Kona Arke

April 1, 2008- August 30, 2021
A.k.a- “Kona Girl, Baby Kona, Old Lady, Haole Girl, Kones, Connor”

Kona came into her family’s lives at just eight weeks old, uncle Dean’s dog had a litter of puppies and after some convincing Dad decided to bring home a special box. Inside of this box laying on a pillow was a bright blue eyed, tiny blonde puppy! Their family was taken by surprise but everyone was in love, especially their 6 year old daughter who had always wanted one.

In her early years, Kona was a rascal! She would be on high alert waiting for even the slightest crack in the front door to dart out as quickly as she could, engaging her family in a 20-minute game of tag that she’d always win until she was ready for a drink of water or a little rest. Kona made the most of her toys, even the toughest wouldn’t last more than a few days in her house. She loved to rough house with her people too! Playing hide and seek, zooming up and down the stairs, wrestling around and occasionally leaving her family with a few love scratches that were all made in good fun.

Among her favorite tricks, Kona was very familiar with handshakes. No matter the question or command, she would offer a handshake and hope that’s what you were going for! Kona knew the power of her cuteness. She loved eating human food, especially meat so when her family was enjoying dinner- she knew where to sit and who to stare at in hopes that someone would cave in and share a piece.

She loved being at the beach where she could run and play for hours, coming home with the sweetest tired face ready to get some good peaceful rest. Kona was an amazing and memorable part of the Smith-Arke family, and their days and lives were made richer by having her to greet them at the start and end of each day. She is deeply missed, and forever loved by her Mom, Dad, sister Kehau, friends Hunter and Jessica, bestest friend Keanu, as well as her furfriends Kaia and Kalea.

Dr. Kim Berran

May 5, 2005- December 4, 2021
A.k.a- “Kim Kim”

The Berran family picked up an 8 week old Shih-Tzu in Pennsylvania after deciding it was time to get a sibling for their first born furbaby, Mozart. They named him Dr. Kim to add onto their family tree to reflect their family member’s occupation, he has even received a professional courtesy from a veterinarian acknowledging his status! Kim Kim’s most favorite meal was Hawaiian Sweet Bread Rolls, and he loved hunting his stuffed frog and praying bear toys. In his younger years, he loved to run and bark at other dogs. Up until the time the neighbor’s dogs got unleashed and came to confront him, that was the day he appeared to have lost his confidence!

Dr. Kim was smart, when his family moved homes they realized he was no where to be found. After checking the old house, there he was sitting on the porch letting them know he would miss his old stomping grounds. He loved to hog all the toys, and the bed too! Dr. Kim inspired a new custom bed set up of fitting two beds together to ensure enough space.

Though Dr. Kim was too busy with his medical practice to learn new tricks, there’s some pretty impressive footage of him singing along to “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” with his sister! Dr. Kim also had an affectionate side, he was known to fall asleep with his human sister and use his dog brother Aizen as a pillow. He would also tend to his family’s wounds if they were hurt or not feeling well. Dr. Kim himself was a fighter and always showed a strong will to live, his vibrant presence and soft fur are so wonderfully missed. He is loved and remembered by Philip (human Father); Mi Yong (human Mother); MiYeong (human sister); Aizen (dog brother); Mozart (dog brother); Sunshine (dog step-sister); and Princess (dog cousin).

Banjo Cope

a.k.a. “Bunny”
March 26, 2013- June 7, 2021

Banjo was the member of the Cope family who kept them on their toes! He got his name from the way his big ears would flop around as he ran, similarly to the way a banjo is played. Banjo was an intelligent guy with personality for days, his challenging and complicated traits paled in comparison to the joy and laughter he brought to his family. He was best known for his Superman dive, beginning in a giant leap with his arms and legs stretched far out and ending in an epic belly flop! Banjo couldn’t get enough of his boys, tennis balls, the ocean, beach and nature days, toys that squeak, lizards, and Runt the chihuahua. He is so missed and will forever be loved and cherished by his family and friends.

“We love you Bunny. Forever & ever -Dad, Mumma, Kika, Kellan, Siggy, NiNi” 

Pi’ilani Curtis

October 2017- November 2021
A.k.a- “Pi’i”

After becoming new home-owners in 2007, the Curtis ‘ohana decided it was time to adopt a dog of their own to grow along side their young daughter Amber-Lei. Sharmaine came to check out the Waianae animal shelter and left with a 6-week-old pit-bull terrier named Pi’ilani!

