One of Kona’s favorite places is under my desk in the office. He squeezes himself into this tiny place while I am working, always careful not to get caught on any of the cables everywhere. I like having him there. It’s comforting to feel the weight of his head on my foot and hear his …

Return of the Sun
The sun was back in full force here in Los Angeles today with highs in the low 80’s. After work, Kona and I decided to get some vitamin D and hang out in the yard. He figured helping with gardening meant he had to be IN the garden. After some garden maintenance, we goofed around …
Rainy Day
It has actually rained here in Los Angeles for the past 2 days…really rained, not just a little drizzle. We really needed it and now everything is green and happy. Kona was getting cabin fever because we missed our walk last night, so when it started to clear late this afternoon we headed out for …
Kona Bird Dog
After a really busy work week, we took a small day trip this weekend up to Ojai and Ventura county. Kona was more than ready for adventure. Ojai is a nice place with lots of artists. That makes for some awesome shopping. The main street is a row of unique shops with one of a …
Kennedy – Adopted!
Our week has started off with GReat news…Kennedy has been adopted! We knew she would be adopted quickly because of her fantastic personality. Kennedy will be living the good life here in Los Angeles with her new family who adore her. On her last day with us, Kennedy finally got Kona to play with her, …
Kona – Fall Is Here!
Now that fall has kind of arrived here in Los Angeles (sort of…it was only 89F / 32C today!), we actually can spend some quality time outdoors. Hey, anything under 90F is cool:) Kona was loving all the fresh smells as we did some gardening last night. He especially loves to sniff the leaves as …
Life Lessons
Everything important thing you need to know in life you can learn from a dog. Stretch before you play…the downward dog yoga move is a good way to start…. …and make sure to stretch those back end muscles too. Tread lightly and always carry a tennis ball! Smile and the world smiles with you… Surround …
Kennedy
Well, we fell into another foster rather unexpectedly this weekend. Meet Kennedy, a 6 year old girl who was rescued from an LA shelter. Kennedy has been very neglected…her coat is scraggly, she has pressure sores from laying on hard surfaces, fur is missing, her coat is rough, she has fly strikes on her ears …
Kona-Bling
We thought Kona needed a new tag now that he’s part of the family so we went shopping and came across a shop called Urban Puppy. They hand make the coolest tags and customize them for you. We picked this one for obvious reasons: We also had our contact information stamped into the back. The …
Kona – update
I just want to thank everyone for their very kind words on Kona joining our family. I believe if any of you had the opportunity to meet Kona, you would adopt him in a second:) We’ve been asked if we will continue to foster and we love fostering, so once Kona settles in a bit …
Kona- Adopted!
Do you know why Kona is smiling? Why he is joyfully celebrating? We do. Kona is officially adopted….by us. Yes, once again we are “foster failures” and we couldn’t be happier about it:) We love all our fosters but there was something extra special about Kona for us. There was an instant connection, a certain …
Kona-Big Week
Kona had a huge week here with us. First he got neutered as required of all rescue dogs in Los Angeles. Kona was a little groggy when I picked him up but he recovered just fine and was great about not trying to pull out his stitches. Next he kept me company as pulled his …
The Joy of Being
Dogs know how to live, really live it up and enjoy life like no one else on the planet. One of the reasons I love dogs is because they are the epitome of what a good person should be…happy, carefree, loyal and loving. Having a dog in your house is a constant reminder to be …
