No More Frisbee
“No more frisbee”. These are the words Kona heard yesterday at the vets. He began limping a week ago and we took Kona for a check-up. After x-rays, the vet thought maybe it was a sprain, and Kona was to spend a week on rest & relaxation, something he’s pretty good at. When the week …
Foster : Ciara-Day 5
Day five and we’re still alive having a great time with Ciara. Actually she has calmed down a little bit and will actually sit still for a few minutes at a time. Checking out the squirrels… But then her inner spaz kicks in and the action starts again. Giving Uncle Kona some love… Showing the …

Rain, Rain, Go Away.
After a week of beautiful sunshine, I woke up to this today…rain. So instead of my morning walk, I hung out in the doorway and watched the rain fall. Notice how I conveniently got the humans to put my blanket there for me? After work I came home and snuggled up on my living room …
Hello 2009!
Hello 2009! I stayed up to midnight and celebrated with a cookie, some milk and big hugs from my humans. It was the perfect start to the new year. The first day of the year was excellent here in Los Angeles. It was a beautiful sunny day and I spent most of it outside, playing …

Meditation For Dogs.
I feel pretty good this week. I think my acupuncture and Adequan treatments are helping a lot. So I played a lot and then I relaxed a lot. I like to chill on my West Paws nap bed. It’s nice and portable too so we roll it up and take it with us to my …
Micro Nose World.
My nose is very sensitive… it smells things close up… like red hot chilies…. and yellow flowers…. I can even smell the spray of the drops of water from the fountain… and the roses… as well as the limes…. I don’t get too close to smell this cactus because it’s prickly… but I like to …
More Tiny Needles.
Today I went for my second treatment of acupuncture as part of my treatment for arthritis and hip dysplasia. This time I was prepared and took my West Paw Eco Nap Bed. It rolls up just like a yoga mat, and I just love it! It makes you feel comfy no matter where you are. …
Pet Therapy Monday.
Yesterday was my day to go to do pet therapy at Northridge Hospital. I get really happy to go when my HM starts getting all our things ready. I sit somewhat patiently and watch her ironing our outfits and packing my cookies. Let’s get this show on the road! We are part of a group …
The Ups & (Mostly) Downs Of Getting Old.

Bath Renovation Roundup.
When we moved into our house one of the bathrooms was this crazy pink bathroom from 1945…believe me, that is a lot of pink! So this year we decided it had to go. All those TV DIY shows make the demo part look fun but it’s actually the worst…big messes and lots of dust! …
Beautiful Packages With Pawesome Surprises.
One of my blog readers, Eva, has a wonderful site alilsumptinsumptin that features her original handmade jewelry. Recently she made a necklace dedicated in memory of Ben & Jerry. My human mom has admired Eva’s work for some time and couldn’t resist the beautiful necklace which also would carry a lot of sentimental value for …
Weekend Beach Bum.
After our big Cali Adventure, it was hard to get back into the swing of work. So after slogging through the week we decided to spend a day at the beach to relax. We packed up a nice picnic and headed over to our favorite local dog friendly beach, Leo Carrillo State Park beach. Dogs …
Cali Coastal Adventure: Part 5-Heading Home
After a few GReat days in Carmel, e had to head back home to Los Angeles. So we packed up and headed down historic route 101. Route 1 is more scenic if you get a chance to drive it but because of the fires in Big Sur, part of it was closed. I jumped in …
