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 Conquers Round Mountain in Loveland, CO
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 Horsetooth Falls in Fort Collins, CO
This past weekend was house-cleaning day. It’s the day my folks clean up me and Edmond’s fur. I supervise, and my brother sleeps. We didn’t go anywhere, so it gave me a chance to ponder past adventures. With the cloud cover, it reminded me of cooler days back in Northern Colorado. On this particular outing, […]
Lady Moon Trail Near Red Feather Lakes in Colorado
I know I have said it before, but it is one hot summer! In Phoenix, we’ve had 34 days and counting when the temperature is above 110. That’s just too much for this Colorado dog! I guess that is why I keep reminiscing of days gone by and remembered the Lady Moon Trail near Red […]
Young’s Gulch Trail Reopens in Colorado
Oh rain, where art thou? This is supposed to be our monsoons (rainy season), but we keep getting humidity without the reward. Sigh. About this time of year, I do miss the water in Colorado: lakes, rivers and streams abound. When it is too hot to do much, I find myself dreaming about adventures gone […]
A Marathon of a Story
Okay, it is officially HOT! We broke all kinds of records this past weekend in Phoenix: hottest temp for the day, hottest low, and multiple days in a row over 110…and it is only July! I don’t know about you, but I was a total slug this weekend. I didn’t move unless I had […]
Kuma goes Backpacking on the Dunraven Trail in Colorado
When mom got a very small duffle bag out, I wasn’t sure what it meant. I know what a big suitcase means – mom and dad are going someplace on an airplane without me. I know what the camper trailer means – a great adventure for me! I was confused until mom used the word […]
Riverbend Ponds Natural Area in Fort Collins, CO
Did you know that I am a Colorado dog? I was born in Denver, Colorado, September of 2008. Hi Grandma Beth! Can I really be that old? I don’t feel it – never better! Anyway, when the temperatures here in Phoenix rise, I often find myself wishing Colorado was a little closer. Don’t get […]
Kuma’s snow shoeing trip to Lake Zimmerman, Colorado
Here in Phoenix, spring comes early, and we only have a little bit of winter left. As the wild flowers start to pop up here, other parts of the country, like Colorado, can have snow through May. Early spring makes my mom happy, but I do miss the snow and am always glad when we […]
Kuma’s Rental RV Experience at the Maroon Bells in Colorado
If you have been following my adventures, you know me and my family got a camper a couple of years ago . lorrainebosse-smith.com/kuma-goes-first-camper-adventure/ We’ve been enjoying exploring and adventuring ever since! My family purchased our camper, but that wasn’t always the case. When we were living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, we planned […]
