Kids' Oval - Santee, CA

Our neighbors across the stream have a couple of boys ages about 6yo and 3yo. As soon as they unhooked, the daddy set up a semi-oval track with little orange cones around their rig. The cones reflected a clear pathway between the vegetation, stream. roadway and the RV. The boys have bikes and a John Deere tractor with attached wagon. They drive around and around keeping inside the coned oval and stopping for parental traffic in and out of the RV. They even used the tractor wagon to help carry firewood from the truck out front to the fire pit in the back. What a creative and safe way to provide activity for the boys while the parents enjoy the space on the outside of the oval.

Karma Stiff Joints - Santee, CA

A few years back, we started Karma on a chewable joint medicine in anticipation of her aging process. Since she is crazy for her ball and will chase it at top speed every time it’s thrown, we thought this might be good preventative care. Well, Ruthi wasn’t able to get a refill in time and Karma went about a week without the twice daily dosage. Trips to the park during this time reflected that Karma is indeed moving into the elderly phase (she turns 8 in a few days). After a few long fast runs, she stopped being interested in anything that required her to go very far. She took her ball to another owner who didn’t have a “chucker” and therefore wasn’t able to throw the ball very far.

We finally got her refills and started her back on the medicine. After about 1 week to 10 days, Karma was back chasing the ball at full speed as far as Ruthi could “chuck” it. So Super Joint Enhancer form Pet Meds does indeed enhance joints in older dogs. We’ll never be without moving forward.

Native Born Californians - Santee, CA

An observation – When driving around Southern California (or anywhere in CA, for that matter) you can tell if the walkers / street crossers / mall joggers are Native-born Californian or immigrants from other states/countries. How? You may ask. Well, Native Californians just walk out and across through fares without a look either way. They just strut straight ahead and leave it to traffic to accommodate them. If a pedestrian does stop and look before venturing out, you know for sure that they weren’t raised here in California. It makes for very careful driving and constant scanning for people near the roadways. You just never know when someone will walk right out in front of the car/truck.

Frosty Paws - Santee, CA

It has been a long while since Karma has had to deal with snow or cold ground. So, today when her paws hit the frost covered grass, she started bouncing like a pogo stick. Really she was jumping straight up over and over again until she got to a frost free section. Ruthi was laughing so hard it was hard for her to hold on to the leash.

Camp Bow Wow - El Cajon, CA

The Camper of the Month for December is Karma!!

Karma has been coming to Camp Bow Wow since 2008! She is such a friendly girl and we love her visits to Camp. Her and her family travel a lot so we only get to play with her for periods at a time, but she always jumps right back in to the Camp family each time she comes back to San Diego! Karma likes to hang out in the yards and watch all the high energy pups run around and play. And she is always ready to enjoy time with her favorite Camp Counselors too.