Pi’i quickly became a beloved family member and was the best of friend to all her people. She enjoyed wrestling with Larry, had been caught rough housing with her pup pals and a stuffed bunny, and once even managed to get her face wedged in a doggy bone box making for the perfect photo opportunity. She figured out how to open their front yard gate so it needed to be tied instead, and she even managed to slip out and find her own mate across the street back when her family was considering making her mama!

Pi’ilani was a fighter, and even as she slowed-down she still loved to hang out with her people in the living room. They decided to put up the Christmas lights early for Pi’i to see one last time, and the following morning she passed. Pi’ilani means gift from God or ascent from Heaven, a fitting name as that is exactly what she meant to her family. She is forever loved and wonderfully remembered by Larry, Sharmaine, Shaylene, Amber-Lei, and Elijah.

Kayla Dettloff

July 19, 2012- February 18, 2021

Kayla was the second golden to come into the Dettloff family. She was loved by everyone she met, even her kitty siblings (gasp!). She was smart and beautiful and kind and even with all of the trophies and ribbons she earned, her family treasured her sweet smile above all and wanted nothing more than to share in her abundance of happiness. She was a prolific food thief, known for stealing food right out from under someone and leaving not even a crumb! Her favorite treats were french fries and of course, the forbidden fruit, cat food. She would carry a stuffed animal around in her mouth and knew how to get the newspaper in the morning. Her many accomplishments include “Best Trick” at Art’s Obedience class and “Most photogenic” at Poi Dogs West Oahu Pet Walk.

 Kayla shared her love without discernment, her 2 mommies and her kitty friends will miss her dearly as well as Elijah and Ariah.

Koko’olua Dowson

a.k.a. “Koko”
May 18, 2011- April 13, 2021

Koko’olua, meaning “companion” was just that to her mama, papa, and adopted sister Liliko’i. Koko was adopted from the Hawaiian Humane Society in 2017 along with her sister Lili after their family lost their kitty and felt things were getting a little quiet around the house. She was affectionate and playful, offering TLC while always keeping her family on their toes with her playful antics! Koko loved to sneak into her kitty tunnels and ambush Lili as she walked by. There were even moments that she was found cleaning and licking her sister, but almost always followed by a bop on the head and fleeing the scene!

During quarantine, Koko found herself enjoying watching nature shows and keeping her mama company while she completed puzzles. One of Koko’s favorite toys were her parent’s foam ear plugs, if you were to toss one up, she would catch it mid-air. She even knew where to find them in mom’s nightstand for easy access – mom needed those! Koko’s family Gail, Gaylord, and Liliko’i miss her dearly and are grateful for all the cuddles, laughs, and memories.

Dexter Henderson

Our Precious & Beautiful Dexter (aka: TT, Titi Dexter, Dexterina, monster, muñequin chin chin)
Came and exited our lives with the same gentle spirit & regal personality

August 21, 2015- September 9, 2021

Dexter loved being in the outdoors where she hunted geckos & sun bathed; she would run back to the house when called “TT”, and had an obsession with being brushed that always made us laugh…whenever she saw the brush, she dropped anything she was doing for a nice brushing.
She had been a stray in her previous life before she stole our hearts in 2015 & domesticated herself nicely to the indoor-outdoor pet life. We named her Dexter, not knowing she was a girl…the name stuck & we kept it even after finding out her gender. To say Dexter will be missed is an understatement…our dear and sweet TT Dexter was the best kitty and she will always be with us in loving memory.
We feel honored that you choose us to be your humans….thank you for all your love.

Love you Dexty,

“time to fly”
mom & dad Valerie & Shaun, and her “abuellita” Lizbeth.

Kiki Jacobs

November 16, 2004 – December 4, 2021
A.k.a- “Keeksters, Keeks”

Lisa adopted Kiki on November 16, 2007 from the local Humane Society. She previously came from the Humane Society in Kauai where they named her “Honey Girl,” not knowing her original name. After not responding to Honey Girl, Katherine thought it would be nice to name her Kiki! Always excited to greet her family, Kiki would happily peak through the blinds, anxious to greet them. Though she was small, she was fierce! Kiki was known to lead during group hikes, keeping Lisa in shape. She also had super strong legs, and when she was excited, she would stand up on her hind legs! Kiki once even managed to hop their 5ft fence and almost landed in their neighbor’s yard. Kiki always had her family laughing, especially when she would entice David to play with her, only to decide to roll on her back instead. She was smart and had excellent hearing; so all she needed was the sound of her leash to know it was time for her morning walk! She enjoyed tasty dog or human treats, but mostly stuck to her regular dog food.

