Monday usually means mom and dad go to work but not today. It’s a holiday to honor a great man, and we spent it going out on an adventure. We packed up the car with hiking gear and a picnic and headed north on I-17. We went just past the Sunset rest area to […]
A Poem by Kuma the dog
You may have noticed that I didn’t post an adventure on Monday like I usually do. Mom was working this weekend, so we didn’t have a big adventure. We thought we would take a stab at a poem together. Mom has been writing poetry since she was a little girl. I’m pretty new to it; […]
Happy New Year from Sedona, AZ
I must say I kind of miss the holidays and hanging out with my family. My folks had time off, so we were able to have mid-week adventures along with our weekend activities. I got spoiled, but when mom packed up all the Christmas decorations, I knew that meant going back to normal soon. We […]
Kuma takes on Dixie Mountain
I’ve always been on the tall side for a Shiba Inu. Mom says I take after her and have long legs. Oh, okay. Last vet checkup, though, I weighed in at 38 pounds. That made my mom concerned and sad. She knows being sick all last year affected me, too. We both gained weight as […]
Kuma is Thankful this Thanksgiving
I hope you had an awesome turkey day! Our Thanksgiving week started off with me going to a special vet. I’ve had two lumps (one on the right front leg and one on the right back leg near my knee) growing that were concerning my mom. She took me to Dr. Grossman a couple […]
Kuma enjoys the Sonoran Preserve
This is the happiest season of all! I’m not talking about Christmas but fall and winter in Phoenix. Oh, how I love the cooler temps that allow us to hike without overheating. You try hiking in the desert with a heavy coat on and see how you do! Anyway, every day I eagerly await my […]
Kuma explores Black Canyon National Recreational Trail
Some days I miss the snowy, cold days of Colorado, but not right now. Our weather has been perfect! With the comfortable temps, we have been exploring more hiking trails nearby. I thought when we got on the I-17 north we would be driving for over an hour, but we weren’t heading to the hills; […]
The Snowy Range Mountain Scenic Byway
Our cooler weather with windy conditions makes me think back to a trip we made to Wyoming when we lived in Northern Colorado. Have you ever been to Wyoming…the land of wide-open spaces? The entire state has less people than Phoenix, Arizona (579,315 as of 2017) and is known for its expansive blue skies. We […]
Trekking through Tramonto with Kuma
Oh, happy days! We are having a nice fall with cooler temperatures. This means me and my family can stay local, and we did just that this weekend. We decided trekking through Tramonto was in order. Tramonto is a neighborhood on the very north edge of Phoenix. In fact, we are just shy of […]
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 […]
