I wrote a big long blog about moving the dogs to Hawaii and Kona's surgery update, but it was lost somehow. I haven't got time to recap right now, but I am hoping that if anyone has moving tips for…Continue

Bonnie and Kona replied to Jarka, Monty & Auggie's discussion Sneezing?"Oh my Doodle! Jarka! Of course he hasn't sneezed since making the appointment! It's like car troubles. When you get to the mechanic everything works perfectly. I'm so happy Monty is doing well!"

Bonnie and Kona replied to Bonnie and Kona's discussion Moving tips anyone?"Yes, it's quite overwhelming. My DH and I moved often but we're wondering if it gets harder when we're older or if we've just forgotten how hard it was!
We leave our house this week but do not fly to Hawaii until July 3&4.…"

Bonnie and Kona replied to Bonnie and Kona's discussion Moving tips anyone?"Thank you, Janie! We have great expectation for improved health. "
Bonnie and Kona replied to Bonnie and Kona's discussion Moving tips anyone?"That's a good idea. We keep telling them we are going to Hawaii and they will get the chance to go to the beach every day. They have been pouting the past couple of days as the chaos ramps up. Thank you for the reassurance."
Bonnie and Kona replied to Bonnie and Kona's discussion Moving tips anyone?"Our dogs smile more at the beach than anywhere else. They are going to be so happy.
So happy you and Jenn are getting together!"
Joanna, Zoe & Bender left a comment for Bonnie and Kona"Hi Bonnie! I went to your page to look at more pictures of Kona and Owen and noticed that we weren't friends! haha BTW why don't you have Owens name on your profile too? Is it because he's technically your daughters?"
Janie, Jackson and Jilly replied to Bonnie and Kona's discussion Moving tips anyone?"Great advise here! I can only wish you a smooth trip and transition! I do think that as long as Kona and Owen are with you, they will be happy! I can't wait for the note from you over in Hawaii telling us how great it all went! I wish…"
Jarka, Monty & Auggie replied to Bonnie and Kona's discussion Moving tips anyone?"Yes, we should be getting together for a BBQ on Saturday. It will be fun (unlike your move). But I know that you and the doodles will enjoy Hawaii. I have never been there, but I just know that my two would love all the beaches and water!"
Bonnie and Kona replied to Bonnie and Kona's discussion Moving tips anyone?"Thank you so much, Jarka! As the movers arrive at our house you will have Jenn visiting Colorado. I hope you two get to have some time together with Monty and Auggie. I remember your kindness to her when she was there last year. I think you are both…"
Profile Information
- What Type of Doodle(s) do you have? What are their names? Tell us about your doodle(s) or any other pets you have!
- We have an F1 English Goldendoodle, Kona.
We had researched Goldendoodles for several years and were intrigued by the idea of having the wonderful temperament of a Golden Retriever combined with less shedding. Kona has been a wonderful addition to our family. He has been the easiest dog to train due to his remarkable intelligence and eagerness to please. We are also pretty sure he speaks English fluently. His dam was a blue poodle and sire an English Golden Retriever. Kona is very gentle and calm. He does love to play but when he isn't involved in activities he is content to rest quietly. When asked to do so he obeys easily. Kona loves to fetch and is by far the best dog we have ever had at dropping the ball or toy for us. Amazing. Our other dogs seemed to believe the name of that game was Keep Away. Clearly a problem with the trainers (us) but Kona wants to play badly enough he brings the toy right back and drops it for more fun. We are thrilled to have a doodle.
On Oct 24, 2010 we picked out a new puppy from Kona's sire and a white poodle dam to give to our DD who lives with us. Owen is cream with apricot "highlights".
- Where did you get your doodle(s)?

- My husband runs Kona 3-5 miles 4-5 times a week. Kona loves to fetch inside and outside. He cuddles on the bed but doesn't sleep with us. I enjoy brushing and grooming him and checking his feet after his runs. It's great bonding time for us. Kona and Owen are a riot to watch as they wrestle and play. Both fetch and have fun.

Kona's tail -- CUT SHORT
Posted on May 15, 2013 at 5:00pm 266 Comments 1 Favorite
Several weeks ago I noticed Kona had a sore on his tail. It got to be the size of an almond with a black dot in the center. I took him to the vet. A new vet I had never seen before put him on a course of antibiotics. When the 10 day course finished the wound looked the same.
My regular vet saw him this time and…

Our DS and DDIL had baby number three on Friday. Here is Evan Michael. We are smitten! Our granddaughter is 6 and seems to believe this baby is all hers. No one gets to hold him if she is around. It's so cute! Their 4 year old is sweet and gentle but not obsessed. Just had to show off our new baby...…
Moving

We are planning to move from California to Hawaii in June. We were there for a two week vacation/business trip to determine if this would work out for us and the answer is decidedly, "Yes".
My DD and I have chronic daily migraines. Hers are significantly worse than mine. For almost five years she has been unable to work or even live on her own due to daily excruciating pain. For some reason we both feel better in Hawaii. It just so happens that the company my DH works for has a…

UPDATE:
We have regrouped and now Owen is under new management.
1. He is no longer allowed on the step as pictured below. We figured out he uses it to enforce his dominance... he wouldn't move for people or Kona to go up or down the steps. I don't know why we never figured that out before... guess it has to do with cuteness.

Lonnie & Libby Lu said… Thanks Bonnie! It is so nice to be friends with you on this amazing site! I will be praying and thinking about you and your family, especially your daughter during this transition time! I'm sure it will all go well and in no time you will be in the beautiful state of Hawaii! I must say I am a little jealous:)

Ricki and Tara (doodle) said… Oh Bonnie! I'm so sorry! Reading this just makes me want to weep along with you.Too much on the plate girl!! :) I'm so glad you had the opportunity to spend some quality time with your mom. What a treat it must have been for her too.
WTD? They couldn't give Mike time off to move??? Is the business moving you? I certainly hope so, it makes it soooo much easier. But I know there are still things you have to do either way.
Now, about that Kona boy!!!! What the heck??? For such a good boy he's turning out to be a terrible patient! i'm just sick about his tail being raw, I was so hoping as I know you were that the tail business would be behind you by moving time. Hopefully that new cone will do the trick. It's hard to outwit, outplay and outlast these doodles! LOL
I'm hoping to be able to starting taking iron again in a few weeks. Keep your fingers crossed! Thanks for asking!
I hope once you get to Hawaii you will have some time to unwind and relax. :)

Jennifer and Jack said… I can not imagine how she is handling this... Someone who is in chronic severe pain and still holding their wits about them is just about the hardest thing. I don't suffer with pain hardly ever and if I do it is short lived. What Jennie is enduring literally hurts my heart.... I wish I had the money I would send her to Hawaii right now and let her stay there until the house is ready... I am so, so, sorry she is hurting so badly. I can only pray for relief. I am just so sorry.. I can't imagine as a mom what it would be like to see your daughter suffer, also, I know you suffer with them as well.. I just can't wait for you to get to Hawaii... I am praying so hard.. I am supposed to be cleaning my house today, as I clean I will be sending my prayers for relief for her... So much love to you my friend....
