Pet Therapy Friends

29 Nov

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 therapy. Everyone loved Kona, dogs and people alike. We are getting ready to start the first part of his training to see if he could go on to be a therapy dog for the hospital. Here’s some pics of the gang:

Kona-Weekend Wrap Up

26 Oct

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 to a couple of parks where he enlisted help on a scouting mission.

Kona enjoyed a few games of frisbee and some tennis ball retrieves. In the past few weeks he has become very playful and it is a lot of fun for us. It’s also a reminder that rescues take some time to return to their true nature. Kona is coming up on 2 months with us and as he relaxes, he reveals more and more of his true self to us.

After all that activity, Kona snuggled up on the sofa for a nap. He’s a dog that lives by the motto “Play hard, sleep hard”.

PS

We just wanted to leave a note that we can’t leave messages on our friend blogs who have the account pull down thingy. (Like Sierra Rose‘s comment form). We’ve tried evey which way with them but with no luck, those forms just don’t like us. So we are thinking of you we just can’t leave a message to let you know.

 

Life Lessons

01 Oct

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!
