Freedom Runs: Our Dogs Living Their Best Desert Life ššµ
Out here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, even our four-legged friends get to enjoy the wide-open desert life. When the weatherās good and the sun starts dipping low, we let the dogs stretch their legs outside the pen ā and they *love* it.
Thereās something magical about watching them chase each other across the sand, barking with excitement, the wind in their fur and the mountains in the distance. Living off-grid means we all appreciate the simple things ā like a good run, a soft breeze, and the laughter that follows.
The dogs remind us daily that freedom doesnāt have to be complicated. Itās about being present, feeling the earth beneath your feet (or paws), and loving every moment of it. š¾

Vibria the Escape Artist: Our Struggle to Keep Her Safe & Contained!
**Vibria the Escape Artist: Our Ongoing Battle to Keep Our Pup Contained**
Vibria, our energetic rescue pup, is now around 6 to 7 months oldāand proving to be quite the escape artist! Despite her small size, sheās mastered the art of slipping through the rails of our fence. To outsmart her, we initially attached a scrub brush to her harness, making her too big to squeeze through. That workedā¦ for a few days. Then, she figured out another way to make her great escape.
Today, we picked up a budget-friendly plastic wind fence to reinforce the existing one. We didnāt have time to snap photos during setup, as we were racing against the setting sun and incoming winds, but Iāll try to grab some tomorrow. Fingers crossed this solution works!
Weāve already made several adjustments to keep Vibria safely containedāfrom reinforcing the fence under the RV to securing the gate she learned to push open. Our original plan was to use chicken wire, but the store was out of the size we needed, and the alternatives werenāt budget-friendly. So, we settled on this plastic fence as our latest attempt.
Check out the video of Vibria enjoying her time running free! Sheās allowed outside when weāre with her, but she has other ideasāsneaking off to the membersā tent, playing chase with the kitties (sometimes catching them for a round of puppy slobbers), and, of course, sneaking some of their food.
Stay tuned for updates on whether this new fence holds up against our little escape artist!

Lizard Hunting Adventures: Dreugan and Amigo’s Desert Expedition
A Desert Adventure: Lizard Hunting with Dreugan and Amigo
Join us on a desert escapade with Dreugan and Amigo as they embark on a thrilling lizard hunting expedition along the mesa’s edge. While adventure awaits, our furry companions learn valuable lessons about obedience and safety in the vast desert landscape.
**A Forbidden Quest:**
Eager to explore beyond the yard, Dreugan and Amigo set their sights on lizard hunting along the mesa. Despite knowing the rules, their curiosity gets the better of them as they venture out of bounds. However, their mischievous escapade is soon interrupted when they spot Anne and me approaching.
**Learning Boundaries:**
As we call out to them, Dreugan and Amigo hesitate but eventually heed our call. While they may have disobeyed, we take the opportunity to reinforce the importance of staying within the designated area. With gentle reminders and stern words, they learn that their safety comes first.
**Training and Rewards:**
Back within the safety of the yard, we extend their freedom for a little longer as a reward for returning promptly. Dreugan, in particular, receives extra attention as we engage in training exercises and reinforce obedience with treats and praise. Despite occasional lapses in judgment, Dreugan’s enthusiasm for learning shines through, reminding us of the joys of working together.
**Balancing Freedom and Safety:**
While we cherish giving our companions the freedom to roam, we’re mindful of the dangers that lurk beyond the confines of our yard. With the threat of loose dogs and Dreugan’s allergies to contend with, keeping them close is paramount. Through boundaries and supervision, we strive to strike a balance between freedom and safety in their desert playground.
**Conclusion:**
As the sun sets on another desert day, Dreugan and Amigo retire with tired but content hearts. While their lizard hunting expedition may have been short-lived, the lessons learned about obedience and safety will endure. As we continue to explore the wonders of the desert together, our bond grows stronger, paving the way for many more adventures to come.
