Life with a GSP


I have so much that needs to be done today. Instead I'm sitting on the couch with a sleeping dog. 😂 Harley makes it impossible to get stuff done at times. She's either in the way or demanding attention. Then sometimes she's just a sweet clingy dog that needs her support human. 😂 #ob1699 #adventureisnecessary #overlandbound @riggedfordirt @overlandbound #germanShorthairedPointer #HarleytheGSP #Gspoftheday#GSPofInstagram #gspdogsofinstagram #gspcommunity #birddogsofInstagram #birddoglife #adventuredog #huntingdog

Cave Creek vacation

Sleepy puppy

Regenerating her crackhead energy

Sweet little girl, she had a rough week. For the first time in her life, she spent three full days away from everyone in her family. We had to board her this week for a family event where we couldn’t bring her with us. So we traveled from Kingman down to Cave Creek, visiting Scottsdale, Goodyear, and Carefree in the process. She did good at the pet boarding, didn’t get in any trouble, had no scrapes or bumps, she did sleep the entire day after getting home then ate a bag of dog food, and she’s even more of a velcro dog than before! Poor Harley, I promise we won’t board you again… this year! 

First day at doggy daycare

The drive home was traumatic 

She does not believe in personal space!

Weekly update


What a week! I've been feeling under the weather for so long that I can't even remember how long I've felt under the weather. Then it turned into an actual illness that had me in bed for an entire day. Luckily I'm feeling better, took a shower, and ran some errands. Had this crazy dog by my side the whole time, and she ran around town with me today. She can be a good dog when she wants to be. Other times she is a "crackhead" on a multi-day bender. #ob1699 #adventureisnecessary #overlandbound @riggedfordirt @overlandbound #germanShorthairedPointer

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! 
Spending the day  with the daughter, and new friends. It's great being closer to her than living in Oklahoma (2 hours is a lot easier than 14hrs!) had a great day, met some cool new people. 
Looking forward to a bright future! Just have to make it through the holidays 😂 #desertlife #offgrid #adventure #wonderlust #overlandadventure #itwitb #exploremore #expeditionportal #overlandlife #outdoorproject #wildernessnation #roamtheearth #adventurerig #goneoutdoors #awakenthesoul #amongthewild #beardedoverlord #optoutside #livebearded 🍻 to new plans!

Our adventures today.

We took the day and went looking for some adventure. We went for a drive to Valley of Fire in Nevada, and while making the trek decided to checkout some of the coves and marinas along Lake Mead. 

We saw some sheep…

And watched the dog go for a swim. 😂 

It was a great day. We're glad we were able to get away and spend some quality time together before the craziness of the holidays.

A quick adventure yesterday.

Got to take a drive into Vegas yesterday, I'm really out of practice driving at night in Vegas traffic! I missed Oklahoma's slower pace for sure! 
It was good drive all in all. I stopped to checkout the sunset over the Colorado River, not many people realize that this section of the 93/11 is actually a continuation of the Grand Canyon. 

The trip was to go pick up the wife after her two week trip in Alaska. I'm bummed I couldn't go, but I'm glad she had a great visit with family. After the stressful past five years she deserved it!

Now she also brought a 100lb tote full of fresh produce and salmon with her! Going to feast like kings the next few weeks. 😜 

Meanwhile the puppy was peacefully sleeping at the dog sitters. 😂

An evening at home.

Harley the wonder dog… she wonders why I won't give her more cheese? 😂 it's been a busy week, and she's had to deal with some change so things have been stressful for her, but she gets to share my cheese with me at night, so she's happy. 😂
