#TeethCare

Did you know that we have 42 teeth in our mouths?? Those teeth are made up of four different types, with different purposes…

Incisors are the small teeth in the front that are used to tear meat from a bone and for self-grooming.

Canines are the pointy teeth. These four teeth are used to puncture and hold on to something…especially helpful when playing tug-of-war.

Premolars are located behind the canine teeth and are used for shearing.

Molars are the flat, heavy-duty teeth found in the back of the mouth and are used for grinding and chewing.

Having pearly whites isn’t just fashionable, it’s a sign of good health, as well!

#TearStains

A question that we get frequently is “How do you not have tear stains?”

Guess What?!? We used to! But, not anymore! These two photos of Bruiser were 12 months apart.

We 100% believe it has to do with diet. For a while, we had horrible tear stains. We ate grain free kibble, drank filtered water, and thought we were doing everything right…but the stains around our eyes and mouths just wouldn’t go away.

#HikingTheWave

We hiked to The Wave! It is an amazing sandstone rock formation located on the very Northern edge of Arizona on the slopes of the Coyote Buttes in the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness.

With the growth of social media, this natural wonder has become well known amongst hikers, photographers and even social media influencers for its colorful and unique shapes.

#ChineseElements

What Element are you?

Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal or Water? I am very intrigued by Chinese Medicine and the way it looks at our energy and our health. I’ve frequently sought out different alternative therapies (acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, herbal medicine, etc.) for myself and the pups...with great success.

As a result, I’m constantly into learning new things. I recently learned that our pets can be linked to the Elements, which can help us with knowing how to communicate with them, what to watch out for in their health, even what to feed them…to make them the best versions of themselves!

#SpeciallyAbledPetsDay

Today we celebrate Benji, and pets like him who might face a little extra challenges in their everyday life! Whether it’s blindness, deafness, paralysis or missing limbs, this day is a reminder that no matter the disability, these dogs are very able! They are able to give love, to feel love and to live a healthy and fabulous life!

#BecomingABARKRanger

We hit the adventure trail this weekend! We made our first trip to @MontezumaNPS. That’s #MontezumaCastle directly behind and above us, a five-story 20 room dwelling.

Nothing like a little get away to the beach over the holidays! Although we wish the ocean was a little closer, it makes for a fun road trip!

#JoeysAdventure

Before we said goodbye, we were able to have one last adventure with Joey. We didn’t go far, just adventured around town, but we spent the weekend as a family, making happy memories. With the help of some strong drugs, we were able to make him comfortable. Saturday, he was content just to be by my side, whether that be in my lap or being carried. Sunday was the best day it could have been. He rallied and found the strength to walk and stand on his own four legs. We could not have asked for a better weekend…the strong, determined Joey is the one we will forever remember and hold dear to our hearts. RIP #MyMisterJoey (2/12/2001 - 12/10/2017)

#OptOutside2017

For the Thanksgiving 2017 long weekend, we decided to #OptOutside and go on outdoor adventures three days in a row! We had a great time hiking the White Tank Mountains, kayaking the Salt River & exploring the Wave Cave, all locations only an hour's drive from our home.

#4PeakChallenge2017

It was our second 4 Peak Challenge, and we rocked it! The goal is to the hike to the top of four mountains in our city of Peoria, AZ in one day. From the start line to the finish line, including all the steps in between the mountains, we hiked 13 miles! Mommy wishes she had attached a pedometer to Jax, because the step count would have been off the charts!

#LearnToDockDive

When Mommy & Daddy originally enrolled me in swimming lessons, they never imagined I would turn into the high flying #SuperB that I am today. They have put together a trip down memory lane, showing how I went from a pup who knew nothing about water, to a pup who soars through the air, splashes down, goes under water and emerges triumphant and on a mission to rescue his ball!

We may not really experience Fall here in the desert, but just a couple hours North in Flagstaff, the leaves change, the temperatures drop and it even smells like Fall!
