Dear Dave,
Many of us have little or big furry
family members who make our lives more
enjoyable and bring us unconditional
love daily. A week ago we (the royal
we) celebrated
National Dog Day, which is the
world's first holiday to celebrate all
the great things dogs do for us and to
promote adoption. Of
course, since we have had Ralphie in our
lives for the past 2 years, every day is
Dog Day at our house.
When I was
driving in northern Arizona in late
July, I saw a dog running down the
deserted road near 4 Corners (where
Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah
meet). Well it was 40C outside so I
just had to turn the car around and coax
this skinny dog (a Blue Heeler?) into my
car. He was hungry and covered in dirt
and bugs, but well mannered. He had no
collar, so I used my belt as a
make-shift leash/collar. I called my
sister and she knew of shelter that
would take him. Instead of driving to
Utah, I drove the 5 hours back to my
sisters cabin in Heber-Overgaard where
we gave "Corners" (my name for him) a
long bath, and gave him lots of food and
water.
Since
neither of us were able to adopt
Corners, my sister eventually
surrendered him to the
Overgaard Animal Clinic which
serves as the local no-kill animal
shelter. We both followed up weekly as
to Corners progress. The staff let us
know that Corners got "fixed", got
healthy quickly and has a great
temperament. As soon as he was ready, I
was thrilled to find out that he was
adopted by a great family, who had
adopted from the Clinic/animal shelter
before. A great happy ending for
Corners!
Enjoy!

Honua Kai Resort &
Spa - Updates
|
In order to
keep Honua Kai Resort & Spa one of the top
rated properties on Maui, from time to
time we need to do some "refreshing."
Right now the infinity pool at the
Hokolani building is being refinished.
This update should be completed this Fall
and does not affect the other two pools
large on the property. Guests are still
able to enjoy these other pools that
feature a water slide, "quite zone" as
well as lots of little corners to relax
in.
Also, there is construction going on at
our neighbors to the South of us. While
we don't have any control over this
daytime noise, or know exactly how long it
will last, we are keeping most guests away
from this distraction to the usual
serenity of Honua Kai.