To give back to the Hawaiian Humane Society for introducing them, Lisa and Kiki volunteered at various events, such as the Pet Walk in the Fall and the Blessing of Animals Celebration. Kiki and Lisa joined a group dog obedience training course, where they enjoyed seeing all the progression made by both them and the others attending. During their end assessment, Kiki and Lisa received an honorable mention. They used their new abilities and skills to become a pet therapy team for Hospice Hawai’i, serving most often at the Kailua residence facility. Over the years, Kiki provided support as a pet therapy dog, helping dozens of patients and their families during critical times in their lives. The staff also became particularly fond of her, playing with her on their breaks and offering treats! Lisa remembers a time there was a patient who stopped talking to humans but upon seeing Kiki, spent about 45 minutes petting her, while she patiently sat, appreciating the love- a touching moment that helps begin to describe the magic of Kiki.

It has been one of life’s sweeter blessings to have Kiki a part of Lisa’s world for over 14 years. Lisa shared, “Kiki helped bring out the best in me, and I believe that my loving human-dog bond with Kiki significantly contributed to my strong commitment to serving the community at large. Kiki was one very loved dog and is dearly missed. I will cherish the beautiful memories I shared with Kiki for the rest of my life.”

Wonderfully remembered and forever loved by all, especially- Lisa Wong Jacobs, David Jacobs, Katherine Jacobs, Jessica Jacobs, Alex Wong, Kendric Wong, canine Dino Wong, Carolyn Wong, Sandra Spurgeon, Ryder Spurgeon, Ray Santo, Edison Santo, canine Fluffy Santo, and Carolyn Santo.

Wringo Kane

a.k.a. “Bubba”
May 22, 2007- March 17, 2021

Wringo was a promised gift and came into the Kane family at just 6 weeks old. Lilybeth decided to name him after Ringo Star, but his adorable head wrinkles gave him the added “W”! As a puppy, Wringo, also known as Bubba and Old Boy – wouldn’t bark, but instead made funny cat noises. He was pretty shy at first, but it wasn’t long before he accepted his new family and a family member was exactly what he became. Wringo loved to open his gifts on Christmas! As a puppy he loved chasing leaves, playing fetch with the wind gusts. He was Lilia’s shadow, especially during her meal time but some of his personal favorites were Kalua pig, roasted chicken, peanut butter, cheese, yogurt, and cookies! Yum! He was a silly boy who would pop bubbles and eat rocks, but in his older age he appreciated his view of the neighborhood and would relax by the front door. He loved to give hugs! Especially group ones, making sure to get in between mom and dad when they went in for an embrace! Wringo was a strong guy who impressed everyone with his strength after becoming ill with tumors and given caution to what signs to look for as far as quality of life. He survived for another 3 years! Lilybeth, Lilia, Jim and Jorge think back on the amazing 14 years they had with Wringo and are filled with gratitude. Bubba remains so loved, and so missed.

Ginger Kinsler

a.k.a. “Lil G” 
October 16, 2016- February 9, 2021

Ginger came to her family at 6 months old. She was truly meant to be with her family because when they went to the breeders to find an Australian Shepherd puppy, Ginger was the only dog left! 

Call it fate, call it luck she became a very beloved member of her family. She was always the sweetest little rascal. She would steal butter right off the counter and would “borrow” whole bags of chips to take outside, for “investigative purposes”. She also loved diced chicken and pistachio shells if the bird dropped them for her. Ginger would jump over the end of her parent’s bed just to be with them and to watch the world through the window. She was a gentle and sweet soul who enjoyed being pet and playing ball and going for walks. She was a particular terror to the cats of the neighborhood but she was a terror with a very sweet face!

Ginger left us too soon, she will be remembered and loved by JC, Liz, Joe, Jessie and Grandma who hope she has found peace over the rainbow bridge.

Rocco Knowlton

a.k.a. “Big Toc, Rocco Taco, The Big Dog”
April 21, 2010- April 26, 2021

Despite having the cutest face ever, Rocco had quite the little attitude! His parents report that he liked to “talk trash”, talking back to his mom when she told him it wasn’t meal time and talking trash to his dad while he was working out.

