A Day at Bismarck Lake

A great day

Today is Memorial Day. Have you enjoyed your long weekend? I hope at some point you’ve taken time to appreciate the lives lost—human and canine—to ensure our freedoms. I am grateful! We originally were going to camp, but Mom needed to do some work yesterday. Instead, we headed up for the day to one of […]

Surprises in the Northwest Desert of AZ

Greeters at Oatman

  I can hardly believe we are approaching the Memorial Day weekend already. I don’t know what my family has planned yet, but you will read about it! I wanted to wrap up Mom and Dad’s trip to Bullhead City, Arizona today. Should you ever go, they recommend the Holiday Inn Express. The hotel is […]

A Weekend in Bullhead City, AZ

The Riverwalk

  I am bummed to say I was not included in this weekend’s getaway. The temperatures rose too high, so I stayed home with my brother. I’m glad Mom got to go and celebrate since she’s always looking after us. Mom and Dad headed to Bullhead City, Arizona, by going through Wickenburg and connecting to […]

Bullfrog Pond

Bullfrog Pond

I hope you enjoyed our cooler temperatures this past weekend. Looks like we might be heating up. Tis that time of year! Looking for something easy for the entire family with a neat surprise at the end? I’ve got the spot for you: Bullfrog Pond. Yes, a pond in the desert…right in town. It is […]

A Day at Horseshoe Lake

Horseshoe Lake Dam falls

  We just celebrated Daddy’s birthday over the course of several days. Hey, he’s worth a few days. Woof! The highlight for me was spending the day at Horseshoe Lake, just 13 miles outside of Carefree, Arizona. You’d have to ask Daddy what he enjoyed most. We drove out East on Carefree Highway through Cave […]

Saguaro National Park East in Tucson

Great day in Tucson

  If you read my blog last week, you know my family took me down to Tucson for the day. We discovered a great park and enjoyed a picnic by the pond. On our way out of Agua Caliente Park, we saw a sign for Saguaro National Park. This confused Dad for a moment because […]

Agua Caliente Park in Tucson

A beautiful park in Tucson

  Hello dear readers! I’m pleased to report my ankle swelling is down, and so is my pain. I’m walking better thanks to the cold-laser therapy. Now, if I would just stop getting the zoomies, I might have a shot at it healing 100 percent. We celebrate by heading down south for a change to […]

Dynamite Park & Creekside Patio Grill

A super-sized Saguaro

  I hope you had a nice Easter weekend. Ours didn’t start off too great. Because of my tweaked ankle and weak hips, I slipped on the stairs. I could hardly walk. Poor Mom was freaked out. Off to the emergency vet we went. Blue Pearl Vet Med in Scottsdale was the only one without […]

Third Time is a Charm

Kuma on Go John Trail

  The sun was out this weekend, and the wind wasn’t too strong. We were glad because we are over all the rain and wind! Yes, we are grateful for the beautiful flowers, but enough is enough! Anyway, we were gung-ho to hike the Bobcat trail near the house, but it was a bust. With […]

A Hike in the Superstitions with Superblooms

Wildflowers galore

  Just when we think the flowers cannot get any prettier, they do! What an amazing wildflower season this is turning out to be. I’m getting ahead of myself, but if you haven’t seen them yet, this might be a scenic drive for you. We set out to go hiking at the Lost Dutchman State […]
