Long sunset hikes being undervalued by many keeps them extra special for the rest of us.

Huge, shaggy, aggressive bucks in rut stink. Not as bad as a skunk, but not far off.

Ask me how I know.
Alaskan husky stands in water in a bathtub, hair spiked from wet suds. Tail tucked. Head low. Refusing to make eye contact.

Talking with friends during the 15th inning: At least you have a fridge. Fans at the game are almost sobered up with no concessions

Five years ago this lady’s world flipped upside down and she came to live with me. We do alright.

(I don’t actually remember the date, she was on a trial period at first since she was pretty high energy for a pet.)
Human and dog sitting, not very still, in a hammock in front of a tent outside. Dog in a winery tapping her paw against a wine glass extended from the photographer in a toast. Dog shopping in a retail store, using a floor length mirror to look at the photographer- tail wagging, ears perked, dragging her leash around the store as she shops Long canicross trailrun in misty green hills as far as you can see. Dog with muddy paws standing up on the human for the picture, both looking at the camera

Biked past two cats and three squirrels to meet up with friends.
Dog, rocking an adorable flower bandana, trotting along side a bike, loose leash theoretically connecting dog and human. Human’s arm in a black tshirt and rogue hairs are the bottom of the shot, since rider balanced to take said shot.

Was a little extra at her last vet appointment.

When she was in back I heard vet say "goodness, she's all skin and muscle" from trying to give shots which made me feel better since I think I’ve let her fall out of shape.

41.5lbs and rocking a cute piggy bandage.

Nervous pup wide eyed dog laying on the floor of a vet, panting, with a cute piggy bandage wrapped on her leg.

I've been teaching my dog new tricks. She's not old, but she's not particularly young anymore. She locks eyes w/me trying to translate what I'm asking of her. Gets frustrated. Offers things that have unlocked the human treat machine in front of her in the past. Trying Trying to focus Trying Focusing

Hidden perks of talking about training and the upcoming dryland season with other mushers is receiving pictures of happy dogs running.

Two dogs in front of a bike staring at the camera using every ounce of their focus not to jump out of their harnesses trying to go now. Two dogs in front of a bike staring at the camera using every ounce of their focus not to jump out of their harnesses trying to go now - but they heard a noise and are now momentarily looking off to the side at the same thing Post run hugs for the very best dog with their musher who is smartly wearing a full faced helmet

Arctic terns are so cool.
Clearly so am I for thinking so. 📚
Photo looking down at a copy of Charlotte McConaghy’a Migrations (a novel) with a rogue playing card acting as a bookmark next to a white mug full of black coffee sitting on a coffee table. On a coaster, of course.

I have a slightly swollen black eye and, true to my life, don’t actually know where I got it. I have narrowed it down to three culprits, but the timing still eludes me.
An incredibly innocent looking AK Husky standing on trail in harness. Is definitely not one of the options for the painful eye situation.

They're smiling because we ran this morning and then we went to the park and played fetch this afternoon and just beat the rain.

#CrossTrainingIsMoreFunWithFriends
Yellow lab sitting in the grass with a big goofy grin on her face. Tri-colored AK Husky sitting mirrored to her in the grass with a smile, but more panting than smiling because, lets be honest, she was doing most of the running.

The geese are flying which means it is soup season.

Please share your favorite soup recipes without crazy one-off ingredients that you make on repeat.

“If they wanted to, they would” needs to replace “if he wanted to, he would.”

Others are just as culpable and should not get off so easily.

Prestine blue sky. No clouds. No markers. Some gradient in color, but not much.

I do not accept the premise that the bike has been brought out just for maintenance. Bike is out. We run. I will wait here for you to acknowledge this. -Pg

Photo taken from inside an open garage looking out into the driveway where a dog sits very proper and patiently behind a muddy mountain bike laying on its side.

Someone just decided to wake up.
A dog sitting on a human bed, above their human looking only mostly awake- ears have nothing holding them in their normal place, lips not sitting normally, eyes not yet bright and awake. Cute, in my opinion.

I should come with a warning: IF YOU LET ME HANG OUT WITH YOUR KIDS, I’M GONNA TEACH THEM THINGS LIKE GAMBLING
Three outdoor pictures of kiddos and adults- sharing a ginormous shaved ice thing, playing bingo, and more no-longer-ginormous shaved ice eating/drinking.

Clouds and weather make me abnormally happy after living in Southern California for many many years.
