Kai’s Story
Kai came into our lives when I least expected it, but needed her the most. Over a year passed us by since we lost Eco. While I wasn’t looking for a dog (but still finding myself looking at dog’s on the humane society’s website).
The moment we started to talk about the possibility of getting another dog, there she was on the website. If there is anything I believe in life, the moments we experience and the things we are presented with are there for a reason.We were meant to adopt her!

Kai’s Adoption Photo
It was her adoption photo that really got me. That sweet, sweet face. Her shelter name was “Kookaburra” she arrived to the shelter with several of her brother and sisters until they made their way to foster homes. There were about 6 siblings total.
She was 4 months old and ended up at a foster home with just her sister, and an older dog that they already had; and they called her Butterscotch!
She’s an Awe-Some!
Breed wise, the shelter said she is an “Australian Cattle Dog Mix” we get that, especially with her spotted feet and her level of focus. But looking at her, you could never really guess what she is (and neither can the vet). Since we don’t really know, we call her an “AWE-SOME!” That’s part Australian - and part something else.
How Kai Got Her Name
We wanted to keep it simple, and have her name almost be more like a sound (than a full name). Chris ultimately found Kai, looking online and we liked how it held different meaning in different cultures — one example: ocean. I loved that. Because she is really a soul dog and deeply connected to the outdoors.
our adventure &
frisbee dog
Everyday is an adventure with Kai. She just had her 1st birthday on August 26th, which also happens to be National Dog Day!
Her favorite game is to play frisbee. Which is so ironic because we are TOTALLY a frisbee family. From playing catch to disc golf, and watching disc golf on TV.
We take her with us everywhere. She loves hiking and roadtrips. The beach is something that she is still getting use to. But no matter what we always have so much fun.
