Happy Dog of the Day to you, beautiful Kona! Three cheers for rescues, rescuers, and the wonderful, caring, compassionate humans who choose to go the rescue route; folks such as your caring forever humans! YOU, beautful Kona, are living, walking, woofing proof of the priceless rewards of adoption, and what a gem of a pup your parents have in you! (The ears alone have my heart melted in a puddle of mush) What a simply precious puppy you were, and what a handsome, athletic, smart as a whip big boy you're growing up to be! And oh yeah, you're going to be a BIG boy! And of course you've still got that um, "puppytude" about you! But you're already learning your manners, and with time you'll no doubt be the best behaved pup in the neighborhood!

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of beloved predecessor. We here all can relate to the indescriable pain the comes with the loss of a heart furkid, and we send to your family our most heartfelt condolences. And while it's clear you have some miighty impressive, big pawprints to fill, I do believe you're more than up to the task, and will make your family, and your beloved predecessor, proud! No other pup can or should replace another in our hearts. But with time you will take your very own special place in their hearts, loved equally but uniquely, for the very special boy that you are!


Enjoy your much deserved day of honor, sweetheart, and every moment of your wonderful life there in beautiful Colorado! Hope you're treated to a very special, fun and adventure filled day, celebrating to the max with your humans, and perhaps your fursis, too! (Hoping for many more reunions for you and her; such a sweet story!!!)

Love and hugs and kisses to you, beautiful Kona!!!
