A Day in the Life of Koa

There's a special kind of pressure that comes with naming a dog. Unlike naming a child, where you can rationalize that they'll eventually develop their own identity regardless of what you call them, a dog's name sticks with them for life. It becomes their primary identifier, the sound they learn to respond to, and in many ways, an extension of your own personality and creativity. So how do we choose the perfect name for our furry companions? The process is both an art and a science, blending practicality with personal meaning.

If your dog is scratching like they just walked through a field of mosquitoes, licking their paws nonstop, or dealing with stubborn ear infections, allergies might be to blame. Just like humans, dogs can develop allergic reactions to everything from pollen to food to fleas. Knowing the signs, causes, and treatments can help you keep your pup comfortable and happy.

They say dogs are our best teachers, and after years with Koa by my side, I couldn’t agree more. He’s taught me lessons about patience, resilience, and the kind of joy that comes from simply being present. Koa has a way of reminding me what truly matters.

Koa’s way of expressing love is as unique as he is. Beyond being my loyal companion, his role as a therapy dog brings joy to others. Whether it’s cuddling up with me as his favorite body pillow or offering his calming presence to someone in need, Koa’s love is genuine and unwavering.
