Our family is Complete!

DUKE'S HOME!!! :)

We left AZ on Wed. Jan, 6th to head back to Hawaii with Duke! I was so nervous the entire time worrying how he was doing down in cargo. We went through a bit of turbulence and I really started to worry that he would be FREAKING out. I leaned that I was really the only one freaking out, Duke was perfectly fine. When we landed in Honolulu it just so happens that we had GREAT seats because we got to watch him be taken off the plane. He was sticking his nose out one of the holes in his crate smelling the air of his new home. In the picture below he is on the brown cart. I was so excited to know that he was okay and that he made it here with us! 


We got home and let him sniff around and go potty, ate some lunch and then headed to one of our favorite beaches, Lanikai. Here is Duke and I in the car headed to the beach...

Duke at the beach... He was unsure of the waves at first and the salt water kinda threw him off.

He got over it quickly and then started leaping threw the water.
Here he is standing on the coral (yes, I know he really shouldn't be standing on it)



Such a good boy!!!




We've been to the beach twice now since we've been home and Duke loves it! I think he'll forget about AZ soon enough... or at least love it here. We walked to Waikiki last night to get some ice cream. Duke loved being out and meeting all the new people and smelling all the new smells. There is a street in Waikiki that is next to the International Marketplace called Duke's Lane, I had to get a picture. :)


Then we saw this sign inside the marketplace and I HAD to get a picture. Such a good sport.


So far having Duke home with us has been wonderful. It finally feels like we live here and that our little family is complete. I am sure there will be more picture and experiences to come.

Aloha! :)

I'm so sad that we didn't get to see you guys while you were here. I don't know when you are coming to visit next, but we HAVE to see each other! I'm so excited that you have Duke back with you. I don't know what I would do without my dogs for so long! I'm glad he made the trip ok and that he seems to like it there! :)

I think Hawaii is a Dog's heaven, especially if they like water and people.
