Some of My Favorite Adventures – Part I

Kuma snowshoeing with his mom

We hope you and your family had a healthy and happy Thanksgiving. Wasn’t the weather grand? We were grateful for cooler weather and clouds, making it feel like the holidays. Mom appreciated it since she was the one doing all the cooking. Oh, how I love turkey. Mom spent the long weekend transforming our house […]

Rezzonico Park in Verde Valley

Kuma and his mom by Verde River

Did you get some wonderful rain? We sure did, and the temperatures finally feel like November. I’m grateful! I can’t believe this is Thanksgiving week. What are your plans? We’ll go on some family walks and enjoy some turkey.  Of course, Mom will transform the house into a Christmas wonderland. I supervise, and Mowgli helps […]

Aspen Loop Trail in Flagstaff

We found some color

What happened to fall? We began cooling off, and then the heat returned. Ugh! Thankfully, the weather is quite different up North. We were on a mission to see some fall color for Mom, and she found a hike we haven’t done before through aspen groves. Seemed perfect! The hike is called the Aspen Loop […]

Kuma’s Last Day in Show Low, AZ

A beautiful day

Seems like a Coon’s Age since I was in Show Low, but the great thing about adventures is you can continue to relive them through memories and dreams. I’ve been clinging to visions of cooler weather, and we may just get a break this week. Here’s hoping! Show Low is such an easy drive (3 […]

Kuma Continues His Birthday Celebration in Show Low, AZ

A beautiful wetlands

  Even though it is mid-October, I still haven’t finished sharing about my birthday trip to Show Low, Arizona, back in September. I had to pause to wish my Mom a very happy birthday, and here we are getting closer to Halloween. Mom was right—time flies the older you get. I used to eagerly await […]

Mom’s Birthday Trip to Pagosa Springs, CO

Kuma's Mom celebrates her birthday

  I interrupt my regularly scheduled blog to share about Mom’s birthday celebration in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Mom and Dad left me and Mowgli at home this time so they could do more difficult hiking and some human activities. This was the longest they left Mowgli home, so I was the big brother and kept […]

Kuma’s Birthday Celebration in Show Low, AZ

Kuma cools off

    My birthday is actually tomorrow, and I turn 15 years old or 84 ish in dog years. Wow, how did that happen? I was just a pup bounding my way through adventures, and now, well, I’ve slowed down a tad. I am still game for adventures, and Mom and Dad took me to […]

Kinnikinnick Lake

Kinnikinnick Lake

As you know, Mom helps me with blogging about my adventures. Well, her computer crashed hard last week, and Daddy spent days and days trying to fix, repair, reinstall, and get it working again. We are pleased to report it seems to be working again—thank you Daddy! This all meant Mom wasn’t able to do […]

A Doggone Great Day at Dogtown Lake

A great day

What a hot summer we have had. I am quite ready for fall! Thankfully, my folks took me up north this past weekend to cool off. This time we went to Dogtown Lake up near Williams. Although this seems too far for a day trip, it was about the same distance as going to Flagstaff, […]

A Hike Around Mingus Lake

Mingus Lake

  What did you think of my aging tips? I have to live them out every day as I approach 15 years old. I had a really rough couple of days and nights last week, but Mom and Dad made me feel much better by taking me up north. When we had our camper trailer, […]
