Ornery Cuss?

You’ve probably seen the GoDaddy ad that was prepared for the Super Bowl but got pulled after folks went ballistic. If you missed it, here’s a look: I have to admit, not without some shame, that I laughed when I first watched it. What struck me funny was the spot […]

Meet Stuart Little

Say good morning to Mr. Stuart Little, one of Max’s best friends in the K Streets. Stuart is a 10 year-old Pomeranian- Dachshund mix, a fluffy little guy who has the calmest personality I’ve ever seen. He’s very laid back, a cool character who doesn’t much engage in dog play […]

Max Visits Point Panic

Today Max, the Alpha Japanese Female (AJF) and I went to “Point Panic” on the eastern tip of Kaka’ako Waterfront Park, facing Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach across Mamala Bay. Point Panic is where I took the banner photo at the top of this blog. Point Panic got its name because surfers riding […]

Dodged the Bullet

Update August 8, morning: Well, nothing happened. Hurricane Iselle weakened to a tropical storm and hit the Big Island a bit south of the expected land fall with a lot of rain and moderately strong winds but all in all we dodged the bullet and the first of the two […]

Max Goes Urban-Edgy

Today, our perambulations took us out of our K Street neighborhood for a visually stimulating walking tour of the wilds of urban Kaka’ako; specifically, the district owned and master planned for development by huge, local land owner Kamehameha Schools. Kakaʻako was once a thriving Native Hawaiian community with agricultural terraces […]

Ubalm

I got to get some of this stuff. From acne and psoriasis to windburn and tired arms, the not quite famous Ubalm – made in the USA – solves all problems. It even makes cartoon cows wink at you at least once a day.

Itchy

Last night Max and I were ambling along Ke’eaumoku Street, trading wisecracks and sass as good buddies often do. We had pretty much agreed that hedgehogs would have a better reputation if they shared the hedge a little more. But I digress. We noticed a new food emporium had opened. Ladies and […]

Prince Charming Update

Prince Charming’s human sent me a note advising that the Dogfather was not deaf. Like me, his age is causing a gradual drop in aural acuity. Like me, there may be a certain selectivity regarding who and what we hear and when. Dinner call – yes, I can hear you! Instructions […]

Old Yeller Calls for Security

“Security!” she shrieked. “Somebody call Security!” Max and I were walking down Kaheka Street next to the old Pagoda Terrace, a building in transition from budget hotel to budget condo development. The street was largely empty on this early Sunday morning and quiet save for the hum emanating from the […]

The Pretty Poodles

Let me take a short pause from K Street adventures to introduce two of Max’s very good friends, Miss Bijoux and Miss Luna. Bijoux is the black miniature poodle. She will be 7 this year, the same as Max. Luna is the golden poodle and she’s about 9 years old. Ooh, […]
