with no Hershey today, decided to go for long walk
Hala, Laki, old pit is there, but Kimo doesn't sniff. Whines and walks away. Back to Hala, down Keola, then to Kuakini, was going to turn on Bachelot but kept going and went exploring Liliuokalani Botanical Garden (though animals not allowed), wound up exiting on Waikahalulu on School. Up Nuuanu, detour to Bates, was going to cut through HBA back to Kuakini but the gate was closed, hit the end of Bates, then back to Nuuanu. Turn on Judd. See dog (and mom) at Tomomitsu house. Dogs sniff briefly. Down Bachelot, look for dog but see a younger spaniel who barks some. Back up to Bates, up Liliha. Chibi by gate. Sniff briefly. Back to Judd. Husky in garage, walks to gate. Another brief sniff.
Should bring my camera next time.

Kimo growls at Hoku
took Kimo & Hershey out
didn't see the Hatakenaka car, so cut thru and went up Lei road
passed Hoku's house, saw Allen and Hoku but Allen didn't see me, so continued up street
but then Dottie saw me and called me
about face
we went in the gate, and Hershey and Hoku went at it right away. This time the gate to the grass was closed since it was muddy. Dottie gave me a stool so we could sit and watch. [While chatting, I learn that MiniMIL's name is Betty. Should be easy to remember, though I don't know why I didn't catch it earlier.]
Later Hoku came over to sniff Kimo. But Kimo was wary and growled at her.
Up the street. Joey came out to bark and run.
Ilima. Saw the Japanese Spitz. And two terriers yipping.
***
In the afternoon, Amy was walking and I saw Koa loose.
He still didn't have his collar on. He came running to me and I reverse leashed him.
On the way, he saw Katherine's cat and acted up. Paused for a while to calm down and continue on. Finally catch up to Amy with Koa pulling in front.
Open gate and down we went. Took him in the back. Hey Eddie is back. Said he took off his collar because he was giving him a bath. And I guess he took off when his back was turned.
Visit the brown dog, but he stayed in his house.

Mini's house
RMAS early, took out Kimo. Windy.
go up Keith's steps
take out Hershey, take Kimo
WTH: go Puna
Hershey finds MacDonald's in graveyard, gobbles some, but drag away from bun
no Hoku, no Joey, but Mini-MIL sees me on way back. brings out Buddha
go to greet, Buddha sniffs. But runs under some stuff piled in corner. Try to lure out with food but not much luck. Even with treat MM got from house.
Try to get him to follow her into house. Nope. Try to lure with food. Close but not quite.
MM closes gate. Tie up Kimo and take off Hershey leash to try to leash Buddha. But no luck and Hershey wants to play.
I guess she finally grabbed him and I untied Kimo and he took off to the side of the house. Followed him around the runway that went to the back of the house. And we came around back to the front. OK time to go.

white dog charges fence
Kimo barking off and on early, but I'm still sleepy.
Finally take him out. Makanani, have him sit facing gate, brown dog comes and they sniff briefly.
Onward. Brown dog that usually barks is whining. Big white dog is quiet. Cross street. Bring Kimo closer. But suddenly white dog charges hitting gate. That was unexpected. Obviously I didn't read the white dog correctly. Which is dangerous.
Skyline, Puna. No Hoku. No Buddha. Lulu barks. No Joey.
Turn on Ilima. The dog near the beginning didn't bark and I think I heard him whine. Relatively quiet compared to last time. Near end see man coming down with two dogs on steps. Dogs start to bark. He hushes them. And they do.

Koa loose * 3
Koa loose in the evening, take him home
Koa loose again. Follow him up w/o leashing him this time. He heads toward the beginning of the street and doesn't come back as I wait by the garage. Forget and go home.
Early a.m. Hear Kimo. It's Koa again. Leash him and he pulls me back. Open garage door and he scoots down steps.

letting Kimo go wild at Keith
take Kimo out, Hershey is there and pick him up too.
Soon RMAS are coming.
Cross street, then follow.
Kimo goes wild at birds.
Continue following. Keith barks at RMAS. Kimo goes wild at Keith. Let RMAS continue. And let Kimo loose to run up steps.
Kimo barked and pawed and barked and pawed. Hershey stayed away toward the bottom of the steps. Surprisingly Keith was nowhere to be seen. I think he was scared. Wanted to see how long Kimo could keep it up. It took a while. Then finally took him down steps as the intensity tapered off.
Continue our walk. Hear Koa whining at fence. Go over to pet. Toni hears and opens garage door and Koa pops out. I guess she don't care if Kimo runs loose.
Trail Koa. He heads down Lanakila. Then to park. Let him run loose in park. We go into volleyball court. Finally get Koa into volleyball court too. Have them come and lie down for food.
Head home. Koa detours down a driveway. Head home without him. But decided to go get Koa's leash. Open garage door. Koa shows up. Let him in the house.
Back past Keith's house. Keith barks somewhat half-heartedly. Back to Keith's steps. Go up slowly. Again Keith nowhere to be seen. Keep Kimo from getting too excited. Go back down steps.
We'll see if this episode makes Kimo and/or Keith better or worse.

Coco and MRB
took Kimo out solo since it was a holiday (no Hershey)
see Wayne out w/ Coco, bring Kimo. they briefly sniff.
then see MRB walking up Lolena. Kimo goes wild. One of the reacts too. They head up toward the teahouse instead of turning into our street. Maybe that's what they're doing these days.
Down Hala, to Laki. Old pit slowly comes to fence, but Kimo doesn't go over to fence this time.
Up Kealakai. Getting tired. Breathe.

mini mother-in-law
I was shaving and I heard Kimo barking. It was RMAS. I come out but Kimo poops and stuff and we never catch up.
Gerald brings Hershey. Let's go to Puna. Dottie lets us in the gate (other lady is Lani). Hoku and Hershey play/wrestle/chase in the grass. Me and Kimo sit and watch.
Minnie's mother-in-law (I'll get her name again one of these days) arrives at the scene with baby in carriage and Buddha on leash.
We go walking up the street. Lulu barks. Joey is out with the owner (Cheryl is her name it turns out). They chat. Joey tries to sniff through the fence. We take the dogs to the back gate where they can sniff. Joey doesn't bark, but probably because Cheryl is there.
***
Donna comes over with food. Kimo doesn't want to get up from landing as I pull his leash to get going. After a few tugs, he finally relaxes a little and off we go for a partial lap. Hadji greets us by Ito's place. Seems pretty friendly as he lies down like Musubi. But doesn't follow us down. Keith barks at Hadji in the distance.
Here comes the rain as I feed Kimo. Was pretty heavy. But it stopped.

Koa loose
Took Kimo for walk. Saw Toni drive off with garage door left open. Tried to close it with the code but it didn't close. Never mind.
Heading home, I see Koa loose. Continuing on home, I let Kimo loose wondering if he was going to run/play with Koa.
Nope, he runs up Keith's steps. Keith doesn't react much, but then sees Koa loose and barks. Then Kimo gets a little wild and I lead him down the steps.
Take Koa home. Still had trouble closing door. Close manually. Troy hears and lets Koa in house. And manages to close door.
