Kuma’s Birthday Celebration in Show Low, AZ

Kuma cools off

    My birthday is actually tomorrow, and I turn 15 years old or 84 ish in dog years. Wow, how did that happen? I was just a pup bounding my way through adventures, and now, well, I’ve slowed down a tad. I am still game for adventures, and Mom and Dad took me to […]

Kinnikinnick Lake

Kinnikinnick Lake

As you know, Mom helps me with blogging about my adventures. Well, her computer crashed hard last week, and Daddy spent days and days trying to fix, repair, reinstall, and get it working again. We are pleased to report it seems to be working again—thank you Daddy! This all meant Mom wasn’t able to do […]

A Doggone Great Day at Dogtown Lake

A great day

What a hot summer we have had. I am quite ready for fall! Thankfully, my folks took me up north this past weekend to cool off. This time we went to Dogtown Lake up near Williams. Although this seems too far for a day trip, it was about the same distance as going to Flagstaff, […]

Joint Support for Dogs

Kuma working his legs and hips

  Bummer. Hurricane Hillary didn’t bring us any rain; she hooked to the west. I didn’t want a hurricane, mind you, but I was hoping for some glorious rain. All we got was clouds and humidity. We are still hopeful for some monsoons later this week! Mom was the speaker for North Valley Church’s Women’s […]

A Hike Around Mingus Lake

Mingus Lake

  What did you think of my aging tips? I have to live them out every day as I approach 15 years old. I had a really rough couple of days and nights last week, but Mom and Dad made me feel much better by taking me up north. When we had our camper trailer, […]

Kuma’s Advice on Aging

Keep a positive attitude

  Hello dear readers! I missed last week because Mom didn’t know what end was up due to a traveling nightmare. I have never been on an airplane, and from what I hear lately, I don’t want to. Anyway, Mom and Dad ended up driving 21 hours straight from Ellensburg, Washington to Phoenix as United […]

Mowgli Turns Two

Mowgli is part sass and sweet

  I don’t know what you did this past weekend, but we didn’t head North. The temperatures were hot everywhere in state with no place to go to cool off. Ugh. Uncle! Mom and Dad are desperately trying to keep landscaping/plants from dying. Please Mother Nature, we need some rain!    I am grateful for […]

Dragonfly & Lake Roberts Hikes, NM

Clouds rolling in

  Son of a dog biscuit, it is hot! It is not fit for man or beast out there. Eeesh. Who made Mother Nature mad? Please apologize so we can get a relief from all the heat. Difficult to get out early enough when our low was 95 last night. Ugh. Stay hydrated and cool, […]

Gila Cliff Dwellers & Hot Springs

Gila Cliff Dwellers

  Did you miss me last week? Mom and Dad were traveling, and with the 4th holiday, we didn’t get to my blog. I figure Mom deserves one week off a year! Once again, I’ll be sharing an adventure I didn’t go on. The temperatures have been too high, so I stayed at home in […]

Stoneman Lake

An awesome place to cool off

  Oh boy, the heat is here! We went from below average to above average temperatures in a snap. Good thing we have awesome options of places to go and cool off. We went to one such place this last weekend. The goal was Mormon Lake up in Flagstaff as Mom read about a hike […]