His favorite foods were… foods that his family was eating (and ice cubes)! He would wait at his victim’s feet and wait for a bite using that big ol’ sweet face to his advantage. He was always ready to give a high five or play fetch with his football and he was especially great at convincing his parents to lather his bald spot with some sunscreen and head out to the beach. 

Rocco will be forever loved and missed by his Dad, his Mama and Missa, his doggie sister. They will especially miss his frequent cuddles and his epic couch napping abilities. Rest with love sweet Rocco <3.

Merlin Perez

a.k.a “Merly, Angel Pie, Neko Chan, Pinche Gato”
2006- 2021

Merlin got his name because he was a tiny black kitty who seemed to have cast a spell on his new mama. Little did she know, the real magic was in the 16 years of companionship that he would provide her.  Merly, Angel Pie, Neko Chan, Pinche Gato – Merlin had many nicknames and wore many hats. A fur baby and a friend, Merlin would prove to be a warm shoulder to lean on and a solace during times of adversity. When he first came into his mama’s life, he would visit one of her patients who had to surrender their cat upon being admitted to the nursing home she worked for. Merlin was staying with family when his mom spent some time deployed in Afghanistan, she came home to a huge leaping hug from her sweet boy. During times of unimaginable circumstances Merlin was a constant. His lovable side was accompanied by a silly streak! Playing hide and seek or stalking you behind a door. He once even got tapped by a celebratory champagne cork! His mom made sure to point it away from him and at the last minute he jumped up getting tapped by the cork on his behind! He was also notorious for stealing his grandma’s bathmat suction fish and piling them downstairs by the door. Merlin loved his catnip stuffed toys, cheesecake batter, and Temptation’s cat treats! This well-traveled, amazing kitty had been by his mom’s side through the beginning stages of some of life’s biggest events. Stephanie is both grateful for Merlin, and to him. He is so wonderfully remembered by all – especially Stephanie, Chris, Theo, Samantha, his grandparents, and dog sister Lana.  

JJ Roscoe

a.k.a. “Big Buddy” 
2005-2021

JJ was adopted from the Hawaiian Humane Society in 2005 and he quickly charmed  his new family with his unique and charming personality. He sometimes acted more like a dog than a kitty, mingling with humans during parties without fear. In his later years he also took on an endearing grumpy old man persona. He would grunt and pace when hungry or meow in a cranky way just to make sure everyone knew what kind of mood he was in.

He had a sweetheart side as well though. When his sister Lucy was adopted he tried to put up a rough front but couldn’t quite keep it up and soon became best buds with the little Calico kitten. She latched onto him (literally) from that day on, he even let her attempt to nurse on him, despite being a macho guy cat (don’t worry JJ, your secret’s safe with us). He just seemed to sense that she needed that comfort and from then on they slept cuddled together like the best of friends.

JJ’s favorite foods were ALL foods. He loved chasing a cat treat across the floor and especially enjoyed the occasional Nacho Cheese Dorito (Lucy preferred ranch). When he was younger he could even be persuaded to stand up on his hind legs and “box”. Occasionally he would play fetch, bringing back a toy mouse to the thrower’s feet.

JJ will be missed by many but most especially by Chris and Lucy, his best buds.

Chiko Sakata

January 3, 2003- May 15, 2021

While flipping through the local newspaper, Steph’s mom found an adorable Maltese/Shih tzu for sale. Their family instantly fell in love upon their first introduction. They wanted a Japanese name and decided on Chiko which translates to rascal, Chiko made sure to live up to his name! He was a lover when it came to his family, and a fighter when it came to his health. He loved going to the beach, hanging out with papa, and keeping daddy company while mommy was away for work. Steak and bones were on the top of his preferred meal list, and he gave himself a nice backrub on the carpet after he ate! He had many toys, and to show how much he appreciated them he would be sure to remove every single one from his crate leaving a huge mess for mom when she came home from trips! Chiko is loved and missed by all – especially Steph, Conrad, Karen, Stacy, Dustin, Maiya, Mochi, Peter, Sandy, & Nicki. 

