Some noteworthy changes

You'll notice some changes coming to the blog. I'm including more links to articles I'm sharing on Twitter, along with my original content from Instagram. I haven't forgotten about a podcast, still working on making it something not cringeworthy... just awkward!

I’ve posted this picture in the past, but today I had to post it again. Our little bear (the one in the bucket) died today. She was a great dog, almost nine years old, we’ll miss her.

Sadly we lost a family member today...

A little dramatic I know. We lost one of our Ranch dogs today. A sweet German Healer mix named Bear. She was nine years old and Franken-daughters favorite. She'll be missed. 

And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul

In other news. 

Last week we had a turn in temperature, finally bringing some much needed snow to our local mountains. 

We also found a new pup someone had abandoned in the desert. He’s a sweet adolescent Rottweiler male. No food issues and behaves nicely with our other pups. We’ll ensure he’s kept fed and safe for as long as he chooses this place as home. 

We also had a chance to hang out at the Lake Havasu Balloon Festival. Franken-daughter wa running the lights for the main stage Friday night. 

While I walked around and tasted some fair food. 

It was a good night, and a good end to a long week. 

Had a chance to talk with the neighbors last night. They are very concerned about the geopolitical environment that seems to be everywhere right now. It was a good talk. #overlandbound #ob1699 #wildernessaddiction #wearethewild #itwitb
