It is hard to believe that Leilani is going to be one year old on July 9th! It is time for a celebration with lots of dogs and dog lovers. Her parents Izzy and Hana Boy are hosting the party at a home in Lanikai and we have invited all of their puppies (and human companions as well).
It is easy to spot Izzy in the collage of pictures above. She is full of puppies in the photos at the top center and on the right side. She has a happy face in the center photo just a short time after giving birth to 5 puppies. The photo of Hana Boy is at the lower left. He is holding a toy just like Leilani's Rag Doll.
We could not decide which of the three black puppies is Leilani but we are pretty sure she is the one on the left of the cute shot with two black dogs in the top row.
Leilani has two sisters. One is black and the other is brindle. The black one is named Ipo. Izzy has a hanai sister also named Ipo. Ipo, Hawaiian for sweetheart or lover, is the small blond dog in the top row. The brindle sister is named Bolt.
Leilani has two brothers. One is black and the other is brindle. The black one is named Benji and the brindle dog is named Kalo. Kalo is Hawaiian for taro.
The folks at Lanikai Tea Room have promised to whip up some special dog treats for the party. It is likely that Leilani's favorite peanut butter treat will be included. Arf!!