Booster Sojot

2009-2021
A.k.a- “Boo, BooBoo, Booster Rooster”

Booster was a friend to all who crossed his path, a gentle guy who came into his family’s lives at 3 years old. He was living with a growing family who was looking for a loving forever home, Jan saw their ad on craig’s list and decided to meet him. Booster jumped right into our car and into our hearts! We were so excited! Well, everyone except Amy’s cat Blink… Blink wasn’t as excited to share HIS space, so he made sure Booster was well-aware that Amy’s room was off limits. Other than that, Blink would act like he could barely tolerate Booster. However, they were regularly caught napping together on Jan and Arthur’s bed- caught in a moment of shared rest and relaxation.

Booster’s first time at the beach was less than ideal for him as he dragged his toes in the sand to avoid going into the ocean! After a slow introduction, it became his most favorite place in the world. It got to the point where he learned the word “beach”, in an attempt to outsmart him his family would spell it out. It wasn’t long before Booster figured that out too! He even understood the difference between Arthur’s swim shorts and regular shorts and beach towel versus bath towels. He’d follow whomever he thought would get in the car first (with him!). During his time in the ocean, he loved chasing crabs and flopping on his back with all fours in the air wiggling in excitement. Booster loved being held in the ocean like a baby! When he got too big (and HEAVY), his family set him up on floating noodles and he’d cruise in the water while watching his people. When his family started packing up to head home, he couldn’t bear the goodbye. He figured if he went into the ocean and stared at the horizon long enough, they’d change their minds and decide to stay forever.

Though Booster was smart and got an A+ in Dog Training school, he wasn’t interested in learning tricks other than turning in a circle before heading into the water. He would only roll over for our granddaughter Kona, after she spent a long time working with him! Booster loved ALL food! Especially dog ice cream or any special treats like the “pup-a-cinos” Matthew got him after time spent at the beach. He had a nose for bacon and could hear the second a package of cheese was being opened!

Booster was silly, loving, intelligent, loyal, sensitive and will forever be missed by his family. Especially Arthur, Jan, their children and grandchildren.

Max Thurston

2005- 2021
A.k.a- “Maxie, Smackie, Puppers”

A family beach day turned into adoption day for the Thurston ‘ohana after being gifted a poi puppy who the kids decided to name Max. Max was a lover of the ocean and enjoyed swimming and canoe surfing, he also loved chasing birds and burying anything he could get his mouth on! His family always suspected that he ate his toys, but they continue to find them buried along with full bags of chips and other snacks.

Max was super smart- he could tell from left to right, loved to high five, and even managed to take himself for regular walks to visit his favorite dog on the next block at his leisure. Even into his old age, he preferred to lead during walks. During his last week with his family, they figured it would be safe to leave Max unattended with a wheel of cheese but came back to the room to find him scarfing down the last bit of evidence!

Maxie was goofy, smart, and will forever be loved by “Kiki, Ollie, and Kimo- the kids he grew up with… and Eryan and Jim, the parents he got old with.” 

Saimin Tompkins

May 25, 2005- October 28, 2021
A.k.a- “Sai”

“Mr. Dan”, my late husband, who passed away 7 months ago, was Saimin’s beloved pack leader, and she was his little soldier! 

Dan had been hoping to have a dog since our last one passed away, so he was delighted when Dusty, our dear friends’ longhaired dachshund, had four puppies, Saimin came to us when she was nine weeks old – we think she was the smartest and the cutest!  Remembering his childhood dog Noodle (also a dachshund), Dan wanted to name the new puppy Noodle, but in Hawaiian. After a long search, we learned that Hawaiian had no word for noodle, so Hawai’i’s famous noodle dish, Saimin, was the next best thing. Everyone loved her and her name!

Dan was a long-distance runner, so Saimin used to run five miles on Sundays.  After, she and Dan would go to the beach where Saimin soaked herself in the ocean, and then rolled around in sand.  With her long hair, she looked like a sandy hedgehog!  We had to jump aside when she started to shake that salty sand off her fur. 

My fondest memory (from so many) is of her praying before dinner.  We had a special pillow on which she would rest her front paws and head when dinnertime approached, readying herself for dinner!

Though we all loved her, Saimin was truly Dan’s dog, his little soldier. She waited by the door for Dan to return home whenever he was out.  These last seven months, she has continued to wait for him! I truly hope Dan and Saimin are reunited happily now.  I am sure they are looking after me as they did in this world! I love you, Saimin!  

