At Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center in New Mexico, something unexpected has been unfolding in the desert — a small dog named Vibria has begun what viewers are calling an ongoing underground construction project.
What started as simple digging behavior has evolved into a multi-entrance tunnel system, capturing attention from viewers following the progress like a live homestead build series.

🌵 Vibria’s Underground “Earth House” Project in the Desert
Vibria, our desert dog, has officially escalated her digging project into what we’re now calling an underground earth house construction site 🐶🏜️
What started as playful digging has turned into a full-scale burrow-style project.
🐶 What Is Vibria Doing?
We’ve noticed:
Constant digging in the same area
Expanding tunnels
Deepening burrow structure
Strong “construction-level” behavior
Is she just digging… or building something?
🏗️ The “Earth House” Theory
Vibria’s Underground Earth House Project
It includes:
Multiple digging zones
Expanding tunnel direction
Strategic dirt relocation (yes, she moves it intentionally)
😂 AI Sneak Peek (Funny Version)
To add a little humor to Vibria’s “earth house” theory, we used AI to imagine what her finished underground home might look like…
The result was surprisingly simple — and honestly kind of perfect 😄
The AI showed:
A small underground living room
A worn-out couch
A single lamp glowing softly
An old TV sitting in the corner
No fancy mansion. No luxury burrow.
Just a very “minimalist desert dog lifestyle” setup… which somehow feels exactly like Vibria would approve of 🐶🏜️
🌵 Off-Grid Life Context
This is all happening within our off-grid homestead and creative space operated under Plateau Hame de Colquhoun LLC and shared through Colquhoun Entertainment.
We document real desert life, animals, music, and daily off-grid living experiences.
Life Off-Grid With a Desert Rescue Dog Pack at Plateau Hame de Colquhoun
Living off-grid in the high desert changes how you see animals. Dogs are not just pets here — they are companions, early-warning systems, shadows in the dust, and family members who adapt to wind, silence, heat, and long open land.
At Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, our lives are intertwined with four rescue dogs: Dreugan, Persephone, Vibria, and Lurch. Each came from a completely different situation. Each carries a different temperament. Together, they formed a working desert pack.
This is the real story of off-grid desert living with rescue dogs — the challenges, the loyalty, the escape artistry, and the personalities that make homestead life unforgettable.
Meet the Desert Pack
🐺 Dreugan — The Blue-Eyed Vocal Husky Rottweiler (Turned 5 on Jan 1)
Dreugan and Persephone
Dreugan is our oldest and biggest dog, with piercing blue eyes set against jet-black fur. He is extremely vocal — so vocal that other dogs and even people sometimes misunderstand his intentions.
We picked Dreugan up at just 4 weeks old from a backyard breeder. Two puppies remained. One was friendly and outgoing. Dreugan was hiding, timid, unsure. We chose the one who needed us more.
He grew into:
A momma’s boy who doesn’t like losing sight of me
A powerful, independent personality (very Husky)
An escape artist
Affectionate — but on his terms
He has also been the most challenging dog I’ve ever raised. Strong-willed. Smart. Emotional. Loyal.
🐾 Persephone — The Shelter Rescue Who Chose the Pack (Turned 4 in December)
Persephone
Persephone belongs to our daughter but spends most of her time with us. Rescued from a local animal shelter, she prefers the company of the pack while her mom is at work.
She is:
Social and adaptable
Calm inside the group dynamic
Happiest when surrounded by the other dogs
She chose the desert pack as much as we chose her.
🐕 Vibria — Found in a Box in a Ditch (Almost 2)
Vibria and Dreugan
Vibria and two littermates were found in a box in a ditch on Calhoun Street in Roswell. The vet estimated she was about 3 weeks old.
Raised from nearly nothing, she became:
A dog who loves almost everyone
Completely attached to us
A fence-climbing escape artist if separated
She had the smallest beginning and grew into the most socially fearless dog in the pack.
🐶 Lurch — The Fourth Home and Final Stop (Adopted Last September)
Lurch
Lurch came from Minnesota. He was my dad’s dog, but due to health reasons, my parents couldn’t keep him. We became his fourth home — and his last.
He wouldn’t respond to his old names (Tippy, Arrow). Too many homes. Too many resets. We renamed him Lurch.
He is:
Wary of strangers
Deeply affectionate once he trusts you
Learning what stability feels like
We’ve set September as his birthday month — a fresh start.
What Off-Grid Desert Life Teaches You About Dogs
Living in the desert with a dog pack teaches you things most people never see:
Dogs develop territory awareness naturally
Pack hierarchy forms without force
Escape artistry is common with intelligent breeds
Vocal dogs are often misunderstood
Rescue dogs carry emotional histories
Loyalty in a remote place becomes very visible
Dogs adapt to desert heat, wind, and silence better than people
Why Rescue Dogs Thrive in Homestead and Off-Grid Living
Rescue dogs often do incredibly well in off-grid and homestead environments because:
They bond strongly to “their people”
They value space and freedom
They become guardians of land and routine
They form deep pack relationships
They are incredibly resilient
Adopt-don’t-shop isn’t a slogan here. It’s visible every day.
The Best Birthday Gift I Ever Received — 5 Years Ago Today
Five years ago today I got the best birthday gift I’ve ever had.
A puppy.
We named him **Dreugan**.
He was small, clumsy, and full of opinions from the very beginning — and I’m pretty sure he believed he owned me within the first 10 minutes.
Fast-forward to now and he still does.
Dreugan has:
* escaped more times than I can count * broken my finger * dragged me across a road * accidentally bitten me during play * and worried me half to death on several occasions
And yet… he is still my boy.
My shadow. My alarm system. My protector.
Out here living off-grid, animals aren’t just pets. They become part of your daily survival, your routine, and honestly your emotional grounding. He watches everything, notices everything, and somehow always knows before I do when something isn’t right.
He may be chaos on four legs — but he’s loyal chaos.
Looking back at the “then” pictures and comparing them to now, it’s hard to believe how fast five years went by. Puppies grow up, but the bond doesn’t change.
