I’m convinced that the most important skill an adventurous dog has to learn is to rest (also in unknown places and on windy days).

So even though we still don’t walk more than a few hundred meters we have made a habit out of taking some very long breaks. Then Puff takes a nap and I meditate with Mother Earth.

"So, if I am cute enough, may I get some of the leafy stuff???"

I don't think Indy is overly enthusiastic about "healthy" foods, but a snack is a snack.

A dog lays his head on the arm of a human. The human is looking at a phone, but the dog is begging for some salad.

We enjoyed another sunset at a beach park. Luckily, with the light fading fast, someone turned on their headlights from the parking lot and I noticed Indy all lit up. When the environment gives you the features of a diffused flash unit way out of frame, use the moment!

A dog stands in the foreground and a beach sunset is in the background.

There is way to much wind for SUP boarding these days.

Luckily there is plenty of other ways to have fun on a beach, especially with good friends.

One more SUP training:

Puff and I stayed close to the shore.
But Aro starts to get confident.

"Escapism" has been the name of the game in our house these last handful of days. Indy is thrilled with "be outside" and "away from screens" being top priorities.

Just doing what we can to maintain sanity.

A dog walks at a brisk pace on the beach near sunset.

Puffs first time on the sea…

Lazy Sunday.

Puff is training very hard to become comfortable on a sup board.

He has his entirely own methods…

I find the news firehose to be overwhelming on weeks like this one. It is important to pay attention, as our democracy is threatened by apathy and disengagement, but it is important to take care of your body and mental state as much as you can.

Indy attended sunset #yoga and was an active participant. He greeted each person and brought plenty of smiles. Remember to find moments of peace & joy.

Team Jappes Xenial Xinus is a very long name… So when I talk to him I tend to call him Puff.

We used to sing Puff the Magic Dragon in school and I was on the verge of crying every single time. Still, I somehow accepted that children have to grow up (as fast as possible) and leave best friends and exiting adventures behind to do boring and meaningless things.

Now I suddenly don’t remember why…

It feels like I really need a Puff in my life.

The news is grim today. I offer up an Indy moment of zen as an alternative to doom-scrolling.

Sometimes, you just need a break to contemplate the vastness of the universe. Indy may have been taking in the sights and thinking about his existence, or he may have just been wondering when we were going to stop for dinner.

A dog is laying down on a rock wall overlooking the Haleakalā summit crater.

So… I was not supposed to buy a dog of my own yet.

But turning 8 weeks Aros cousin, Team Jappes Xenial Xinus, had not found a home, so I got to puppysit for a few days while his breeders celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary with the house full of guests.

Of course I didn’t return him…

In case there was any question, Indy absolutely loves life.

A dog sits in the lap of his human with a beaming smile on his face.

Today is King Kamehameha Day in Hawaii.

This is the only state holiday that celebrates a former monarch. King Kamehameha I is also known as Kamehameha The Great, as his reign saw the creation of the Kingdom of Hawaii (which encompassed all of the major Hawaiian Islands under one ruler for the first time).

Here is "His Highness" with a statue of His Highness.
