Mom’s Bday trip to Park City, UT

Happy birthday to Moka's Mom

  Mom just had a birthday, and we celebrated by heading to Utah. I’ve been to the southern part already, but this time, we were heading north. Dad loaded the truck up, and off we went on I-70 East through to 40 East. You have several options from Grand Junction, and we chose the northern […]

Snooks Bottom Open Space in Fruita

In search of fall color

  I have never moved before. Wow, it involves a lot of people in and out of our house! Lots of noise, dust, and it has kept Mom and Dad busy. We aren’t done yet, but we are making progress. How do I know? Because we have been able to do more fun adventures. This […]

A Day Trip to Sedona

Lunch in Sedona

   Mom and Dad have wanted to take me to Sedona for quite some time, but they say it gets crowded on weekends. We decided the day after Thanksgiving—also called Black Friday—might be a good time to go. Originally, we planned to hike Brin’s Mesa, an 8.5-mile challenging hike with incredible views. Unfortunately, Mom wrecked […]

A Day at Dead Horse Ranch State Park

Some fall color

I had a big surprise this weekend: an out-of-town guest! Mom’s friend, Mary, came from Boulder City, NV, to visit…and she stayed over! I’d like to say I was well behaved and displayed good manners, but I was too excited. Everything I ever learned went right out of my head! I jumped on her, chewed […]

Moka Goes to Pagosa Springs, CO

Moka and his Mom

  Yowsa! The Heavens opened up, and we have gotten a lot of rain here in Arizona! We are grateful we weren’t in Pagosa Springs this weekend either as the San Juan River flooded town! Our thoughts and prayers are with the friendly people of the area. More rain is coming here, and the ground […]

Moka’s First Trip to Colorado

Moka and his Mom go hiking

  As I told you last week, we headed to Durango, Colorado, to celebrate Mom’s birthday. This is my first trip to Colorado, and I was eager to explore the state where Mom grew up. We took the route through Tuba City, Kayenta, Cortez, and Mancos. We didn’t stop much and made good time at […]

Moka’s Mom Visits Cañon City, CO

A local gem

   The morning started off as any other morning, but as Dad grabbed his backpack for work, Mom joined him. Instead of a briefcase, she had her suitcase. She was traveling without me again, and Dad was taking her to the airport. The upside was: 1) Maureen from Paws On Petting Sitting finally got to […]

Take Time to Recharge

We need to combat stress with time with God

To combat the negativity of the world, you must take time to recharge, refresh, and renew! Nature does that for me. What works for you? Do it!

Love is a Four-Paw Word

A baby Kuma

    Many of you have heard our dog, Kuma, had a stroke, and we had to say goodbye on Friday, June 21. I still can’t believe he is gone. We went from having an aging dog to no dog at all. It happened all too quickly, but with the active life Kuma led, this […]

What I Loved About Living in Texas

Kuma in Kerrville

How appropriate! This is the month of love with Valentine’s Day on the 14th, and I am sharing what I loved about living in Texas. To give you some history, we moved from Loveland, Colorado, when I was only four years old. I was young and full of energy. We left mountain terrain where I […]
