Aloha Koa!

I am not sure if everyone is aware, but Tyler had two dogs at home. Hoku, a yellow Labrador Retriever and Koa a Pit Bull Terrier Mix. Tyler actually seemed to like Koa more and we think it's because Koa was more active than Hoku. Oddly though, Hoku seems to like Tyler more than Koa did.

The day after President's day was a very sad day for the Rex family. Koa was in Tyler's room, a place where he isn't allowed to go and when Brad tried to get him out ... he bit Brad. Tyler was with mommy downstairs drinking milk during the entire thing.

So now the question was ... can we trust Koa? We really wanted to say we could and that life would go on as it has been. But with this incident, now we just weren't sure. And we needed to be 100% sure to make sure Tyler would never ever be in any harm. So, putting our family's best interest first ... we decided that it was best we take Koa back to the Silicon Valley Humane Society, which is where we had adopted him.

This was one of the hardest things that mommy has had to do. Koa was part of the family and it was sad that he had to leave. We all said our good bye's and even took some pictures for memories. Tyler had no idea what was going on .... but nevertheless we made him say good bye to Koa. And on daddy's way to work, he dropped him off at the Humane Society.

Aloha Koa, we will certainly miss you! Here's tons of pictures of Koa. :)

p/s. Daddy went to the doctor to get his ear checked out and everything is fine.
