For a special birthday hike, Owen and his cranky campers take a local hike at the Ernest E. Debs Regional Park in the Montecito Heights area of Los Angeles. This short post features photos of Peanut Lake (Debs Pond) and vast LA views- along with a 'secret' hiker swing.
Dog parks can be fun places for pups to let out energy and socialize with other dogs. This post features Owen's adventures at dog parks in Pasadena. South Pasadena, and Eagle Rock.
Owen splashed in the surf at the Leo Carrillo dogs allowed beach in Malibu, California.
Trail Canyon Falls in Tujunga Canyon offers a mostly flat hiking adventure- until you get to a 40-foot drop to reach the base of the falls. Hikers repel down the series of ropes to reach the canyon floor.
We adopted Henry James "Twinkie" Haas on May 26, 2021 from the Pasadena Humane Society. He is a sweet brother to Owen and Penny, and a wonderful new family member.
