Raja-Remembering The Original Red Dog
In loving memory of Raja April 7, 1997 – March 1, 2006 Raja was an amazing Golden Retriever who taught me the most important things in life: play hard, love harder and enjoy the moment, each and every one of them. I have never met anyone who lived life better than Raja. Though thick and …
Run Kona, Run!
Yesterday we took an impromptu trip out to the desert to see if the wildflowers were blooming (they are but not in full force yet). Seeing as how we were in the middle of nowhere we decided to let Kona run free…and boy, did he run!! He ran up hill and down… Down an old …

How To Save A Life…Including Your Dog’s.

Wednesday Wonder
Look into these deep brown eyes and feel the wonder, the love of life. Every morning, as soon as I open my eyes, Kona is sitting next to the bed, staring intently at me with his beautiful brown eyes and a smile plastered across his silly Golden face. It is the goofiest thing but I …
Spencer-Remembering The Love.
In loving memory of Spencer March 1, 1998 – February 17, 2009 It is hard to believe it has been a year since we lost Spencer to cancer. I still laugh out loud when I think of some of his antics. He was an amazing dog who touched many other lives besides ours. An old …
Hike
This past weekend was perfect weather for hiking. Off to Griffith Park we went, our destination…top of this hill. Kona found a less used path to the top. Easy for him, not so easy for us with all the overhang. Let’s just say there was much ducking and scraping on the way up:) Half way …
Pet Therapy Friends
We’re back from the Thanksgiving holiday break and we hope everyone had a lovely long weekend.

It was great to see everyone again and we were there to honor Sophia, who is retiring from pet …
Fast Friday

Weekend Fun
This weekend the weather was awesome here in Los Angeles, sunny and a little cooler (yeah, fall!), which meant it was a great time to be outside. Kona is continuing to settle in to his new life and has finally realized that all the toys around the house are his. He loves to play with …
Kona- The Essence Of Being

Days like this sneak up on you, minute by minute, another issue rears it’s head …
