Joey is so funny. He carries around socks in his mouth and I cant really tell if he has something in his mouth until he comes up to me and gives me that look. And then he prances around snorting and he wont give it up!
This brown sock was yesterday. Silly Joey!
Judy and Ricochet selling t shirts!

Ok time for the movie to start!!!! Bye!
Is this the cutest thing? I got this cake at http://www.mybestfriendpettreats.com/. I sent her a picture of Joey and Kona and she hand painted it on the cake! Its not a photocopy on the cake, she did it by hand!!!!
Cake anyone?

Kealani says yummy!
Slurp!
Joey and Kona with their party hats. It was a challenge!
Love you bro.
Joey would rather shred it than wear it!
Presents too!!!
Wow! Lets all help open them!!!
Oh my gosh, Joey is going to be 2 years old tomorrow! And that also means that Sues Kona is also going to be 2 years old! You know they are brothers :) So we have a little party planned with cake and everything. So look for our posts about our babies.
Today we woke up to a surprise package on our doorstep from Jenny in WI. We dont know Jenny in WI, but we would like to thank you for the squirrel toy! Joey and Kealani just LOVE it! Are you our secret angel?
******UPDATE**********
Thank you Golden Samantha!!!! Hope all is well and sending you some hugs and kisses! I would like to pass this award onto all of my blogger friends!!! We love blogging!!!!!!
This is Ben, a three legged golden! Loved by Judy who does rescues for Homeward Bound here in San Diego. Her blog is http://lifeon3legs.wordpress.com/. Check it out!
Michelle and Sangtar from http://www.dogbynature.com/ also came for a visit. They live in Los Angeles and they rescued Kona, a very very sweet baby. They have been through a lot because of their previous rescues and Im telling you it takes alot of patience and a lot of love to make it through! Its paying off for Kona and he is thriving! He is a happy story! Check out their blog! 
The real thing! Simona and Marco had sent over some things from Italy like spices, olive oil, pesto sauce,cheeses, salami, you know, yummy stuff! They also brought 2 black truffles with them! Oh what a treat! I probably would have never even tasted that if not for them! We had a lot of authentic Italian meals, but this was such a treat!!! Wow!
Marco grating truffles.
Simona stirring spaghetti.
Ah, so delicate.
And the wine, Cru di Vin chardonnay. It has a Golden retriever on the lable. When you purchase from them 10% of the proceeds goes to fighting canine cancer. 
Well, here is Uncle Bill giving them punkin pie! They were so spoiled!
Thats Joeys butt in his puppy pose playing with Kealani and Sammie
Kealani loved Sammie! She would go over and lick her muzzle and give kisses until Sammie gave in and romped around with her. It was so darn cute!
Here is Miche, cuddling with her baby Sammie!

I started blogging when I first got Joey as a puppy. I wanted to have a "photo album" of sorts kind of like a documention of his wonderful life and what he does for me. What I never expected was to make as many friends as I have a long the way. Like Auntie Sue, she lives across the street and we have a great time together with our "pack". I have my favorite bloggers that I check in with but sometimes have to admit I dont comment on their blogs as much as I should, (sorry). One of my many favorites is Paco, Milo and Mayas blog! They live in Italy and Ive gotton to know them just by reading their blog and you really begin to know them as a kind of family. A Golden family of sorts! Anyway, they are coming here, to San Diego! From Italy! I cant believe it! They are staying with me and I couldnt be more excited! So you should be seeing some great blog entries in the next week hopefully! Ill take all of you along for our adventure! You can check out their blog at http://pacoemilo.blogspot.com/. Oh and then Samantha is also coming too!!!! She is from the bay area! Can you believe it? Talk about some great people there! She will be staying with us too! Check out her blog at http://sammiegolden.blogspot.com/Also I hope to meet Konas parents, they are from LA. Hopefully meeting up with us for the Halloween Parade! Oh I wanted to mention so sorry we wont be able to meet Sierra Roses mommy, she couldnt make it. But Maybe next time!
Oh that water feels good!
We practically had the place to ourselves!
Beautiful Joey

