Going to the Dogs

This one's for the dog lovers out there. We made this journey with our two pups who we refer to as Suburban (rather than Siberian) Huskies on account of their being, just slightly, spoiled. We weren't quite sure how they would travel but they've been troopers the whole way, even when I and Sophie were not. So here's to the dogs - Yukon and Bentley - who shared our journey, who shared with us their beds, and who will forever share our hearts. Woof! And thank you, pups,  for not barking at (and drawing the attention of) all the bears!

Introducing the cast of characters...
My name is Yukon and I was abandoned
as a puppy in Kansas.

and I'm Bentley (or Mr. Bentley as
my owners call me). I got into
trouble at my first home chasing
cattle so they put me up
for adoption.

We love sleeping in in the morning, but our
owners do hog the beds

I really like to stretch out and sleep on my back

Getting a proper night's sleep
gets us ready for a new day, after
mealtime that is

We're growing Huskies so we have big
appetites. I'm Yukon and I eat almost
as much as David

We've visited lots of places this summer, though we can't
pronounce all the names...

And see, and sniff, all sorts of
interesting things

We visited with some of our sled dog cousins...

And saw Alaska's highest mountains

and some glaciers that were really cool!

We tried to sign up for the Yukon Quest but were
too early... we were heartbroken

We roasted marshmallows and made smores

and when I got tired and it was
time to go night night I'd
go in my camper

I had first dibs on the best
place to sleep

though I had to put up with this funny looking guy
(P.S. he snores, but so do I)

But best of all we went through
all of it together!
