Hey guys – Rex here with you this week. Well, our vacation finally ended. We did have a good time but were super happy to be back home with mom and dad. And boy, have we had a fun week. My sister Isla has come home as a new dog! She has lost weight and is acting like the Isla from before she had valley fever! Of course, that means more attitude too, but It’s what we love about her! Keep reading to find out more about Isla’s feistiness and about our homecoming week fun!!

Hey everyone! Isla here for the week. Guess what? Mom and dad totally ditched us and went on vacation without us. Rude, right? But, they made it up to us by sending us to this cool place where we got to hang out with new buddies, explore outside, and just have a blast. Plus, they made sure to fill us in on all their vacay stories, so we didn’t feel left out. Check out all the details of our epic week!

Hi there friends. Rex here with you this week. Our week was a crazy week. Mom had us doing many different things, and her week was even more crazy. Our walks have been longer every morning now that the weather is finally cooler out. And we have noticed the coyotes are back – so that means we can track them in the mornings! Not really but we pretend to so we can worry mom. And guess what? We are having a walking challenge for the month of November – stay tuned for more details on that! Keep reading to find out more about our crazy week!

Hey guys – Isla here with you this week! It’s been quite an exciting October week. We have had lots of great walks with all the cooler weather.

I’ll get into more of all of these throughout my updates. Keep reading to find out more about our fall October adventures from this week!

Hey guys! Rex back here with you this week. The temperatures have finally cooled off, so we have had longer walks and more outside time!

Hey guys. Isla here with you this week. And boy did we have an exciting week. I’m so glad that Rex and I switched weeks because now I get to tell you about all our fun this week! This last week was the first week of autumn, but we didn’t really have cooler temperatures yet. But that didn’t ruin our fun. We did have lots of bunnies, lots of lizards, a sad find on one of our walks, a mistaken identity and loads of water fun for my brother. And that was just the start of everything! Keep reading to find out how much fun our Autumn week was!!

Hey friends. Rex here with you this week. Did you know that last Saturday was International Dog Day? It was a celebration for dogs all around the world!

Rex here with our weekly re-cap. We finally had rain! It’s been four long months since it rained here. And this week a little bit of our much needed rain arrived. Sadly it was short lived, but any little bit helps. With the rain comes the monsoons with lots of lightning and thunder. Even though most of them haven’t hit us, there has still been a lot of lightening and a little bit of thunder. Continue reading to find out more about how the monsoons have affected us!!

Isla here with our weekly recap! It’s creature feature week!! Plus, it’s been super-hot here. Is it hot where you are? What are you doing to beat the heat?

Squirrel week. When we moved to Arizona, we didn’t see any squirrels for a long time. Now we see them almost every morning when we walk. An odd fact about them here is that where we live now, they don’t build nests up in trees, they live in holes in the ground. Isla and Rex don’t care where they live – as long as they can watch and try to chase them! Read more for our exciting squirrel week adventures!
