Holiday Hike
Every week we try to get out for a hike, and Kona was eager to get out this morning. He woke up raring to go…. This week’s destination was Stough Canyon, a beautiful canyon nestled in the Verdugo Mountains. There is no shade on the trail, so we got an early start. Luckily, there was …

Nikon D60 : 35mm : shutter 1/30: aperture f /2.8: ISO 1600 I walked around the corner to find Kona crashed out like this on the sofa. It doesn’t really look all that comfortable but he was snoring away contentedly. Who can debate dogs that excel in the art of napping?

7/52 : Kona – For Spencer
It was 2 years ago today we lost our Spencer. He still makes me smile everyday, especially when I remember how he would pick up 3 tennis balls at the same time and “talk” to me. Kona can only do one tennis ball at a time but it makes him happy to have many. I …
