Bartlett Lake, AZ

If you follow me, you know I am always up for an adventure, but when it comes to motorcycling, not so much. I know some Shiba Inu dogs go on the bike with their human but not me. I’m a super-sized Shiba, so I doubt I would fit anyway. On Saturday, mom and dad got […]

Kuma Hikes Red Mountain in Snow

Mother Nature certainly has a sense of humor. Just when we thought spring was here to stay, winter returned…with a vengeance! My fans up in Loveland, Colorado, got about 26 inches of snow. Yowsa! Meanwhile here in Arizona, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to head north to go play in the snow one last […]

Shiba Inu Meet Up at Rose Mofford Dog Park

You might find this hard to believe, but I am not the only Shiba Inu. My breed is gaining popularity here in Arizona, and we joined a Shiba Inu Meet Up group last year hoping to see other dogs and humans. Because of COVID-19, however, there haven’t been any meet ups…until this past weekend. We […]

Kuma Visits Lynx Creek Ruins in Prescott

I’m usually bummed when Monday comes along because it means Daddy goes back to work, but he was home. As mom made sandwiches and packed up our hiking gear, I knew an adventure was coming. Oh boy! Where would we go this time? Mom said some place new as we needed material for my blog. […]

Dove Valley Path – North Phoenix

I hope you had a nice holiday weekend. Mom and Dad went to Sedona without me. I haven’t forgiven them yet. They say they did non-dog-friendly stuff. Hmph. Maureen from Paws on Pet Sitting and our neighbor Dee took very good care of me and my brother, but I was happy to get out with […]

Snow Day in Flagstaff

It isn’t very often that the weather here in Phoenix forces us to change our plans, but the recent rain meant we couldn’t go for our planned hike on Saturday. No worries because we headed up north to play in the snow instead, and that made me very happy! The desert certainly needs the rain, […]

Cave Creek Trail #4

I didn’t post an adventure yesterday like I usually due because of the holiday. Dad had the day off, so we were able to go on an adventure. The weather was just wonderful, and we thought we better enjoy it while we can as the clouds were already rolling in. Rain is coming, and the […]

Kuma hikes Willow Creek Lake in Prescott

We are starting the new year off with a bang! First, we did a 5.5-mile loop in Sedona, and this past weekend we went 6.5 miles. Wholly smokes. Let me back up. I knew we were going north on an adventure when we woke up on a Saturday when it was still dark. That’s the […]

Happy New Year from Brin’s Mesa in Sedona

Happy New Year to you! Did you wait up for the new year to come? In my house, we go to sleep early so we can get up and out for a New Year’s Day hike. My mom heard somewhere that whatever you do on New Year’s, you will be doing all year long. […]

My Happy Holidays

I just love when my dad has some extra time off for the holidays! We were able to get two hikes in over the holiday weekend. The first was on Christmas Eve day, and it helped pass the time until Santa Paws came. With the weather being nice and cool, we were able to […]
