Hi Molly:  It's been a long time now,almost a year and a half since we were last in contact, I'm 76 and Hoku turned 3 last August 2, how time flies.

I was computerless for a while until a good friend gave me a lovely new lap-top last September  and am only now catching up with old friends such as you, Jim, Kanga and Tinkerbell (Roo).

Still haven't mastered the art of down-loading photos from my camera, printing, sending same but hopefully one of these days some one will take pity on me and show me how it's done, having been born before computers were more than a science fiction fantasy.  Electric type-writers were the "In Thing" then, along with automatic automobiles, only women-drivers also "new kids on the block" would drive ONE OF THOSE as no self-respecting man would be caught dead driving anything other than a stick shift.  Any-way once I've mastered the art of sending photos will forward same so that you can see those four-pawed beings that keep me young? or more or less sane!

Hoku still loves her squeaky toys, thank-you for naming her for me, is as mischievious as ever, hopefully that will never change, and as for the rest of my 'Motely Crew' they're always morwe than ready to join in her fun and games. 

Love to all, Lorna.

Hi Molly: I certainly do remember Hokulani means Heavenly Star and it fits in perfectly with her Great Grandmothers nick-name Grey Ghost, commonly known as 'Minty', and her mother's nick-name 'Silver Shadow' commonly known as Iona, while wee Hokulani Gets Hoku. I've bred Yorkies for thirty years, and thought her immediate family, Minty, Islay, Grand-mother, Dad, Little Man, and Mum were smartest of the bunch, BUT HOKU?!!!!she's more mischievous, full of beans, and can run circles round the others when it comes to escaping any form of confinement, unless locked in! She's taught them how to open louvered doors between OUR BED-ROOM (Yorkies PERMIT me to share it AND THE BED), and bathroom, then the other louvered door leading down a short hall to main part of house, and from there to the front porch, IF Door leading onto porch is left ajar, even as little as an inch or two, Finally by using combined weight of Five Yorkies (Twenty-Five pounds in total) push open screen door leading to side yard and VOILA FREEDOM!!!!! and folk wonder why my hair is WHITE!!!! Can't blame itentirely on reaching 75 years of age, last April 12! Would I change a single thing about my almost TERRIBLE TWO YEAR OLD? NEVER!!!! She and her family co-horts are whatmkepp me young, and make life worth living. Love to you and James, tummy rubs, cuddles and all their favourite things to Kanga and Tinks . By the way do either of them like 'Squeaky Toys?' Hoku loves them and is rarely seen when running around the house with-out one in her mouth happily squeaking it as she goes! Lorna

Sorry Molly,
I know what its like to lose a good friend, my dog of 13 yrs.
My own brother died, and I cried more for my dog than I did for my brother.
Sounds harsh but its true..
Grieve for as long as you need to, then go out & get another dog, because you have love to give to a new puppy.

Molly,
So sorry about your loss. We have lost 7 dogs in the last 8 years & each one hurts as bad as the one before but there are always so many rescues looking for a great home. God Bless, Carolyn

So sorry to hear about Cyrus. You have my prayers for sure. Maybe he will be lucky enough to meet my angel NIKKI GIRL, up there. Please let your friend know about www.griefworthy.ning.com and www.griefworthy.com. She will find comfort and healing there.

hi Molly,
i am so sorry for your loss. i just lost my baby on july 20th, his name is Coal. he is the love of my life and i just don't know how to live without him.

Hi Molly,
I use a product called "Eye Clear" which seems to help with Ceili's below the eye stains. It's an eye drop, but I've never used it that way, have just applied it externally. It's the only product I've found for eye stains that doesn't carry the warning "not to get in the dog's eyes". To be able to do that would be one neat trick!!
Also, I just loved the video of you and Kanga. Thank you for sharing it with all of us, your huge "extended family".
