A Community Of Dogs
From the top of our condo, urban Honolulu looks to be an undifferentiated mass of concrete spreading out to Diamond Head in the East and the Pacific Ocean to the South. In reality, this sprawl is an aggregation of smaller land parcels each with a distinct flavor and character. In […]
Max Checks Out the Latest K-Videos
Regular readers, and both of you know who you are, will remember that Max is fascinated with Korean movie posters and their depiction of life and love in the land below Dear Leader. Today, our morning constitutional took us past our favorite Korean video shop so of course we took […]
Weather Diversity
It’s been so doggone hot in Honolulu that we took the poochlet for a haircut at Miss Nanako’s place. Here’s the finished product, in a jaunty, nautical mode. That tongue is huge. Meanwhile, up on Mauna Kea, it snowed today.

The name “Shinnyo-en” means “a borderless garden of the unchanging and real nature of things,” and its principal […]
Max Gets His Art On
Did you ever stop and consider that public art would be much improved by the addition of a Maltese dog? Me neither. But that didn’t stop us from running around the financial and government districts and blending the small white dog into some of our favorite sculptures. We eschewed the more […]
Max Visits The End Of The Road
The Malt was frankly suspicious when informed that today’s jaunt would take him to the end of the road. For a dog who soaks up luxury and leisure pursuits, that sounded a bit too challenging to Max. But after a few rounds of hold-the-cookie-on-your-nose, the wee Furbeast was ready for […]
