Greetings from Hawaii!

Noel, yes there is one lady from Hawaii here.

So Noel, tell us about your dog.  Do you have any pictures??  You know that we have to see pictures of all new i-doggers.  []

Yes, we require pictures. Where are the pictures?

So what does one do in Hawaii besides hang out at the beach? Are you allowed to take your dog to the beach?

I have lots of pictures but not the electronic form.  I'll upload some tomorrow for sure though.  For the mean time, you all will have to be satisfied with my fuzzy cell phone camera pic in my profile. Sorry!
 
Anywho, Spooky is a 14 year old black labrador retriever.  I got him as a throw away from a grocery store parking lot.  He was given to me free so when you're a little kid, free is good.  Free is so good that I took two puppies.  I didn't ponder the fact that I didn't tell my parents at the time that I had two puppies en tow with me.  Oh well, thankfully they let me keep them both. []  So he's traveled with me ever since, most recently to the 50th state.  He's getting old and gray (as my profile pic shows) but he's still lively.  He's going deaf although sometimes I think he just wants to ignore me on purpose 'cuz he'll always sneak up on me when I least expect it with a dirty slobber for me--which usually ends up on my work slacks...   Like I stated before, I'll definitely get some pictures up soon, I just only had my cell phone handy at the time I found this website so I figured I had to put at least one thing up.
 
What's there to do in Hawaii?  Well, other than the beach, which never gets old, there's lots of other outdoorsy type stuff to do.  I live on Oahu (The Gathering Place) so there's lots of mountainous terrain in North "the country" to hike, camp, and get lost in.  The other major islands are also chock full of the kind of stuff you'll only see in the movies or commercials so its great. I'm getting back into the hiking and climbing slowly as I had an operation a few years ago that made it a bit difficult to do that kinda stuff--that and none of my friends are into the outdoors.  My friends have no life... haha.  I'd ask if there was someone that wanted a hiking buddy, but apparently there is only one other person from Hawaii on here... 
 
So that's my life in a nutshell.   I thought I was supposed to wait for my "POD" day but if you all want to know more, just ask...ya know,  I probably told you all more stuff in 2 minutes than most people know that I see in person!
 
Its a shame there's only one other person on here from Hawaii, even I sorta stumbled upon this forum by accident last week looking for a doggy-related answer to a question I had.  Oh well, maybe some more Hawaii people will come eventually...  Geez, I feel lonely on my little rock in the ocean! []
 
Feel free to ask whatever comes to mind.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Noel,
Welcome to the forum.  idog is a great place to be.  You can learn a great deal being here.  Did you find an aswer to your question from last week? 

I vote we hole an idog convention at Noel's place in Hawaii!  That way she won't be lonely there anymore!  What do you say Noel?  Got room for 18000+ members?

And spouses or significant others....wouldn't want to go to Hawaii without the DH!
 
Hi!  Welcome to idog.  Hope you enjoy it here. (muttering since winter came back to NW MI and it's snowing again.....after 50 degree temps........[:@])

Oh yeah I am so gonna start to pack....lets go to Hawaii[]
Glad you found the site and decided to join. Hope you got the answers you were looking for regarding your dog. Can't wait to see the pics when you post them[]
 

I say we rent a cruise ship so we don't have to fly our doggies!  I've often thought it would be cool to be on a ship with dogs.  Though the whole pottying business would be interesting...

Nah, we just get them to put astro turf down on one of the decks and make that the dog park.....well, guess maybe in SEVERAL places......and since we'll be on a cruise ship and are supposed to be treated like royalty, well, we'll just let THEM do poop patrol!  I *might* need a full time slave with 6 shepherds...and, oh?  What about they MUST have a doggie chef for those of us who feed homecooked....

Complementary Kongs in each cabin.  And the  pools must have gradual entries.  Agility courses, and mesh domed enclosures for frisbee.  Air conditioning is a must obviously, but extra cold rooms for my pups would be appreciated.

 
 
Hawaii?? Count me in!

I'm not a girl...  Do I sound like a girl? haha did I mess up my profile and put I'm a girl? Geez, don't I feel emasculated now.[] 

Oh, and sure come on down, you can always sleep on the beach! []

Excuse our mistake!  We don't have a TON of male members and you didn't REALLY give us a lot of info!  We'll take more guys tho!  Especially ones that let us escape the cold and snow!!
