KEALA: End of summer

A couple of months have passed and our fur ball has grown three times bigger. We found out her first "quirk" - Keala will not come running to us when called and will run away as a game.


Enjoying the front yard, as long as she's tied to the cable


At six months, Keala's tall enough to jump my garden fence -- Kalohe!

KEALA: Summer update

When Aaron left for FAA training the summer of 2005, we found another "quirk" of Keala's - she likes to bark... a lot... at anything that moves outside of our house -- other dogs, animals, leaves, cars driving by, neighbors walking the neighborhood -- everything. Her guarding instincts must have kicked in because she found her voice -- a loud, deep bark at that -- and used it morning, noon and night!

ROAD TRIP: Rocky River State Park

The gang took a biking trip to Rocky River, Cleveland, OH.

Coming soon!

Concert alert...

We went to see No Doubt and Blink 182 at the Blossom Music Center, Richfield, Ohio.

Introducing... Keala

Now that we own a house with an enclosed backyard, we could finally get a puppy! We intended on purchasing a Bernese mountain dog from Pennsylvania but ended up getting a Great Pyrenees in Elyria! She is so adorable and cuddly!


Aaron chose "Nicki" from 12 other puppies -- she's the pick of the litter at 8 weeks old!


At two months, she's a big ball of fur -- enjoying an ohana barbeque in the backyard


She loves to travel!


Happy and Kalohe in the backyard
