Pups in the Wind and Other Hawaiian Oddities.

It is windy on the Big Island.

Really windy, at times. And we are on Kohala Mountain, so sometimes the makani can take over our lives as we batten down the hatches, the puppies and the kittens.

Bad hair day for both of us!

The makani affects all of your senses, not just your hair. You can hear its live presence in this video of puppies running:

When the wind finally dies down, we all venture back on the lanai.

Loves me some coconut!

The puppies discovered my plants and a couple of them picked my peppers. Here Lani discovers she has taste buds. Her taste buds discover the pepper she picked is spicy!

Hmmmm.....I'm not too sure what to make of this.

 Here is a video where you can see the entire experience:

Lil Blue didn't like the pepper either. She prefers to soak her tootsies in the 

water bowl.

That hot lava rock is rough on my puppy pads...

Where'd the water go?

The puppies do enjoy that water bowl. Here we see them belly up to it for a long drink.

Jammy is sweet the way she lets her sibling in for a sip.

Here the puppies hang on the lanai together, hoping it is close to dinner time!

I can just taste that kibble!

They spend some time exploring the fields. How many puppies do you see?

Keep lookin! There's more than you think!

 And then, of course, there is the necessary resting!

These puppy toes are for you, lil sis!

And chewing....

I feel like a farmer with this grass between my teeth!

And cuddling....

Lil' babies are getting as big as me!

And playing collectively with their first chew stick. Thank you Auntie Aimee!





I promised oddities and in case I didn't deliver, here is the oddest of the oddities of the week.

Hawaiian drive through pizza, now with a dine in option!
