BIG Changes for Kona...









Kona is getting so big! Such a joy to have around the house. Scott and I have been working on her training skills...she now knows how to sit, stay, lay down, and come. Heel on walks is still a work in progress, but nevertheless, she is making huge gains! These next few months will be very interesting as she continues to develop her personality and grow into herself.

Recently, she started swimming! Such an exciting time for sure. She loves to retrieve sticks, tennis balls (LOVES them), and just about anything else. I think Jazz (a beautiful, energetic black lab) was responsible for helping Kona build confidence in her swimming. Not as much vertical swimming anymore...she's getting the horizontal swim down for sure!

Kona is such a people dog! Loves to be around Scott and me (and anyone else for that matter) as much as possible. She loves to be scratched and rubbed...she'll get all wiggly if you stop in the middle of a scratching session. Such a crazy dog!

Everyone really seems to love her. Her disposition is so gentle and calm (after a good day of running and fetching of course)...but even on her most hyper days, she has moments when all she wants to do is rest her head on Scott's knee or sit on the floor with her head in my lap.

I think we can honestly say that she was a great choice for a dog. She fits Scott so well...loves him to pieces. All for now!
