Here’s a modest counterweight to all the dismal and disturbing news greeting us on this Friday morning.

Introducing Gidget and Moondoggie, two more of our Kahala Morning Dogs,

Ms. Gidget, on the right, lives down near the corner where our street dead-ends at Kahala Avenue. She has part-time work as a therapy dog, making regular hospital visits. We don’t see her frequently, so it’s a treat when we do run into her in the morning.

And recently she got an adopted brother from “Down Under”.

He was aptly named Moondoggie. That’s him with the bright red harness showing.

You’ll have to look it up if you don’t know where those names come from.

Right now, Moondoggie is still very much a puppy, all happy and jumpy and chewy, but slowly learning to get it all under control, at least on occasion. But what a pair they are!
