Catching Fire! Fall Beauty

THE BEAUY OF THE FALL FOLIAGE FEELS TO ME LIKE I'M CATCHING FIRE!  IT'S BEAUTY LIGHTS UP THE LANDSCAPE IN BLAZING GLORY, MEZMORIZING US LIKE GAZING INTO A FIRE DOES, BUT IT'S FLEETING.  JUST A FEW WEEKS AND IT'S ALL GONE....

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: Falling In Snow With Huskies

Previously I shared a post on our trip with the dogs to Flagstaff, Arizona.  What I didn't share was pictures of my Husky pulling my husband down the snowy hill, with him falling and rolling all the way.  I just had to snap photos and share it with all of you!

It started off innocently, with Icy and her Daddy enjoying the snow at Humphrey's Peak.


Suddenly Icy has the urge to pull as only a Husky can, and Daddy goes DOWN!


He goes down HARD!


Finally, he, recovers and gets up with Icy shaking her head asking "how did I end up with such a clutz for a Dad??


Mommy on the other hand, has no such problem.  She handles both dogs on the snowy hill with grace and flair, BOL!!


Has your dog ever pulled you and dragged you down a snowy hill... or across the county??  Leave us a comment, we want to hear from you!

100 Places To See With Your Dog: Flagstaff, Arizona

Last Thursday the weather in Phoenix was expected to hit 100 degrees.  It's way too early for 100 degrees, so last minute we decided to load the dogs into the car and head North to Flagstaff for beautiful mountains and much cooler weather!  Although it's only 3 hours away, it's nearly 30 degrees cooler in Flagstaff than in Phoenix!  Temps in Phoenix can easily reach 110 degrees in Summer, so it's no surprise that Phoenicians flock to Flagstaff in Summer!

Icy was in heaven with the cool weather in Flagstaff.  Here she is posing amongst the beautiful Aspen trees.  Aspen trees look a lot like White Birch trees.
Flagstaff is largely known for being a fun college town, but high elevation and levels of precipitation provide lots of natural beauty and cooler outdoor activities as well.  You can be skiing in Flagstaff in the morning, and sipping a latte at an outdoor cafe in 70 degree Phoenix weather in the afternoon!  It's the coolest thing!
