Our dog, Kona, is somewhat obsessive-compulsive
when it comes to light reflections...

She will see a flash of light, and it becomes her WHOLE
world. I was taking pictures of the boys, and my camera
was reflecting the sun....FUNNY.

She will stay in the position for a half hour, waiting and
waiting for it to return. I am not kidding.

(Getting ready to pounce)

My dog eats moneyRecently Kona has developed a taste for greenery.

This was the S E C O N D offense...and this time she actually pulled the cash from my wallet. What the... ?! No pictures from the first time -I was waaaaaaay too upset to even think of getting a camera out. Lucky for her I was able to tape it all back together. The first time though the bank barely accepted it. I was seriously ready to drop kick her out the front door and never open it again. Made me realize how much $20 means to me... and not how much my dog does. oooo, did I just say that?? It hurts, but it's true. I try hard to love her. Maybe that's why she's eating my money... *I digress*

THIS is what happens when you get plowed by your dog.

Yesterday evening I was sitting on the lawn with Wyatt in my lap and we were watching Jess do some yardwork. Kona was about 4 ft. in front of us - facing Jess too. He turned on the nozzle on the hose and she flipped out, turning to bolt - well, she bolted into my face! I'm surprised Wyatt came out unscathed! And Kona, she is doing just fine too!

So my first black eye, just in time for race day...maybe people will get out of my way. :P We leave in a few hours! :)

(my poor face - I'm just recovering from a coldsore too!!) sigh.

This is our family dog, Kona. She is a sweet girl. She is 4 years old. She was our first "baby"; until the real babies arrived that is. I love her alot, and not. It's a love/hate relationship really. Although I don't really want to use 'hate' cuz that's a harsh word. We'll change it to dislike. I like Kona because she is good company, not that I'll ever admit that to my husband :), but she is. The house seems somewhat empty when she's not around; sometimes that's a good thing. I like her because no matter how I treat her, she still loves me. I like her because she keeps an eye on the boys and likes to play with them despite how rough they are with her sometimes. I like her because she makes me feel safe when Jess works at nights. I like her because she is a happy, silly, good natured dog. I like her because she has an obsession with flashlights and laser pens. It's really quite funny and entertaining. And lastly, I like her because we are desperately in LOVE with the same man, Jess. sigh. I dislike Kona because she smells - she's a dog afterall, I must remember. I dislike her because she pulls diapers and tampons and tissues out of the trash and leaves me the mess to pick up. EWWW! I know, believe me, I know. I dislike her because she runs in the house with muddy paws - again, another mess for me to clean up. I dislike her because she scratches my beautiful front door when she wants in. grrrrr. I guess I should let her out the back then, right? I dislike her because she begs for food. I don't know why that bothers me so much. And lastly I dislike her because Jess is desperately in love with HER. Yes, she is the 'other woman' in his life. Oh ya, and did I mention she smells? sigh. This was a good exercise. I think the likes far outweigh the dislikes. I'm going to change my attitude and be nice to Kona. :)