They got their Halloween costumes today!!! It was so cute but they didnt really want to wear them and I may not be able to get them to wear them for the parade on Halloween! But thats ok, they were good sports about it and I got these photos!!! Yep, My little Devil Joey and my Angel bug Kealani. OXOXO
Right over our rooftops!
So close you can see the pilot!
Thats the tree in my front yard!
Pilot shot
Oh youre so close!
If only I were taller!!!
This is my new stuffed lizard mommy bought me and I love to carry it around!
Oh the salt water burns my eyes mommy!
Hey! The ball is under water!!
Wow! What a perfect day!!! It was 75 degrees and the water was warm! And we practically had the place to ourselves!!!! And we just played and played!!!! Its was awesome!!!
I have heartbreaking news. Kealani was diagnosed today with Juvenile Panosteitis. Its an inflammation of the bone,usually in the long bones of the front legs in growing dogs. It started last Friday when she came in from the outside playing with Joey. She was limping and I was wondering if she broke something or got stung by a bee. I instantly called Auntie Sue and she came over and checked her paw. We didnt see anything in her pads and her foot didnt look broken. So she seemed to get better with some rest but then today I took her to the vet to make sure and he had a hunch it is Panosteitis. So I got some Metacam for pain and was hoping she would feel better within the week. BUT THEN at 330 today I noticed her not walking on the other foot!!! She wouldnt put it down and she just wouldnt walk! I panicked and called the vet and rushed her over. Again he said its Panosteitis and that it should go away in a couple of weeks with rest and medicine. So she has inflammation of her bones IN BOTH front legs!!!!!!! So, we will be laying low for a while. Sorry friends, I havent posted much lately and I will be busy giving Kealani lots of hugs and kisses, Oh and Joey too! :) Keep us in your thoughts friends.
At the meetup tonight we had 2 puppies!!! On the left is Charlie, and on the right is Gracie. Gracie is a puppy from the same breeder as Joey Kealani and Kona.
Gracie.
More Gracie, she looks just like joey did as a pup!
Kealani and her ball. She doesnt go anywhere without it!
Kona, in his own little world!
This, on the way home. Oh its so hot and humid!!!!
Our awesome friends Paco Milo and Maya gave us this award!!!!! We really thank you for this wonderful award!!!! We are sorry we havent been blogging too much, its just been so HOT!!!!!! Its hard to get anything done!!!!!!
Kona stalking Joey.....
Whoo Hoo play time!~!!!!!!!!
And it ends with a splash!!!!
They love playing keep away, especially when I am on the computer! Every time I look at them it warms my heart. They just love each other so much. ++++sigh+++++ I just love them too!
Auntie Sue took some pictures today at Wags for Wishes and the Splash Dogs event! That was so nice of her to go with us, thank you so much! Joey just loves jumping! When we got there he recognized what was going on and got very excited!! He was so well behaved and I was so proud of him! I was able to take off his leash and he went up the stairs and waited. Then I threw in the toy and he jumped in after it! It was wonderful. We were going to compete but their computers werent working and we had been there for a long while so we ended up leaving after a ton of practice jumps and Joey was starting to drag himself out of the pool. So anyway we had a great time and we may go back over the weekend. I just love watching him! My Boo Bear!!!!
Joey and Kealani with their Statue of Liberty hats!! So cute. Happy 4th everyone!!!
Our friends, Judy and Rina.

Videos of our Jill surfing!!! I swear, she absolutely LOVES it!
Below is Ricochet surfing backwards! Cutie!
I think Joey might prefer Dock Jumping to Surfing and Kealani is just a little beach bunny. She sashays around to get pets from everybody and then comes back to me and then does it again! Shes so cute! We had such a great time today!
Yesterday was a great meetup day! We went to Ramona to a dog resort called Little Wolf. It was heaven for Joey and Kealani and all of their friends! Auntie Sue runs our meetup group and she just comes up with the greatest things to do with our pups! Next week, is surfing!!! Stay tuned!
Oh we are so tired!!!!
Thats me on the left of the house with the white shirt! Great bunch of friends!
Hangin out, having morning coffee, they just look so cute with the flowers. And of course, Kealani with her favorite ball.
We had such a great day at Auntie Sues! It was hot outside and her pool was super nice! Thats a perfect picture of Kealani with her favorite ball! Sue took these pictures! Thank you so much Auntie Sue!!!!

Destination: Lake Henshaw Ca, Objective: Have fun!!!! They played and played and loved it! We had the shoreline to ourselves and we had tons of fun! That is Kona sitting in the water, looking at the ducks. He is so funny and he is his own man. It was a long drive, over an hour and Joey and Kealani got car sick poor babies. But all of that was forgotton once we got there! I would recommend going there because they are dog friendly but the bummer was there were some big stickers that got caught in their coats!
Im just plinkin away on the computer and this is what I see... They are just hanging out together so happy. So darn cute!
