Kuma camps on top of Mingus Mountain

Kuma and his mom just hanging in a tree

I love my family! Just when I could hardly stand the heat any longer, my folks got the camper ready to go up to the mountains where it would be cooler. I did my adventure dance and said awoof. All the usual things were out (camelback, hiking shoes, my leash, food cooler, etc.), ready to […]

Kuma camps at Potato Patch near Prescott AZ

Great views of Sedona

As a dog, I don’t really understand calendars much. I go by the weather seasons, and we’ve been in the hot season here in Phoenix. Recently, we finally entered the hot and humid season, and I have a love/hate relationship with it. With the sticky weather comes drooling and dripping. I know—TMI (too much information)—but […]

Kuma heads to the South Rim at the Grand Canyon

Great view of the Grand Canyon

This summer is proving to be a hot one here in Phoenix. Temps rose earlier than normal, and we’ve had some record-breaking heat already. My parents decided that we should head up north to cool off. I’m always game for an adventure, especially when the camper is involved. This time when my mom and dad […]

Kuma camps in February at the Tortilla Flats Campground

Kuma and his family drive the Apache Trail

  I couldn’t believe my eyes the other day. My folks had the camper out. I mean, it is February after all, and that means winter for lots of folks. Not here in Arizona apparently, and I was totally game for an adventure of the camping kind! Woof. We drove to South Phoenix on the […]

Kuma camps and hikes around Happy Jack, AZ

Kuma pauses to take in the view

Oh how I love fall! First of all, my birthday is late September, and secondly, I love the cooler temps! Woof! My folks said we were heading up to Happy Jack to camp before it closed for the season. I don’t know this Jack fellow, but I’m always game to meet new folks, especially happy […]

Kuma walks among the Chiricahua Indians

Kuma bounds through the wildflowers on the trail

When my mom grabbed her small travel bag, I knew we were going on another adventure. Good thing, too, as it was going to be extremely hot here at home. My folks loaded up our home on wheels (they call it a camper), and off we went! We normally go north, but this time we […]

Kuma heads to high elevation to camp at Big Lake

Kuma and his folks camp near Big Lake in AZ

My dad pulled the camper up in front of the house again. Mom loaded up the frig, and off we went for another camping adventure! We were on a quest to find cooler temps as it has definitely heated up here in the Phoenix area. Google Maps is some woman who tells my daddy where […]

Kuma camps at Desert View in The Grand Canyon!

Kuma poses with his dad

I get around. It is true. My family took me to The Grand Canyon once before, and we enjoyed hiking in the snow! When I heard we were heading back, I couldn’t wait to cool off since we are in the hot season here in Phoenix where temperatures have been hotter than normal. You try […]

Kuma cools off by recalling a trip to Mohawk Lakes in Colorado

Kuma conquers the first of the Mohawk Lakes

Yowsa! It’s hot here in Phoenix. Me and my bro are stretching out on the tile floor and moving as little as possible. Ah, but I can dream, can’t I? Yes, to our Colorado trip last year. We stayed in Silverthorne at the LaQuinta where they know my name. Well, okay, maybe they know my […]

Kuma camps at Dogtown Lake

Kuma enjoys a hike around Dogtown Lake

I always love when my folks load up the car with snacks, drinks, and our hiking gear. It means we are going on an adventure. Now, when I see our new camper trailer, I know we will be heading some place new and exciting. Awoof! We drove about two hours north of Phoenix to Flagstaff, […]

I love the opening scene in Wonder Woman 1984 when Diana cheats, and her aunt holds her accountable. "The truth is you cheated, and there is only the truth...nothing but truth." We need to be seeking our own truth as well as the Ultimate Truth. #faith #FITLeader www.lorrainebosse-smith.com ... See MoreSee Less
