Kuma Visits Lynx Creek Ruins in Prescott

Kuma and his mom with overlook

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

Going for a walk

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 […]

Feelings vs Facts

Facts not feelings

If I had to sum up succinctly what I feel is wrong in our country right now, I would say our emotional intelligence as a whole is in the basement. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is our ability to sense, understand and effectively apply the power and acumen of emotions to facilitate higher levels of collaboration and […]

Kuma Remembers Horsetooth Mountain in Colorado

Views from the top

Wow! We got snow here in Phoenix. Wasn’t that amazing and oh so pretty? Did you get up north to play? We didn’t get a chance this weekend, but if you did, share some pictures! All this winter weather reminded me of a hike we did when we lived in Colorado. It is called Horsetooth […]

Snow Day in Flagstaff

Kuma and his mom in the snow

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

Kuma on 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

Kuma loves bouldering

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

Kuma enjoys views

  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

Kuma goes hiking Christmas Eve

             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 […]

Kuma enjoys a Snow Day in Flagstaff

Lava Cave in Flagstaff

One of my favorite things about this time of year is heading up north to play in the snow. Every year right before Christmas, we go on an SOS mission: search of snow. This year was a challenge because we have been quite dry. In fact, we’ve only had 15 days of measurable rain in […]
