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)
This meme was used to promote this blog on Facebook... |
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
E ho'omaha me ka maluhia -Rest in Peace Dr. Sims... |
My Heartfelt condolences to all family and friends of one amazing man.
Rest in Peace Dr. Scott Sims Aloha Vet
E ho'omaha me ka maluhia

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.
