solo walk

no Hershey again today, so took Kimo out by himself.

Hala, Wayne out w/ Coco, no barking but no sniffing (though Wayne said Coco went wild at pitbull walking)

Laki, little white dog barking, called back; go to old pit, roundabout at first, brief sniff

dog across Maluhia, barks (though apparently he stopped the small one from barking)

pack of dogs on Hala, go slow/stop, minimal barking (I'd give that a success)

dog on balcony - persists in barking as Kimo sniffs around (owner comes out twice)

small dog on Naio (chihuahua mix?), comes down to gate, sniffs, then Kimo turns around and sits

brownie on Makanani (kind of looks like a German Shorthaired Pointer that I saw on Dogs 101), jumps out of car and comes to gate, sniff

Kimo and the black truck

I'm noticing that Kimo doesn't like black trucks.

The other day the pilot was driving a black truck and Kimo charged after it as it passed.

Then yesterday I was holding Kimo as Keith was walking and a black truck went up and parked up the street. Kimo went wild and I had to grab his collar and hold him until he calmed down. I didn't notice Keith going wild. So maybe he was already charged up with the black truck in sight(?)

Friends for Life

I learned about this organization when it was featured on Pet Hui.

waiting for the small dogs (to stop barking)

take out Kimo & Hershey
Hala - see Wayne, Coco stays by stairs
Laki, little white dog barks, visit pitbull
hear small dogs barking on Hala, lady walking pitbull, hold Kimo as they walk past
stop as the dogs bark at us, after a while only shaggy dog barks, then they just stand at fence and look
man on balcony brings his dog barking inside, other dog stays outside and just looks at us
Naio: small puppy (chihuahua mix?) on top of stonewall walks nearer to us, but doesn't come to gate
Hillcrest, Skyline, Makanani: visit brownie by gate
