Update from Adam (Now Kona)

From death-row California, to living it up in Brentwood Bay.

Adam's Intake Picture makes him look kind of weird, but those eyes shone through anyway!


Here's what Adam (Now Kona's) people have to say!

Hi Emily! Adam is now.......Kona!

He is a wonderful dog and we all love him very much. Even our cat is getting used to him. He doesn't care about our cat at all.

Kona is usually quiet around the house until we put him to bed. Then he barks 5 or six times but we ignore him and he falls asleep. I guess he just wants to keep playing and giving us his affection. He is very cuddly.

He doesn't like being crated in the van but he sure likes riding in the front seat. He likes other dogs and always wants to play with them. If a mean dog growls at him, he growls back which Al likes! He has 2 or 3 good friends now and is very tolerant of little Scamp across the street who
continually jumps up on him.

He is starting to chew stuff so we are keeping an eye on him. Especially after he chewed the ends of Al's prescription sunglasses and one of our Christmas decorations.

He has lots of toys, two sweaters (one grey and one Canuck colours), a rain coat and other accessories. He went to the doggy wash the first week he was home but we cleaned him in the wash tub last week. He doesn't like that too much.

He is very fast. When he was playing with our friends dogs we were amazed at how fast he can run, change directions and how much energy he has. He is really curious about birds, squirrels, our guinea pigs and leaves that are blowing around.

He is starting to eat and we think he is putting on some weight. He used to just inhale his food and water so we got a stand for his bowls and now that he is settled in he is having 2 full meals a day.

He loves watching what other dogs are doing when we are out for walks. He gets up for his first walk at 5:30, then goes again at 8, 12, 3, 6 and 8 pm every day. On the weekends he gets out even more and never gets tired.

Well, that's our update for now Emily. Thanks so much for bringing him in to our lives.

We're up for a reunion party any time. I think Kona would like to see Lemon again sometime.
Bye for now,

Al, Cathy and  Colleen

And they sent me some awesome pictures too :)

Now, doesn't he just look like a prep-school boy! Very handsome!

I'm very glad I ate the beans and weiners for a week or two so that Adam/Kona could get such a wonderful home. Well worth the crappy diet!

I've sent an e-mail to almost all the adopters of my foster dogs, so am hoping for a bunch of updates in December :) I'm most looking forward to hearing something from Toast(now Cree) and Honey(now Daisy) as I scooped up the most adorable baby pictures of the two of them!

And, cause I can't keep my nose out of the pictures (I'm going through foster withdrawal I think!), I found Adam's darn look-alike!

Get ADOPTED look-alike, before I have to save you too!
(Not that there wouldn't be a line up for you though!)

Move to house countdown: 8 days. Just 8 days!
