Good news! Max’s favorite little Yorkie companion enjoyed great success at her first dog show. Here are the results in Kiku’s Mom’s own words: On August 16 and 17, she won Winners Bitch (bitch is a good word in dog-ese) over her older “sister” and another girl, for 2 points […]
Have you seen the new app called “BarkCam?” Now here is an example of technology at its finest. BarkCam is an iPhone app that, according to a story in the LA Times, “helps people take pictures of mischievous dogs who’d rather frolic around than pose for a picture.” The Times […]
This is Kiku. Ever since she was small – well, smaller since she is only 4 pounds now – she has loved to jump into the refrigerator if the door is left open for more than a few seconds. Maybe she likes the cool air. Maybe she’s scoping out the […]
Sometimes I’m just an insensitive lout. Other times I’m worse. Recently I was crowing about how Honolulu lucked out on Hurricane Iselle and declared the storm as little more than an inconvenience.

No, this is not a recipe for freshly prepared pup. This is Hurricane Preparedness Pup. Update August 7 mid-afternoon: things are looking positive as Iselle diminishes to a tropical storm. Too soon to get cocky, though. The storm should reach the Big Island of Hawaii this evening and get to […]
The good news: the first hurricane (Iselle) is likely to pass a bit south of Oahu (the yellow-colored island on the chart) rather than a direct wallop. The bad news: it looks like it will maintain Category 1 strength and not diminish to a tropical storm until after it passes the […]
This week, Hawaii faces an unusual and ominous weather phenomenon; namely, we have two hurricanes lined up to pass over the islands within three days of each other. The first puffer, named Hurricane Iselle, is expected to down grade from the current Category 4 designation to a tropical storm by the […]
I was advised by several bloggers that this photo from yesterday’s post screamed for a different caption. OK, here ya go, by popular demand: “Draw me like one of your French girls.” For those who may have missed the reference, this nugget from knowyourmeme.com: “Draw Me Like One of Your French […]
