Arizona sunset. We spent a few weeks exploring the Sanoran desert of Arizona. We've learned the names of many of the cacti and various plants that inhabit the desert. Jessie experienced the spines of a prickley pear cactus up close and personal. (while bending over to adjust a plank under the wheels of the camper).
Hidey tangled with a Cholla cactus and ended up having to be rushed to emergency, sedated, and had 4 people from the vet clinic remove the cactus spines that had literally covered her body. She recovered completely after a few days of medications but there were some tense moments.
