Punchbowl resident Kathy Custer, owner of Keiki Sitters & Ohana Helpers, cruises on her motorcycle with 2-year-old Ipo, a Reindeer Chihuahua. “Ipo loves the motorcycle!” Cathy says. “He gets to feel the wind all over his body and bark at dogs as we drive by. On the cruiser motorcycle I carry him in my purse. He likes to jump out and have his front paws on my thigh and his back paws in the bag. On the sporty motorcycle, I wear a backpack on my front and tie his leash to it so he can move around, but won’t go too far. We have been cruisin’ the island together since he was a pup.”
