Minnie and Buddha

Took Kimo out and walked a little with Amy, mom, Harriet. Amy was poking her cane near Kimo to point out certain things, but Kimo didn't react any.

Then Gerald brought Hershey. While walking by, Charlotte called me and we went down the driveway as she wanted to give me some perilla that she was cutting and was growing in one of Amy's pots. I never heard of perilla before, but I see it's an herb that is a member of the mint family.

Kimo acted up a little at Miki but settled down after a while. Amy and Reina went on a trip, so I'm tempted to bring the dogs inside the Miyamoto fence (even though I'm not consulting a trained professional).

Then off to Lolena Place where Big Boy (the mastiff) barked and jumped around at us as usual. He might be aggressive, but seems a little playful too. Then up the hill. Along the railing. Down the Kamalii fence. This time the pit was outside tied up and barked at us. Further down, the black dog was out and barked at us too but stopped barking as I let the dogs smell around. But resumed barking as we rounded the corner and the little dog barked at us from behind the screen door.

The scared dog barked at us again (barks but doesn't want to come up to the fence).

Then up Skyline. No sign of the big white dog running outside. Right on Makanani. The white dog lay down and didn't bark but there was some barking from the brown dog who I actually didn't see. Then we came to the house which had the "furry beagle". The lady was coming out and said the dog was in the house today. Then to the gate with the brown dog with the subtle white spots. He was waiting for us at the gate and Kimo went to sniff a little.

Then up Aulii, left on Puna. There was a lady carrying a baby with a little furry dog. I came closer and asked how the dog was with other dogs. It didn't sound like the dog was too friendly but not too hostile either. So I brought Hershey and Kimo. Hershey had no problems as the dog allowed him to sniff him. But Kimo came up and kind of backed off when the dog came forward to sniff him.

It turned out the dog's name was Buddha and is a Tibetan Spaniel which I never heard of. And the lady's name is Minnie. Didn't ask about the baby's name.

So we went walking with her up Puna. She said Buddha used to walk with a little dog and was kind of pushy. And used to walk with a bigger more pushy dog and would growl. Hershey seemed to be about the right energy for him and they mostly walked together up and down the street. I kept Kimo on the other side away from the baby to be cautious.

She seemed interested in walking again. So we'll see tomorrow.
