Happy Aloha Saturday! Wednesday evening, I had the honor of taking HuMom to the Pets on Wheels of Scottsdale Annual Awards and Recognition Meeting. There were dozens of other therapy dogs with their handlers and not a single growl or bark. The buffet was beautiful and included my favorite blueberries!!! HuMom received an Evaluator pin, a 10-year pin and a 350-visit pin (handmade by Mr. Shawn, our president). She was also honored to receive the President's Award for being my driver and leash holder! She even cried ugly happy tears, and I had to comfort her in front of all our friends! Our beloved angel Duke was also inducted into the Pets on Wheels Hall of Fame! Special congratulations to our shining north star, Miss Diane on receiving the Peggy Eischen Memorial Award! We are so privileged to belong to this organization and always awed by the level of compassion and commitment our members have to our community! Mahalo to the Board of Directors for an amazing night! ❤ ~Mano🦈

Happy Aloha Tuesday! Sunday afternoons at the Health Care Center are my favorite. I have the honor of spending time with patients, staff, residents and families. They are my ohana ~ my extended family. Sometimes we talk, often we are silent, we hold paws/hands, we laugh and once in a while, we share tears. I participate in their activities and stand in support as families are saying their final goodbyes. I appreciate being a part of their journey, as they are of mine.

As 2026 approaches, be gentle with yourself and those around you!
Hau'oli Makahiki Hou ~ Happy New Year!

Our hearts are broken hearing about the passing of our dear furiend, Teddy the Spaz Man. No doubt that he was greeted at the Rainbow Bridge by his BFFs - Mama Kitty, Roxie and Yogi. 🌈 We know our human Dad was there to greet him too, as he adored Teddy, his antics and posts about Mr. Johnson. Teddy had a BIG and comedic life after being adopted by an incredible family. We hope they know that our paws are wrapped tightly around them. Romp In Paradise, Teddy! We love you always! 🐾🙏🌈💔 ~Kono, Mano and Kula

Happy Aloha Thursday! Yesterday I had the honor of joining my fellow Pets on Wheels of Scottsdale therapy dogs for a de-stress event at Scottsdale Community College. Some students were finishing final exams and some were on their way to the library to study for their last test. Hopefully, we were able to help them juggle the demands off classes, jobs, holidays and social situations. ❤ ~Mano 🦈

Happy Aloha Monday! My visit to the Health Care Center yesterday was full of holiday cheer. The Christmas trees are up in the lobby and the various common areas. Some of the residents have even decorated their rooms.🎄When I visited with Miss Marilyn, I was VERY interested in her beanie babies but was not thrilled when HuMom told me to leave them under her tree! BOL! ❤ ~Mano 🦈

Happy Aloha Monday! Yesterday during my visit to the Health Care Center, a lovely group of young ladies (4-12 yo) arrived to perform Christmas carols for the 3rd floor. As the residents, staff, family members and patients were all gathered together in the dining hall, I had a wonderful opportunity to visit with everyone! As the young ladies took turns performing, a few of them took their "off stage" time to spend with me. They each held a paw as they asked HuMom questions about me. They were the sweetest, gentlest, most considerate young ladies and I so enjoyed my time with them! ❤ ~Mano 🦈

Today is Veterans Day, a day to honor and thank all the brave people who have served and sacrificed for our country. We also want to recognize and appreciate the special role that animals play in the military and in the lives of veterans. Animals have been loyal companions, helpers, and heroes for soldiers throughout history, providing comfort, support, and protection. 🐾

Happy Aloha Monday! Yesterday I visited with the staff, residents, patients and families at the Health Care Center. November is the month of gratitude and growth! ❤ ~Mano 🦈

Knowing that Saturdays are tough for HuMom, I demanded that we get up this morning (70 degrees finally!) and go to downtown Gilbert for one of our favorite annual traditions - Barktober Festival (benefitting Friends for Life Animal Rescue)! We watched lure course, met some Gilbert police and firemen, met every species of dog from Chihuahua to Mastiff, visited with all the merchants, boarding facilities, vets, pet photographers and somehow, I came home with a tennis ball from each vendor table! I played doggie corn hole and even had another blessing with a local church. (They laughed as I closed his eyes while being prayed over!) I hope you did something today that brought you JOY! ❤

Happy Aloha Sunday! Today I made my rounds at the Health Care Center in my final Halloween costume for the year - Dr. Paws was on duty! I am the Chief Resident of holding hands, bringing smiles and comforting the residents. I wore a new pair of scrubs, complete with masks, rubber gloves and my trusty stethoscope! (I forgot my Rx pad with my pawprint as signature.) I am happy to report everyone was happy and smiling when I left the facility! ❤ ~Mano 🦈

Happy Aloha Monday! Yesterday at the Health Care Center, I roamed the halls dressed as a slice of pupperoni pizza! 🍕 The residents had fun naming all the ingredients on my Halloween costume. What is your favorite pizza? ❤ ~Mano 🦈
