Speech Therapy

This was  a busy week for Kona. First we visited a few nursing homes to spread some holiday cheer. Kona dressed as reindeer to get into the festive spirit. (Again there is all kinds of legal issues to take pictures with residents and patients so we can only post Kona:) And yesterday we were back …

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 …

King of Destruction.

Hello everyone! Sorry I’ve been away for such a long time. We’re still working on renovations here and I am finding it hard to find time to blog these days. The destruction is in full effect now! This was the pink bathroom that HAD TO GO!!! Out came the sledge hammers and the humans got …

Here We Go Again.

 With the pups gone it was quiet enough for me to sleep in this morning instead of getting up at dawn. I LOVE to sleep in and my bed is very comfy! I even have my own pillow. I was still very tired today despite sleeping in until 8am. I had to get up and …

Puppy Shenanigans.

When I woke up this morning…very early this morning…the kid was still here. Puppies sure do get up early! I like to sleep in myself because we go to bed very late. You know the humans are creative types that work better in the dark, BOL!   Anyway, I was snoozing away when there was …

Puppy Madness.

The big news is that yesterday a 4 month old puppy came to live at my house for a little while. We are fostering Jessy for the Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue. So I guess that makes me a big brother…kind of. She is in her gangly teenager stage…all limbs! She’s still pretty small. The …

The Return of the Sun.

Ahhhh, the sun came back after nearly a week of torrential downpours. And may I say it was not a moment too soon. It was getting really boring not being able to go places without getting soaked. This morning I decided to soak up as many rays as possible and recharge my vitamin D supply. …

Waiting For Santa Paws.

  This week I got a Christmas tree and decorated it…ok, so I did have some help from the humans, but I did give it a good sniff to make sure no one had peed on it. It smells very nice and pine fresh actually.   Once we got it all decorated I decided to …

Power naps.

I am a big advocate of naps. Naps are good…no…they’re great! Everyone should take naps. I like to  stretch out  in the big room and nap in the sun… I like to  snooze on one of my beds with my blanket… And when it cools off at night I curl up snug like a bug… …

Lavender Dog.

The night before I go to the hospital to do my pet therapy rounds, I have to have a bath.  They say I  have to look good and smell nice for the humans. I’m a dog…I think I smell fine without lavender shampoo and conditioner! Anyway, it makes all the humans happy so I put …

Weekend Hike.

This weekend was a busy weekend for me. We started off with hiking in the Brand Trails in the Verdugo Mountains. I like it here because it’s very peaceful and there are lots of good smells. The trails start out at Brand park and get rugged quite quickly. There are also good mountain bike trails …

Sleepy Head.

I like to sleep. I admit it  but that’s ok because  I play hard. My humans say they never saw a dog sleep so hard. I squeeze my eyes tight and when I am in a really deep sleep I curl up on my big comfy bed in a little ball. Sometimes I snore softly …
