Feather Ruffling & Special Memorial Tribute
To Dr. Scott Sims, The Aloha Vet
How many hobbies are as good as that?
Nobody ever had a negative response to my sunrise therapy/spirit face photos, how different from writing opinion articles where whatever you say is put under a microscope and dissected to the point of insanity.
I have been told that I ruffle the feathers of many. The Urban dictionary defines ruffling one's feathers as,"Playfully and flirtatiously annoying someone to a point when they hate to love you and can't get enough of you.(even though they're angry and aggravated)

However the Hana Hou, the best part is that every once in a while somebody actually compliments you and says, "that was really a funny article, so funny I spit out my morning coffee when reading it." Finally, somebody understood my satire!
That's what makes writing such a passion and rush for me.
Feel free to laugh, spit out out your morning beverage, cry, pout, rollover, stress and curse me behind my back or even right in front of me.
See you soon with something new to ruffle those feathers.
In Honor and Memory of a Great Man, Dr.Scott Sims-The Aloha Vet

Dr. Scott Sims passed away on the island of Kauai on Saturday morning July 25th 2015. He was surrounded by his family and friends and is now at peace after fighting a hard battle with cancer.
Scott brought compassion to all of those around him. He shared his amazing brilliance as a doctor of veterinarian medicine, a true scientist, inventor, teacher, mentor, pilot, builder, welder, writer, and so much more. The National Geographic TV series, “Aloha Vet”, starring Dr. Scott Sims, allowed Scott to share his love for animals and his cherished island of Kauai with the nation. His spirit, talents, and friendship will be immensely missed by all who knew him.

Aloha to everybody that adored Scott Sims. Memorial plans are getting closer. I will notify everybody ASAP. I am waiting to get confirmation for the date and venue. I wanted to share with you that Scott was grateful to spend time with all people who meant so much to him during his life. He decided to do a few more episodes of "Aloha Vet" so he could make the point about quality of life being more important then quantity of life. And he wanted to make sure that people knew to get out and really live. "It ends all to soon"....Scott would say. But he was determined to put together a foundation that would supply people and the animals of Kauai with "pay as able" veterinary care. This was Scott's #1 wish to launch The Pegasus Foundation. You can make a donation at: www.pegasusfoundationkauai.org
I will keep everybody updated! I promise.

I am still trying to find someone to write a book on Scotts life it has to been done.............and the foundation will grow
I totally agree ... must be written.
Scott was well into writing a book and one of his main goals upon hearing his diagnosis was to finish it right away. I wish we could find a way to do that for him. The title was to be "Eating horses don't die" something I said to him around 2 am one morning upon hearing of another colic while finishing one on the table. He laughed, realizing we wouldn't have another surgery that night. I wonder if we could put some of our own experiences on paper and give it to his estate in hopes they can help bring it to completion. The mainland contingency has lots of old and very old photos and stories to contribute.
I found a writer who did bio's her name is Jane Scovell and I did write her a letter hoping she would check into it and like I said his story has to be told
Doc Sims treated a cat for me and charged me nothing. He also spayed and neutered ferals for nothing because he understood the need. He will be missed.

Scott helped my Maile take her final journey this last April. His kindness and compassion helped me through an unbearable time. I called him to let him know that it was time for Maile...her cancer was beginning to restrict her breathing. In less than an hour, Scott was here at my home. I held Maile in my arms as she took her final breath as Scott stood by to let me grieve and hold this precious gift that was only in my life for five years. Maile was surrounded by love as she made her transition..it was peaceful but yet heartbreaking. I will be forever thankful to Scott, he holds a part of my heart for his love and compassion for all animals. I bet he was welcomed by all the animals as he entered heaven. The joy he must have felt seeing all of them again running, playing, healthy again and free of pain. I prayed he would find Maile in the vast numbers of pets he cared for and give her a hug from me. Until we all meet again Scott and Maile...xxoo
Beautiful story!
