Boy, the heat is here in Phoenix. It isn’t fit for man or beast out there! Stay hydrated and cool my friends. I’m wishing we were at high elevation again like we were in Nevada. I shared about the Great Basin National Park, but I wanted to tell you about a little secret: a back […]
Frances Short Pond in Flagstaff
Wow! Those who live in Colorado got snow while we are heating up here in Phoenix. This time of year means we head north more often to cool off, and we did just that this past weekend. Mom is grateful that we are both sleeping better, and Dad is slowing doing better. We hopped in […]
Picnic at Fain Park in Prescott, AZ
Hello dear readers! Thank you for the concern and kind wishes. Mom and I are pleased to report that I have been sleeping the entire night through. Trust me, she is very happy about this, as she doesn’t do well without sleep. Our friend, Debbie Russell, connected us with a Cannabis Veterinarian Guide named Kelly […]
Lake Havasu – Day One
One thing I have learned in my 13 years on this earth is that you can make your plans, but Mother Nature may have something to say about them. Meaning, she doesn’t always cooperate. I was supposed to join my family on a trip to Lake Havasu as the temps are normally in the 80s […]
Hiking the Fool Hollow Lake in Show Low AZ
Greetings my dear readers! If you saw my Facebook post this morning, you know I’m limping. We are wondering if I didn’t recover fully from my fall off the super-sized bed during our stay in Show Low. I’ll see Dr. Grossman from Sonoran Foothills Pet Clinic. I appreciate good thoughts as I don’t want to […]

Kuma Hikes Around Bear Canyon Lake
Hello my dear followers. As I alluded to last week, we’ve once again lost a loved one. This time was our neighbor and friend who was more like family to us. He’d bring me steak bones and just adored my brother, Edmond. He was kind, funny and always available if you needed a helping hand […]
Kuma’s first visit to Goldwater Lake in Prescott
Wow! This June marks six years since me and my family moved to Phoenix. How time flies! I’m twelve, and this is the longest I’ve ever lived in one place. You would think I have seen it all but nope! Surprise – a new discovery! We got up early to beat the traffic and […]
Kuma heads to Greer, Arizona
I don’t like storms much, but mom and dad were sure glad when the monsoons finally arrived the other day. We got an inch of rain! The next day, we loaded up the camper and headed toward Greer, Arizona. We traveled once to Big Lake, and I remember it taking forever to get there, so […]
Kuma enjoys Granite Basin Lake
Can it get any hotter? Mom says it was 130 degrees at Death Valley the other day. Well, duh! Death by heat! No thanks. We’ve been struggling to find places that are cooler this summer, and we decided to give Prescott a try this past weekend. We got up when it was still dark – […]
