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 …

How To Save A Life…Including Your Dog’s.
While on a hike this past weekend, we had a lesson in how fast a good time can quickly turn to an emergency, when you least suspect it. After hiking to the summit of some local mountains, we gave Kona a cookie for a snack . Being a dog, he inhaled it as fast as …
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. This week I took Kona to meet up with the dogs of Spencer‘s pet therapy speech group from Northridge Hospital. It was great to see everyone again and we were there to honor Sophia, who is retiring from pet …
Fast Friday
Kona exhibiting his super sonic speed at a dog run in Santa Monica. The aftermath…super sonic snooze.
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
Today a busy and somewhat problem ridden week caught up with me all at once. It took me by surprise after having such a great time last weekend, visiting with all our blogging friends during Simona & Marco’s SoCal visit. Days like this sneak up on you, minute by minute, another issue rears it’s head …
Kona – Weekend Update
Kona has rested up from his big adventure last weekend and was raring to go for more fun this weekend. There’s nothing like kicking off the weekend with a game of frisbee before brunch. An who doesn’t love to chase pigeons? The Kona effect… On a walk Kona stopped to say hello to one of …
Kona & Friends
As many of you know by now Paco, Milo & Maya’s parents, Marco & Simona, were in California so we took a road trip down to meet them. They were staying with fellow blogger Val & her pups, Joey & Kealani, at a house on the beach. There were beautiful views. When we arrived Sammie …
Kona – Meeting Sammie
After years of blogging, yesterday we finally got to meet some of our blog buddies. We were very excited to meet Sammie who was passing through Los Angeles with her HM & HD. Kona and Sammie got along great as they got to know each other at a park. Sammie gave Kona these delicious cookies…she …
Kona-Weekend Wrap Up
This weekend was a lot of fun with Kona and we hope everyone had a wonderful weekend themselves. Kona has a small, um, ok, rather large, squirrel obsession and spent a fair bit of time on the lookout for the sneaky guys. He has his usual yard patrol in the mornings and then we went …
Kona-Muse
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 …
