Snow Day in Munds Park

Oh boy, snow!

  If you recall, our New Year’s Day snow shoeing tradition was rained out this year. We had to bail and turn back home. Imagine my surprise after driving for 1 ½ hours only to be back at the same place we started. Very strange indeed! I was quite confused for a few moments, but […]

A Day in Show Low, AZ

Great views

  This was my 14th Christmas and Mowgli’s second with us. He was definitely more into it this year. He was on the naughty list put pulled through with some last-minute cuteness and cuddling. Yes, Santa Paws came! I hope your holiday was bright and merry. My favorite gift was our trip to Show Low […]

Peoria Calderwood Butte Preserve

Kuma on trail

  Have you been enjoying this cool weather? Wow – feels like winter! I want to go climb mountains, but my ankle is still giving me troubles. I keep getting the zoomies and reinjuring it. Mom says go gentle, but my Shiba brain takes over. I’m out walking, and we looked for an easy hike […]

The Birthing Cave in Sedona, AZ

Kuma made it to the Birthing Cave

Happy Howlween my friends! I hope you have a safe, fun, and healthy one. As I mentioned on Facebook and Instagram, I sprained my back, right ankle. I wasn’t doing anything spectacular but walking the neighborhood and stepped off the curb wrong. Go figure! Thankfully, I did it after our recent visit up to Sedona […]

A Fall Day in Flagstaff

Kuma at the Arboretum

  Ah. I think fall is finally here to stay! We’ve had the screen doors open, letting in the cool, refreshing air. In hopes of seeing some fall color, we headed up to Flagstaff for the day. We got up at O-Dark-Thirty, aka, really early to beat the traffic and got to Munds Park in […]

Agua Fria Conservation

Kuma tries a new trail

What is up with our weather? Doesn’t Mother Nature know it is fall? We have had some hot days followed by crazy storms and humidity. At least the mornings and evenings are cooling off. I’ll take it. Saturday was a complete rain out, so we headed north on Sunday morning for a hike.  We only […]

Mom’s Birthday Weekend

Kuma's mom with ostriches

  As you know, I just had my 14th birthday. Thank you everyone for the happy wishes! Mom’s birthday is right after mine, and we often celebrate them together, but this year, we didn’t. I had my day up in Prescott hiking around Lynx Lake, and mom went down to Tucson for her day. Since […]

Kuma’s 14th Birthday

Kuma celebrates his birthday

            Happy birthday to me! I turned 14 years old today, but we celebrated all weekend long. I am loved! We kicked off the weekend by going to my all-time favorite lake in Prescott. I’ve blogged about it before, but you can never go wrong with Lynx Lake for a beautiful outing whether you are […]

Kuma Returns to the Grand Mesa, CO

One of many lakes

I hope you found my last blog informative and helpful regarding traveling with doggos. Not every dog is comfortable with adventure travel, so know your dog’s limits and take those into consideration. Even though I turn 14 on the 26th of September, I am still up for exploring! While we were recently in Grand Junction, […]

Canyon View Park in Grand Junction, CO

Kuma at Canyon View Park

  Happy Labor Day! In all honesty, I don’t really know what Labor Day is, but we always have some tasty BBQ, so it is a good holiday in my books.  Dad would normally go for a long weekend overland trip with guy friends, but his back is still healing. He’s doing great, but he […]
