Kona

A week or sos ago, when I was in the front yard, Duane mentioned that he was talking to Chris and that Kona has passed away.  She was taken to the vet who found cancer.

Kona was a black dog with white feet.  When we first met her, she was a shy dog.  She would be at the fence, but when we came over to meet her she would run down the steps.

There was one time, Chris came home and saw me using his hose to wash down Kimo's soft poop and he requested me not to come on his lawn anymore and not to go to the fence to scare his dog.  OK, not a problem.  Sorry about that.

But Chris was still friendly waving or returning waves when we passed by.  Though we never talked much.

She wasn't taken on walks very often, but when they did, Kimo would always bark at them when they passed by.

The most memorable incident [I see it was four years ago] I had with Kona was when I was walking Koa (Eddie's dog).  Kona didn't like Koa as he would always get loose and go to the then-empty lot.  And Kona would bark territorially at him.  So that must have been on her mind as there was the front door was open with a baby gate (I think).  Kona jumped the gate and went after Koa.  I pulled her off and held her.  I didn't think there was much damage, but I recall seeing a little blood on the back of Koa's neck.

But in general, Chris Ann told me, Kona had no problems with other dogs, and apparently was fine with her kids.
