Adventures at Home

Edmond loves his tree

I’ve said it before: adventures come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes, adventures are in your own backyard! This past weekend, we didn’t leave the house. Mom and Dad decided that just being home together was the adventure we needed. This year has involved a lot of stress due to COVID along with tons of […]

Kuma takes Norman to Lynx Lake

Norman and Kuma

Wow! Mom just told me that this is my 200th blog. I’m not great at counting, but I think this is worth celebrating. Where’s my steak bone? Oh yeah, Dee & Doug McBride gave me one over the weekend (thank you!). Perfect timing. Woof! And what better adventure for my 200th blog than the day […]

Hiking the Bear Sign Trail in Sedona

Bear Sign Trail is six miles

What did you do for Halloween this year? My family took me up to Sedona for a hike. We got up super early to try and beat the traffic because lately it has been so congested that it takes over an hour to get to Rock Springs Café, which should be only 18 minutes away […]

Camping at Enchanted Rock in Texas

Enchanted Rock loop trail

             I can’t believe we have lived in Phoenix six years now. Wow – how time flies! Since moving here, we got a camper trailer. Mom loves having a frig with ice and a human bathroom. Dad appreciates not having to sleep on the ground, which we used to do. In fact, while living in […]

Hiking Grey Rock in Northern Colorado

Grey Rock

Before I jump into my blog, I want to say thank you to all the fire fighters nationwide who face enormous danger to save property, people and pets. This year has been riddled with horrific fires in states like Arizona, Colorado, California and Oregon. It breaks my Shiba heart to know beautiful places have burned […]

Kuma Explores Taos, New Mexico

Kuma at Taos Ski resort

Hello! I hope you’ve had a good week. As promised, I will share about the second half of my birthday trip to New Mexico. Mom’s only experience with Taos was in the 90s, and dad and I have never been, so off to Taos we went. The road to Taos from Angel Fire is super […]

Kuma Celebrates His Birthday in Angel Fire, New Mexico

Driving the Enchanted Circle

  When mom and dad got the suitcases out, I was hopeful that it meant a road trip with me and not an airplane ride without me. Mom told me we were going to celebrate our birthdays, so I got very excited! My birthday is September 26, and my mom’s is October 1. Our tradition […]

Kuma visits a new park

Kuma checks out a new park

This weekend wasn’t very exciting for me. Mom and dad went 4-wheeling, and I stayed home because I don’t like all that bouncing around. Mom made up for it by taking me to a new park today! We visited Paseo Highlands Park off of W Pinnacle Peak Road (exit 217 off I-17). The park is […]

Kuma Conquers Round Mountain in Loveland, CO

Views from Round Mountain

  As I have mentioned before, I am a Colorado dog who lives in Phoenix now. Don’t get me wrong – I love the desert! I just get tired of the heat around this time of year and am ready for cooler temps. Of course, in Colorado the weather can get too cold and stormy, […]

Kuma hikes a new trail: Groom Creek in Prescott

Great views from Groom Creek trail

I don’t think my mom understands what Labor Day means. While lots of folks were resting and relaxing, she picked out a long hike in Prescott for us to do. She heard good things about the Groom Creek Trail, so off went. Originally, we were going to stay up in Prescott and camp, but our […]
