| In Fort Worth, my cousin's 2-year-old Boxer tries to get mellow Kona to play. |
|
|
| He's not the dog-play type, but Amelia is persistent. |

| Kona finally getting into it. |

|
| Kona watches for deer to chase in a quiet Kansas campground. |
|
|
| Don't laugh! He found one to chase around the campground and into a ravine, where Kona splashed through shallow water and mud. |

| Watching squirrels in a tree (it turns out my bird dog isn't particularly interested in birds). |
|
|
| Nearby squirrel taunts Kona from a low-hanging branch. |
|
|
| Normally silent Kona barks a stern warning. |

| Sounding the alarm. |

| Finally free to chase the squirrels. |
|
|
| Tree-sniffing for squirrel scent. He also chased a few, but not until I made him sit and stay while the squirrels get to the nearest tree. |

| Watching me set up the tent. |

|
| While I'm in the process of setting up the tent, he climbs in and claims the more comfortable mattress. This isn't the first time this happened. |

| Loyal companion. |
