Leilani at 18 Weeks

We had planned on taking an early morning walk to Lanikai Park, but on the way, a small white dog ran out from a house to greet Leilani.  The dog's owner was still talking on the phone as she picked up her dog, "Mark, the surf is wild this morning, maybe we can catch some waves at Flat Island".

So, with that tidbit from the coconut wireless, we decided to go to the beach instead of the park.  Leilani observed the surf breaking on the coral reef and also noticed some canoe paddlers passing by.

It was low tide but the surge of the waves pushed up high on the beach.  We never have a shore break at Lanikai beach which is why it is always safe for puppies and keiki.

We have heard that the Obamas will be back for the Christmas holidays.  Too bad Bo can't come!  Jorge Garcia, the actor who stars in Lost, thought Leilani was a Portuguese Water dog.  Well, she is at least a water dog.
