What is Kona so happy about? He’s finally got a day off and he’s going hiking! This hike is in the desert mountains a couple of hours outside of Los Angeles at a place called the Devil’s Punchbowl, amazing geological formations practically on the infamous San Andreas fault. The boys find the trail head. Our …
A Well Deserved Nap
Kona taking a well deserved nap after a busy day volunteering at the hospital. Is there anything better than a squishy face:)
Temptation
“Oh man, it’s the cookie “stay” test. What to do…what to do? Okay, easy …you can do this…” “Just think of something else…squirrels, stuffies,tennis balls, cookies…mmm, cookies…blueberry cookies….I bet they taste so good…DOH!” “Okay, look away…pretended it isn’t there….there’s no delicious blueberry cookie on my paw…” “I’ll just sneak a little peak to make sure …
Ready For The Weekend
After a crazy week, Kona is more than ready for the weekend. The bad news is I haven’t told him we have to work this weekend again:( I will surprise him with an early morning visit to a new park before we head into the studio tomorrow so hopefully that will keep him smiling. Have …
The Art Of The Nap
Kona will now demonstrate the fine art of the nap. First make sure you’re really good and played out before attempting a nap and then find a really comfy place for you nap (like a bed…one that is not yours is even better!). Relax yourself with a good yawn… Fall over into a reclining position …
Puppy Party
Late Friday night, a trio of trouble showed up to spend the night. Three 9 week old Golden puppies. You forget how tiny Goldens are when they’re pups…even a soccer ball looks huge. Kona likes to sleep in…he slept through the late night pee breaks but he wasn’t impressed with the 6am wake up call…3 …
Full On-Full Off
Full on… Full off… We’re trying like mad to catch up with everyone as it’s been a very long time since we’ve been able to make the rounds…we’ll get there soon!
Dog Paparazzi
While out on the town, Kona is surrounded by dog paparazzi. Always happy to pose with fans, he patiently gets his picture taken with a tourist. A small break was had after all that work.
Trust
Learning to love again starts with trust. It’s almost one year since Kona came to stay with us, as a foster dog, and shortly afterward became part of our family. What a year it has been. We have seen Kona blossom into a loving, fun and most importantly, confident dog. Learning how to trust has …
Coastal Hike
We decided we needed to take a day and spend some quality family time. It was refreshing after months of crazy schedules… which we went back to the next day but at least we felt better:) A marine layer made for a great day for a hike on the coast…not too hot and not too …
Joy
I dare you not to smile! This is the joy of living with a Golden:)
Weekend Smile
Kona is all smiles after a morning volunteering for pet therapy at the hospital. Hope you all have a GReat weekend!
A Day At The Beach
After working like maniacs for months we took a day off and spent it at the beach. The weather was perfect and Kona had a great time. It was a real joy to see how confident and happy he was, a marked change from the first time he was at the beach. Even though it …
Kona’s Bad Week.
Kona had a rough week last week. They say things bad happen in threes and so they did. It started out with Kona getting attacked by another dog, who was off leash. Kona fought back but was outweighed by about 70 pounds (it was a BIG dog) and got the worst of it which was …
Law & Order.
The district attorney presents the main suspect, one Kona the dog, aka “Kona Bean”, “Koko” and ” Koney Baloney” … Who promptly employs the “Look, am I not cute with my frisbee?” defense. Evidence “A” submitted to the jury…one really big hole and debris from said hole… Defendant claims a Mr. 3-legged Fox dug the …
