An afternoon with sled dogs

Today mom and I went with Ingrid to a sled dog kennel near the White Mountains (about 45 minutes north of Fairbanks. I think Ingrid's son knows the couple that runs it). It was thankfully a nice day and not too cold. The couple showed us the sled and the equipment they use (they ran the Yukon Quest a couple times!) and of course had to pet the sweet doggies hehe. There were a couple that jumped up on you and it was literally like they were hugging you..awww hehe. While the lady's husband took the dogs for a run (I was hoping we'd get to ride, but I don't think their sled was big enough for more than one person) we went inside their lovely house (which is entirely "off the grid"..they have solar panels and stuff..wow) and talked and had snacks..they have a pet dog that covered me in kisses when I picked him up hehe. Fun :)

Today's trivia: Oregon's state flag is the only one in the US with a different image on each side: the front side has the state seal, and the back has a beaver
