Yowsa! Not only has the temperature been cold, but the state of Arizona is receiving epic snow amounts up north. At our house tonight, we could see snow flurries. What a winter! Anyway, we couldn’t resist all the fresh powder and headed back up to Munds Park to play. We saw on the morning news […]
Snow Day in Munds Park
If you recall, our New Year’s Day snow shoeing tradition was rained out this year. We had to bail and turn back home. Imagine my surprise after driving for 1 ½ hours only to be back at the same place we started. Very strange indeed! I was quite confused for a few moments, but […]

Happy New Year Snow Shoe
The year 2022 is here! What did you do to ring it in? Me and my folks headed up north to snow shoe. Mowgli, who has been with us a full month now, stayed at home. He seems to like water as he will join mom or dad in the shower (weird, I know), but […]
Kuma Hikes Red Mountain in Snow
Mother Nature certainly has a sense of humor. Just when we thought spring was here to stay, winter returned…with a vengeance! My fans up in Loveland, Colorado, got about 26 inches of snow. Yowsa! Meanwhile here in Arizona, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to head north to go play in the snow one last […]
Snow Day in Flagstaff
It isn’t very often that the weather here in Phoenix forces us to change our plans, but the recent rain meant we couldn’t go for our planned hike on Saturday. No worries because we headed up north to play in the snow instead, and that made me very happy! The desert certainly needs the rain, […]
Kuma enjoys a Snow Day in Flagstaff
One of my favorite things about this time of year is heading up north to play in the snow. Every year right before Christmas, we go on an SOS mission: search of snow. This year was a challenge because we have been quite dry. In fact, we’ve only had 15 days of measurable rain in […]
Hiking Grey Rock in Northern Colorado
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 […]