Caliber Turner 

a.k.a. “Big Girl, Big C, Angel Baby”
July 7, 2008- March 27, 2021

Caliber was adopted by her family from an animal shelter at just five weeks old, after the mother was unable to continue caring for the litter. A timid and shy pup, her ironic shelter name stuck. When she arrived at her new home she was just a tiny ball of fur, with barely a snout, just a little round face. She loved to curl up on a slipper to sleep, a habit that stuck even to the end. She was often found asleep with her head on a slipper or sandal.

Behind her sweet face, Caliber had a mischievous and intelligent mind.  While potty training, she learned that going outside earned her a treat, so she quickly began going to the door and fake squatting in the yard to get her treat. She was also an accomplished popcorn thief, trotting into the kitchen if she heard the microwave popping and expertly sneaking a piece or two. She loved snuggling with her people and would come running if someone got out a blanket.

Caliber was a frequent flier and wonderful companion, accompanying her family to Germany, Korea, and Hawaii, in addition to states on the mainland. She was an expert explorer, and took her time meandering on walks, sniffing everything and taking in the scenery. Whether trotting through the woods, surveying rice paddy fields, or smelling the gardens in the countryside, she was happy to remind her people to slow down and enjoy the surroundings. Her presence will be greatly missed on the next adventure. She was deeply loved and will be missed by many, most of all by Rachel, Jeff and her sister Kevlar.

Hershey Kisses Williamson

February 18, 2007- October 7, 2021
A.k.a- “Hersh”

When Lynette’s Apricot toy poodle of 15 years passed away, she just knew her next fur baby would be a Chocolate Poodle. Especially since that was her first dog at age 13! Originally, she wanted a male, but meeting her Hershey girl was love at first sight and she had to have her. Growing up near Hershey, PA she couldn’t possibly think of a better name for a Chocolate Poodle. 

Hershey was strong, independent, and very curious! She loved to cuddle especially at night. She was fabulous during her move here to Hawai’i, and so engaged throughout the entire process from start to finish. Many find moving and traveling to be stressful, not Hershey! She was intrigued and excited by the airports, and the mirrored entry wall at the LA hotel.

Hershey loved her small reindeer toy who unfortunately got her antlers chewed off years ago, poor Rudi! Chicken was her favorite food, and she loved to get into trouble following her big brother Hansberry. Especially while exploring their big yard in PA! 

Hershey was the 5th Poodle in Lynette’s life and remains so loved. She will miss her sweet cuddles and the sound of her snoring and snoozing away next to her. She is now with her brother Hansberry over the rainbow bridge, at peace and forever playing. 

She is so wonderfully remembered by all, especially- Lynette, Lesley, Lori, Deb, Nate and Rachel.

Primo Yokotake

A.k.a- “Preems, PrimPrim”
December 1, 2009- August 30, 2021

The Yokotake family found Primo in a Craigslist ad back in 2012. Their last dog, Dusty, had passed just 2 weeks prior and their house felt quiet and sad after having had dogs brighten it for the past 16 years. They lucked out in finding Primo almost as much as he lucked out in finding him. The family met his previous owner in the park that same day and took Primo straight home with them. He was just what they needed and he became a valuable and loving member of the Yokotake family from that day forward. 

Primo acted like a gentleman (who was always down for a cuddle) throughout his years. He did not show the typical “dog behaviors” like shredding shoes, getting into the trash and getting nasty in the yard. He developed a wonderful bond with his humans, especially his dad Glenn, and while he was always down to tussle with his doggy brothers and friends, he also enjoyed meeting every human he could find and sharing his doggy smile and love. 

Primo always had one ear listening for that tell-tale rustle of plastic bags in the kitchen. He was hoping especially for his favorites: bagels, sweet bread and yogurt but would also settle for chicken and steak, in a pinch. One of his most impressive skills was always picking the blue toy out of every bunch. He had a cuddle toy- a blue elephant, a favorite water toy- his orange Kong Wubba, and  favorite yard toy- red and yellow soft tennis balls that he would frequently shred to pieces. He was also particularly skilled in catch and tearing sheets, though the latter was never quite as appreciated as he might have hoped. Primo also learned to surf, he swam out to Glenn one day during a surf session and rode the waves with him since that first try.

Primo leaves Glenn, Dayle, Dylan, Chase and doggie brother Kela on this side of the rainbow bridge. They especially miss his infamous cuddles and he will always be close to their hearts.
