As a dog owner, our family enjoys the companionship and responsibility of having a dog. Our dog has its place in our home or, if outside, on a leash. Do we take the dog shopping or to the restaurants? No.
Making a mockery
out of the ADA
As a dog owner, our family enjoys the companionship and responsibility of having a dog. Our dog has its place in our home or, if outside, on a leash. Do we take the dog shopping or to the restaurants? No.
However, my blood pressure probably does go up a tick if my loving dog isn’t beside me. I have found myself with a slight headache and heartache missing my dog. I guess both of those ailments could possibly and maybe lead to a heart attack or even a seizure of some sort.
Holy Cow. I have a service dog and I didn’t even know it. Now let me get on the Internet and get one of them service animals vests that some clown sells to anyone with money and I’ll be on my way. Actually, the government could make quite a bit of revenue if they deputize and train those existing citizens that give out those parking tickets for those that also abuse the handicap parking.
Come people, let’s not make a mockery of the good intentions of the Americans With Disabilities Act.

Mahalo for the
Kua Bay showers
Big mahalos to those responsible for setting up the new showers at Kua Bay. It only took a couple burned out pumps at the restrooms/showers before the new showers were set up.
Now if they only could figure out how to hold on to the sand during the winter.
