**Morning Routines at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**
Living off-grid at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center comes with its unique set of challenges and quirks, especially when it involves our furry family members. My mornings are anything but ordinary, thanks to Weillow, our 14-year-old dog with early-stage dementia.
Every day begins the same way: I let the dogs out, then crawl back into the warm bed, delaying the inevitable until I need to start the heat. But Weillow has her own agenda. She paces back and forth, ensuring I don’t stay in bed too long. It’s her way of telling me she needs to go outside immediately—or else!
Once she’s done her business, I make her stay out longer than she’d like, just to be sure. My hope is that she’ll return to her warm bed and settle down for a few more hours until it’s warmer outside. But Weillow has other plans.
Within 15 to 30 minutes, she starts pacing again, convincing me she needs to go out—despite just having been outside. Even when I know she’s fine, I still get up, just in case. The real kicker? Once I’m up, she happily goes back to her bed to sleep. It’s her little morning game to get me moving.
The other dogs have caught on to her antics. As soon as I try to send Weillow back to bed, they decide it’s their turn to shower me with kisses and sit on me, ensuring I stay up for good.
These little routines, while tiring, are part of what makes life here so special. Whether it’s caring for our dogs, managing the campground, or enjoying the peaceful desert mornings, every moment adds to the charm of life at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center.
Weillow may be aging, but her determination to keep me on my toes (or out of bed) reminds me to cherish these moments. It’s a reminder that even in the simplicity of daily routines, there’s love, laughter, and a lot of wet noses to keep things interesting.

Celebrating Weillow’s 14th Birthday: A Heartfelt Tribute to My Loyal Senior Rescue Dog
Today, we’re celebrating a very special birthday—our beloved Weillow turns 14! Though we don’t know her exact birthdate, we mark this day every Halloween in honor of her resilience and companionship. Happy Birthday, sweet girl!
As she’s grown older, Weillow has faced a few health battles. She now has cancer on her face, deals with hip issues, and is beginning to show signs of dementia. Yet, every day with her is a gift, and we’re treasuring this special milestone.
Weillow has been by my side through it all. She was with me during tough times, bright days, college classes, and even helped out at the Drop-In Center. She’s moved homes, states, and seasons of life with me—from being a rescued puppy, thin and fearful, to a loving companion who’s shared in every step of my journey.
From our first days together, building her trust and watching her spirit come alive, to our life now in New Mexico with Brent, Weillow has been my constant. Knowing our time together may be limited is difficult, but for now, we’re celebrating her life, her strength, and her unwavering love.
