Restless Lip Syndrome

When I have snacks, how am I supposed to say no to this face?

Later in the day yesterday when it was more safe, we packed up Indy and brought him to Volcano House to get a different angle of the eruption. He was very popular with the tourists!

Indy reminds you to indulge in life's simple pleasures, like a little bit of sunshine and a breeze (from the comfort of your human-powered backpack transportation system).

Going to the beach to enjoy a sunset is always a good idea.

With tephra littering every walkable space, Indy was forced to wear boots for protection. He may be smiling here, but he was not thrilled with this arrangement.

Indy got to meet the voice of the Merrie Monarch Festival: Kimo Kahoano!

Indy wore a lovely woven lei and was loved on by many hula aunties last night for the Kahiko Hula performances.

Indy understands the assignment.

We now return to your regularly scheduled "Indy is happy doing interesting things" program (although more rain is in the forecast 🙁). Indy recently went on a whale-watching boat ride along the Kona coast. The weather was perfect, the boat mostly empty, and we indeed saw some humpbacks! 🐋

Indy also got to meet one of our most popular local news anchors: Keahi Tucker! Keahi seemed tickled by the request to take a photo with Indy and offered to hold him (as Keahi is easily 6'4" and dwarfs most people mich less dogs). Indy got to wear a new feather bow tie we bought him at the craft fair for the 'Auana night at Merrie Monarch.

More window seat enjoyment.

Normally, Indy hangs out in the aisle seat, but yesterday he was in the middle and got a good view of the window. He was transfixed by the moving clouds. Typically, my head would be in the window looking out the entire time, but not on this flight 🙂

Holy cow things are intense here at Volcanoes National Park. Pele is going off! The park is closed and evacuated (except for those of us at Kilauea Military Camp). Tephra everywhere. Indy did not get to see Pele today as we deemed it was too dangerous for him to go outside with everything going on. What an experience!

For the record, Indy gets to enjoy totally normal dogs things as well 😅

He was given a lamb bone to chew on after dinner.

We were getting pelted with large chunks of tephra! This is why they close the park, these chunks can cause serious lacerations. Akahele!
