Getting the gentle leader ready
Walking the trail
It was time for me to clean my garden and prep it for the cold and snow. Here Keala is patrolling while Ikaika's trying to figure out how to get in.
Keala in the garden and Ikaika in the backyard
Ah the first snowfall!
Ikaika's first winter, front yard
On a side note, we discovered Ikaika has hip dysplasia -- a very common degenerative joint disease especially seen in large breed dogs like St. Bernards. Ikaika's hips are smaller than the rest of his body so he relies on his front legs more than his back legs -- hence he doesn't jump over, on or around like Keala. Aaron wants to consider hip surgery; I'm hoping Ikaika will grow out of it. We'll see in a few months...
