Your Pet's Unique TraitsYou were bold, brilliant, and extra in the best way — a social butterfly with ocean-colored eyes, velvet toe beans, and a spotted belly made for showing off. You strutted through the world like you owned it — in your pink harness — charming dogs, delivery drivers, and strangers at wine bars. You filled every room with energy and every day with magic: jack-in-the-box jumps, laundry-basket gymnastics, jungle-gym climbs, and a flair for hydration that always ended in a puddle.
Your Pet's Story or BioFrom shelter to star, a shoulder ride in Kaua‘i was all it took. Even after sitting in your carrier from 6 a.m., enduring two flights with a layover in Honolulu, and waiting alone in the cold cargo hold at SFO — you emerged happy, purring, and ready for treats.
Your life was heartbreakingly short, but your presence was loud, loving, and unforgettable. As your friend Logan wrote, “You rolled your way into everyone’s heart.” You were my wild, wise, open-hearted Kaua‘i boy. You were my match. My miracle. My joy.
Wait for me by the waves, Mekili — the ones we dreamed about. I love you forever,
In loving memory of Alohi Mekili Likohoa, 2024-2025
