Under progress.....

Kona (our older Alaskan Klee Kai) is a Certified Therapy Dog, and Matt and Kona visit elder care facilities and the hospital at least once a month. He has quite a few good stories one was about how a woman met Kona 4 times in the same hour. At the 2007 Specialty, Kona took home a Best Altered Male and Best Altered of Breed award- His First time ever in the Conformation ring.

Storm, our younger pup, who we call tiny because of her small size as a puppy, is competing in conformation. At her first show at the end of 2006 she took a Best in Breed Novice Puppy and a second place ribbon. At the begining of 2007, she completed her titles as a Grand Champion and made it into the Best in Show ring for the second time taking home Reserve Best In Multi-Breed Show. We are so proud of our little girl.

Kona and Storm enjoy the fenced yard. They are continuously playing chase and running as fast as they can! Storm dominates fetch when the Frisbee comes out! She can get four at one time before Kona can get to one. Though I'm pretty sure Kona is simply being polite.

We have two birds, Mac and Ziggy, our lizard Jaws, and a few saltwater acquariums. Mac waves hi and blows kisses, and Ziggy has managed to beep like every appliance we own, including the coffee maker. It doesn't make a nice sound either.

We have been on some nice vacations, though it has been a while —the most recent was a trip to San Francisco (2006), where we picked up Storm and went to Sonoma Valley and Alcatraz. Before that we had a long layover in Madrid on our way to Egypt for a week. Both were beautiful places to visit, and we would definitely visit Egypt again somewhere down the road, to see the things we weren't able to in such a short time.
