Aloha, and thanks for visiting!



Currently under construction is the official website for my pet sitting and pet care services. In the meantime, please enjoy some fun photos and pet-related writing, here on *The Dog Blog.

If you reside in Kona, and are interested in hiring me to:
- Care for your pets while you're away, (I offer in-your-home, overnight pet sitting and/or daily visits and walks, as a safe, comfortable alternative to boarding)
- Take your dogs adventuring
- Help them stay fit, happy and healthy
- Photograph your pets
Or any combination of the above...

Please email me: friskybusinesskona@yahoo.com

* Check out my blog dedicated to cats, too, The Mews: http://themewsbyliz.blogspot.com/

I have more than 10 years of experience caring for pets professionally, and have many happy clients of both the two and four-legged variety. Many of them live here in Kona, and would be glad to bark/meow my praises, should you choose to ask their opinion.

Thanks again for stopping by my blog, and I look forward to meeting you and your dog and cat kiddos!

Zen and the Art of Running With Dogs

Something magical happens when I run with dogs.
I don't so much consider it running, as "dancing while connected by a leash".
This is because, when I am running with a dog, we are two living bodies - doing what bodies love and need to do most. We are getting healthier and happier, while getting fresh air and exercise; inhaling the scents of tropical flowers and saltwater; watching the sunset over the endless Pacific. Feeling so alive, and blessed to have the ability and strength in our bodies to propel ourselves forward: fast! Because we are two animals, connected by our breaths and footfalls and heartbeats, there is a disintegration of the great divide between minds, what we call Ego. It is usually what separates the primal mind from the intellectual mind, whether between a human and animal, or a human and Self. When a dog and I are running together, that struggle ceases to exist. The emergent property of our two, individual beings forms one Higher Mind, then shared by both. What results from the connection between a human and a dog, is something greater than the sum of its parts.
