Tip of the Week–Dehydration

Fall has officially arrived in San Diego! The nights will be getting longer and the weather cooler, but not before we have to deal with some warmer weather and those lovely Santa Ana winds.

Although it won’t be as hot or dry as dry as it was in the Summer, it is still extremely important that you keep yourself and your canine friends hydrated!

Last days on Idaho / Wyoming Road Trip

Last days on Idaho / Wyoming Road Trip

Sad to say that we are winding down on our fun road trip!  We have been hiking, swimming, fishing, painting, biking and mommy did a lot of reading! (5 books!)  The water here sure is cold  but we still swam! Sometimes mommy didn’t stay in as long as me–she said something about not being able to feel her legs.  But today we found a couple of lakes that were a little warmer and daddy caught 10 fish and i got REALLY dirty! We have seen bear, wolf, moose, bison, coyote, marmot and a skunk up close and personal!  Never seen
