My mom just got done reading Following Atticus by Tom Ryan. This is an older book but is definitely worth the read. It is categorized as a memoir, but it is full of adventures big and small. It is warm, transparent, real, funny, and offers the reader wonderful reminders of the importance of relationships: human […]
Kuma tours Southern Colorado
My folks packed up their suitcases, and I was eager to discover where we were headed. These weren’t the small camping bags; these were the traveling and hoteling kind of bags. What great adventure lied before me? What yummy human food would I get to eat? I patiently waited for my travel leash, but they […]
Mountain lion attack in Tramonto
Being on the north end of Phoenix certainly has its advantages. We tend to be a little cooler than downtown, and we don’t usually get the haboobs or dust storms. We have lots of wonderful open space—although mom says that will be changing as the state is selling off massive amounts to pay teachers—and […]
The Secret Lives of Pets I & II – Movie Review
My mom was pretty excited when The Secret Lives of Pets #2 came out recently. Before I share my take on it, I better back up and give you a quick overview of #1. The Secret Lives of Pets #1 came out in 2016 and follows the quiet life of a terrier named Max until […]
Kuma goes canoeing on Clear Creek, League City TX
I certainly don’t miss the humidity or bugs of Texas, but I do miss the water, especially when it is hot and dry here in Phoenix. We lived in an awesome neighborhood in League City that had a park just four houses away, and it not only had a lake but river access. We could […]
Kuma in Steamboat Springs, Colorado
Ugh. June is proving to be a hot month here in Phoenix. We are only a couple weeks into it, and I already hurt my paw. I keep forgetting rock here isn’t friendly. It’s not smooth like Colorado; it is rough and scratches you up something fierce. This past weekend I was nursing a sore […]
Concert in the Park & Sedona trip
May is a great month! Every Friday, Anthem Park hosts concerts on Friday evenings from 7 to 9 pm. Humans and dogs ascend with picnics to listen to tunes and enjoy the evening. For me, it means two visits to the park in one day! Yeah baby! I love sniffing replies to the messages […]
Memorial Day 2019
I love three-day weekends! It means more adventures! My dad packed up the Pathfinder with all his gear, including a sleeping bag. I haven’t seen that thing since we got the camper trailer. No bother; I eagerly awaited what incredible adventure lie before me. Then it happened – he left without me! I watched him […]
Kuma says, “Let it snow!”
It is almost the end of May here in Phoenix; yet, it is snowing up north. The hot season usually arrives by now, but we are enjoying cool temperatures. I say, “Let it snow!” Awoof! Cloudy days like today give me a chance to reminisce about snow adventures of days gone by. One such outing […]
Kuma goes wild
Before you read any further, let me warn you that this blog is graphic and could be disturbing to some. There, I said it. Now, let me rewind and start at the beginning… My mom let me outside as usual. It was that time of day when the sun is weak, but the moon isn’t […]
