Adventure Awaits! NELSON’S LANDING

Techatticup Mine

ldorado Canyon or Nelson’s Landing is located at the historical Techatticup Mine. It’s the oldest, richest, and most famous gold mine in Southern Nevada. This is the cover photo location and one of my favorite locations to visit. I love the barn wood, classic trucks, and nostalgia for a background portrait that is often different from normal. I always envision a dog riding shotgun in the front seat of an old truck going on an adventure or just enjoying time spent with his best friend.

Check out their website for information about tours. It is private property so you need to sign in at the gift shop before you explore the property.

Caution [ Be extremely careful of the “jumping cactus” on the property as they will cause your dog a great deal of harm.

If you follow the road past the mine you will end up at Lake Mohave which has a gorgeous overlook and a wonderful spot for a quick dip.

To My Pawrents,

With Mother’s Day and Father’s Day just around the corner, I feel like it’s the right time to tell you how grateful I am to be your 4-legged child. I know you didn’t actually give birth to me. Blood doesn’t matter to me, because we’re much thicker than that… we’re Fur Family.

You keep a roof over my head and kibble in my bowl. For that, I want to THANK YOU

You sing me lullabies and rock me back to sleep after a nightmare. For that, I want to THANK YOU

You take me to the vet to get my shots, fixed me so I didn’t have to endure the pain of childbirth, and clean my teeth so you don’t have to endure the pain of bad breath. For that, I want to THANK YOU

You let me follow you to the bathroom… and the kitchen… and the living room… and then back to the bathroom. For that, I want to THANK YOU.

You scratch that spot right behind my ear and make my leg do that wonderful kicky thing – that’s it, right there, yessssss. For that, I want to THANK YOU.

You clean my puke off the floor when I help myself to the garbage, AND, you still tell me I’m a good boy. For that, I want to THANK YOU.

You put your hand on the pavement before our walks to make sure I don’t burn my paws. For that, I want to THANK YOU

You sleep sideways on the bed, with your legs hanging off, and your head at a weird angle, so that I can be comfortable. For that, I want to THANK YOU

You sit down in front of the window and keep me company while I watch the cars go by, and thank me for alerting you to “intruders” when I bark. For that, I want to THANK YOU (And I now understand the mailman doesn’t want to kill us. Or does he?)

You open the door to let me go out… then let me back in… then let me go out again… you know what? I want to be inside now. For that, I want to THANK YOU

You keep buying me stuffies even though I gut them within minutes and put chunks of sopping-wet fabric in your slipper. For that I want to THANK YOU

You pull poop out of my butt when I chew up some of those stuffies and need an assist. For that, I want to THANK YOU… and apologize.

You cancel plans when I’m curled up on your lap and you don’t have the heart to move me. For that, I want to THANK YOU.

You take me on playdates, to the park, to the beach, and with you on car rides (and you roll down the window so I can catch the air with my mouth!). For that, I want to THANK YOU.

And I know that when I’m old and gray, and it’s time to say goodbye, you’ll put my comfort above your own, and hold my paw until I’m gone. For that, I want to THANK YOU

Meet Ember, a two-year-old chihuahua-miniature pinscher mix who has shown incredible resilience after being hit by a car and left with a broken leg as a stray. He was picked up by Animal Control and taken to The Animal Foundation where he was assessed. Due to the severity of his injuries, transfer to another rescue for specialized treatment was sought. That’s when the Las Vegas Valley Humane Society (LVVHS) reached out and accepted this little guy into our program!

Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Ellis and his dedicated team at the Green Valley Animal Hospital, Ember’s leg was saved, although the surgery cost exceeded $2,600. LVVHS rallied their supporters who generously contributed over $800 towards Ember’s surgery, and he is now healing well and expected to be ready for adoption sometime in May.

Ember’s story is a testament to the incredible power of community support. With the kindness and generosity of his compassionate friends, Ember is now on the path to a happy and healthy life. Soon, he will be able to run, play, and find his furever family. LVVHS relies solely on donations to help animals like Ember, and ongoing support is crucial. If you’re interested in making a difference in the lives of animals in need, consider donating or fostering with the Las Vegas Valley Humane Society!
