Before I jump into my blog, I want to say thank you to all the fire fighters nationwide who face enormous danger to save property, people and pets. This year has been riddled with horrific fires in states like Arizona, Colorado, California and Oregon. It breaks my Shiba heart to know beautiful places have burned […]
Kuma’s snow shoeing trip to Lake Zimmerman, Colorado
Here in Phoenix, spring comes early, and we only have a little bit of winter left. As the wild flowers start to pop up here, other parts of the country, like Colorado, can have snow through May. Early spring makes my mom happy, but I do miss the snow and am always glad when we […]
Watchable Wildlife Trail – Kuma goes snow shoeing in Flagstaff
Christmas in Arizona is a little different than when we lived in Colorado. Wintertime in Loveland, Colorado, is cold and snowy most of the time, especially around Christmas. We started a Christmas tradition of snow showing that we have done for 11 years now. Finding snow in Arizona is usually a challenge due to our […]
Snow in Phoenix!
Since moving to Phoenix, I have only seen snow when we head up to the mountains. It is just too hot and dry down here in the valley…so I thought! I had just eaten my breakfast when I heard a big BOOM. Thunder in February? What was going on? By the time I got […]
Kuma heads to Flagstaff for the snow
I couldn’t believe my eyes. My folks were getting all our snow gear out again for the second time in one week. Was I dreaming? Awoof! This time, we kept driving a little further on I-17 north of Phoenix and past the Sedona exit. That typically means Flagstaff, so I settled in my bed […]
Kuma enjoys snow in Sedona
This year is already great! We began 2019 by heading up to Sedona. We hit the road early, and we hardly saw a soul on I-17 north of Phoenix. My mom said people were sleeping off their new year’s celebrations. Even when we drove through Oak Canyon, the traffic was very light. We didn’t have […]
Sedona gets snow, and Kuma is on his way!
What a winter! Phoenix, like California, has gotten a ton of rain storms with colder than normal temps and that means lots of snow up north. Woof! Rain isn’t much fun; I don’t like getting the water in my ears. Hey, don’t judge me! Snow, on the other hand, is a blast; I love […]
Kuma goes snow shoeing in Flagstaff!
I am totally grooving on living in Arizona! When we first moved here in a couple of years ago, I wasn’t so sure. The ground got awful hot and it bit me a few times with these stickers in my paws. So rude, you know? I should have known better than to question my humans, […]
Kuma Finds Snow at the Woodchute Trail
Because of lots of rain down here in the Phoenix valley, my family and I were on another S.O.S. (search of snow) mission recently, and we found it on the Woodchute Trail in Prescott, Arizona. Prescott is northwest of Phoenix about an hour or so, and we got to the Woodchute Trail #102 by taking […]
Snow Day in Flagstaff, AZ
Our S.O.S. mission (in search of snow) was successful! On New Year’s Eve day, my family and I headed up north to Flagstaff. Good thing because it was nothing but wet rain here in Phoenix. The dreary, dark day good for nothing but a nice long nap turned to a most wonderful adventure at higher […]
