Sunny Saturday #18-”The Mountains Were Calling…”
After a bout of internet “technical difficulties” and some adventures, we’re back. Sunny will turn 7 months old this week and is losing his puppy looks to turn into a handsome big dog. He still has boundless puppy energy, so we’re always on the quest for activities to burn that energy off. (A tired dog …

Sunny Saturday #8-”The Great Outdoors”
Sunny made a full recovery from last week’s bug and bounced back with twice as much energy. He’s growing so quickly and turning into a very athletic dog. He’s built to run: big barrel chest with a slighter back end. To channel some of his energy, we though this week was a good time to …
One From The Past
While organizing my photo library I came across this one, from a year ago, in the archives. We had a 5 hour hike in the mountains that day. Kona probably put on twice as much milage as we did with his extra exploring as we hiked. As soon as we got home, he had dinner and …
Dogless Nature
A trip to the Channel Islands National Park provided plenty of nature, but sadly no dogs. With our temporarily dogless situation, we decided to take some time and visit the islands, which are an hour off the coast of Santa Barbara. Crossing the channel you are likely to see whales migrating, seals, sea lions and …

Every week we try to get out for a hike, and Kona was eager to get out this morning. He woke up raring to go…. This week’s destination was Stough Canyon, a beautiful canyon nestled in the Verdugo Mountains. There is no shade on the trail, so we got an early start. Luckily, there was …
