Chasing Koa

Today [4/28] Koa was loose again and Keith and Kimo were barking. Koa was up the road, on the side toward his his house. I decided to let Kimo loose and see what he would do. Reason would tell me that they wouldn't fight since they're both fearful dogs. But my reasoning doesn't always work that well with Kimo. I was hopeful that maybe they would end sniffing each other or something.

So what did Kimo do? Instead of chasing Koa (like he did briefly last time I let him loose when he was near the fire hydrant), he ran instead across the street to the Fong's house and went down the stairs. For some reason, he seems to like to go there. Actually it's a pretty nice place for a dog with nice grass and lots of plants and stuff. And it's enclosed except for the two stairways on each side of the house.

Anyway, he sniffed at the entrance to the lower floor (it's like a big laundry room), but didn't go in and proceeded to go in the back. Mr. Fong was back there and I guess he was surprised. Luckily he didn't try to pet him. I grabbed his leash and escorted Kimo back up the steps. No mishaps except for a pee on some object in the garage. I sprayed it and hoped nobody noticed.

Anyway, I took their newspaper and bottles down to Lanakila. I asked about the bottles and they were more than agreeable. (I guess that's why the bottles were outside next to the paper.) So we still seem on good terms.
