On Frenchman Mountain

We picked up Yuma from puppy daycare, Paws-a-Moment, where she enjoyed 24 hours of puppy fun with a pack of dogs while we toured Seattle. One dog in the group was a 110lb. Alaskan Malamute named Kahuna. Those two got along great and played and played. By the end of her visit, Kahuna was Yuma’s [...]

Today was spent exploring Seattle! We rented a car and dropped off Yuma at puppy daycare, then off to see the sights.

The kids were super excited as this was the first time they’d ever experienced this type of travel transportation. Our first day [...]
