Just read this on their site. ❤️ www.elydogsledtrips.com/our-dogs.html

"An Instagram post by one of our guides...

We often get asked if we know all of the dogs’ names...Let me tell you what we know. We know their personalities, ages, weights, family relations, life history, running preferences, harness size, strengths and weaknesses, abilities. Where they like to get scratched...
We can hear a dog bark and know who it is...
We know who jumped up on our back by how it feels.
We know a dog in the distance by the glow of their eyes from a headlamp.
By their tracks in the snow.
We know the sound of a certain dog’s gait as they approach from behind.
Or the sound of the dog’s breath.
We might even be able to recognize whose poop that is, or know the quirks of the great grandparent of the dog.
We have a bond built on mutual respect that runs so deep that the dog will blindly trust your command to turn into a bay with water on top of the ice. A bond where we will blindly trust the dog to navigate through the safest routes. A bond where when a dog is in your arms in his final hours at the end of his long and fulfilling life, he still has nothing but love, trust, and respect for you, and that feeling goes both ways. A bond where even though the dog has been gone for a number of decades, we still can talk about them like they were here yesterday, because the memories are that strong, and we still see the impact that that dog left on the other dogs in the kennel by how they act, and we sometimes see it in certain leading skills learned from that dog.

Oh, and yeah, we know their names."

I love how well this picture captures their personalities! Here's another fave. Also, the photo of a pup, possibly Dora, locked in the driver's seat of a truck. The pup is staring at the driver. Someone inserted a quote bubble with something along the lines of "Whose the musher now?!?" 😆

A blind, brown Alaskan Husky is in the foreground, yelling at the camera. A black and white Alaskan Husky is prancing in the background, with her tongue out. They are outside in a field.

A yellow, and rather dirty Alaskan Husky, is sitting and smiling inside a plastic box. A brown and white Alaskan Husky is sitting beside her and giving her some major side eye.) They are indoors.

Poor Koda. If it’s the sound that triggers him, my sister's dog, Momo, wears earmuffs at New Year’s & Fourth of July to reduce the noise. (Their two-person, one doggo fam hung out in the hallway on New Year's Eve to avoid the fireworks.) Momo eventually fell asleep with the earmuffs on!

An Australian Shepherd-Border Collie is wearing earmuffs while lounging on couch cushions on the ground indoors. She’s surrounded by pillows.

My sister often makes DIY enrichment toys for her dog, Momo, from recyclables. I was also worried about her breaking into packages or boxes, but I don't think it's been a problem thus far.

This is my sister’s dog, Momo. She has a bunch of nicknames, but I often call her Momotarō. (Apparently, this is a walk through wrapping paper trend from IG. She was a bit hesitant, so had to be enticed by treats.) My fave photos are the last two.

Six photos of a brown and white Australian Shepherd-Collie mix dog sticking her head through holiday wrapping paper that’s affixed between a doorway. Her facial expressions grow increasingly more derpy.

Fortunately, the National Weather Service has canceled the tsunami warning for the coastal areas of California and Oregon. I live within walking distance of the beach. While I'm not in the standard tsunami evacuation zone, I was nervous!
