The Grasshopper Hunter

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

When we headed up to Williams for the week, we stayed at the Railside RV Park. Upon arrival, I headed inside to check us in, and Munchkin took the dogs for a little walk/bathroom break. Little did we know that we were in for an unexpected surprise…. After checking us in, I went to get Munchkin only to find her looking a little flustered and covered in dirt. Apparently, the dogs gave her a bit of a tug, and she ended up doing a face plant and slide. Thankfully, she was in the grass when this happened, so she was…

Tissues, Toilet Paper, and Cardboard Tubes?

Posted in Family

My dogs are a little crazy. In many households, one dog will have some crazy quirk, but it’s not shared by his canine companions. That is not the case at our house. Our two pups share almost all of their crazy quirks. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that they feed off each other’s quirks which ultimately makes it appear like they’re trying to out do each other. Did I mention they’re a little crazy? Today, they were fighting over a cardboard tube (you know from toilet paper or paper towels?). They kept snagging the tube from…

Cave Creek Regional Park Wildlife

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

One of the things that Munchkin wanted to do for her birthday was go to the zoo or the aquarium. To do this, we could either head over to the San Diego area or over to the Phoenix area. We wanted to take a long weekend trip instead of just heading over for the day. Because we really enjoy camping at Cave Creek Regional Campground, we chose to head over to the Phoenix area from Thursday to Sunday. The trip had a bit of a rocky start as I got hit with a migraine on Wednesday evening after we finished…

Accepting the Uncertainty of Military Life

Posted in Family, Military Life, and Photography

Over the past year, we’ve had a great deal of uncertainty enter our lives. With D having 2 back surgeries, we didn’t know if he’d recover enough to continue his career in the Marine Corps. The truth is, we’re still not completely certain where we stand with that as he’s still on limited duty and hasn’t fully recovered from the last back surgery. We were told we were heading to Japan as our next duty station, so we went through the process of getting ready for that only to have D denied (as expected) due to his medical situation. Now,…

My Dogs’ Crazy Obsessions

Posted in Family, and Photography

Some dogs are obsessed with bones or meat. My dogs? Well, they’re obsessed with fruits and veggies. As soon as someone starts eating an apple, they come very close and start staring. They want that apple. If they see me peeling sweet potatoes, they go crazy. I use raw sweet potatoes as treats when they need to go to their crates. (They are crated when we leave the house for their safety and the safety of our house.) Squash, lettuce, tomatoes, citrus fruit… We have yet to see a veggie or fruit they didn’t like. Another obsession which isn’t quite…
