getting past Roxy

Keith barking in the morning gets Kimo running to the side gate. Sure enough it's RMAS.

Take Kimo out. See Hershey is here already. Take Kimo up Tsutsui steps. Amy with Shammy brings in blue bin. Kimo goes wild. Have to hold leash up, Shadow-like.

Follow at a distance. Eventually catch up to Amy and Shammy. They go down driveway. But then Kimo wants to go down driveway too. Sniffs around Oliver's area. Time to go. Wave to Kimo in the house as I think he's waving to me, but he's doing his stretching exercises in front of the TV.

Go to Makanani via the Natsunoya wall. Traffic. Run toward end to run away from traffic.

Up Aulii. Then to Puna. Don't see Hoku, but see Buddha's gate open. See Betty in the yard. She says Kaylen is sick so no walk today. Buddha is at the door. Kimo goes over to door. Betty opens door, but Buddha runs back in the house. Later I open the door, Buddha doesn't run away but doesn't come out. Betty says he's trained not to run out of the house. It's working. Betty hears Kaylen crying and she brings her out.

Chat a while and head to Hoku's house. Let Kimo walk around and sniff a bit. Went up the steps a couple of times. Evidently likes to go up steps. Hoku and Hershey wrestle and chase. But after a while, Hershey seemed to tire out and Hoku barked at him because she wanted to play some more. Then they both tire out. Time to go.

Up Puna. No sign of Joey. Ilima. The terriers bark, but the other dogs across the street don't bark. Their owner seems to have good control over them.

Decide to turn into the street behind our house. The little dog (Roxy) is there. Kimo sniffs her with no incident and she doesn't seem to have a problem with Hershey either. Walk past her to the stonewall. Jump down. The wall seems a little high for Kimo so I carry him down. No problem. Hershey jumps down.

In the afternoon, I I hear some light barking. It's the mailman who likes to give Kimo biscuits. He was in the driveway tossing biscuits over the fence. Kimo would run up the steps away from the biscuits. Then later come back to eat them when the mailman backed off. I told the mailman Kimo's shy.

Still later, Kimo was barking at Keith on the street scampering around at the end of the leash. Took Kimo up the other way and stopped to look as Keith was coming back down. Keith acted up as he passed out house even with Kimo not home.

Head to Yokomoto house. Sniffs around the garage, then see June with her light tan cat. Kimo gets close to the cat and the cat doesn't run away. Chat a bit with June as she says her computer acts quirky when she shuts down. And learned the name of the cat is Tiko, a small male.
