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 […]
As I commented in another blog, dog bath pictures may be the canine equivalent of your parents showing your baby photos to your date for the junior prom. But here goes… Today was Max’s bath day. We usually scrub the Malt twice a week. Now, I can almost hear some of you […]
