You can stare into your dog’s eyes, trying to look into his soul, and just see eyes. You hear that Labradors are smart; sometimes you see it for yourself.

Koa has toys, some of which squeek.

I called the first one “Squeeky” and Kona and I played with him often. He looks like a purple alien (Squeeky, not Koa :-). A few months ago, Sandra gave Koa a new squeeky toy, which I named “Squeeky Two” or “Squeeky Too”. I got the pun, I am not sure Koa did.

A couple of days ago I got Koa another squeeky toy which I called “The Squeekster”. It is alot like Squeeky, but different. He seems to like The Squeekster the most at the moment, but of course, that might change. Dogs are like that.

I also got Kona a bone shaped toy with is two tennis balls shaped like a bone. He likes it, but not as much as the other squeeky toys.

So I am on the bed and Koa comes with The Squeekster. We play for a while and I hide The Squeekster and Koa frantically looks for him. In one game I decided not to give The Squeekster back right away. Koa waited and tried, to no avail. He finally ran into the livingroom and I heard him turn and head back to the bedroom. He jumped on the bed and layed down next to me. HE chewed a bit on the toy but then I noticed he was pushing it towards me. As I reached to move the bone I released my grip on The Squeekster. In seconds Koa grabbed The Squeekster and tore off with it.

This is one creative dog. Too bad his Master isn’t as creative (at least with names of toys).

On a different topic, I finally started putting some photos online that are related to some of my previous blogs. I will create an album when I get more time, but at least I have the photos up for now. Also, I will start linking directly to them. You can see them at http://blog.itskona.com

On yet another topic, I have the trench on the farm dug and the bed of sand in the bottom. I have the “dozer” guy punching holes for coffee trees. I also am trying to get the pipes fused together and the concrete base laid for the water pump. I’ll get more photos posted soon!
