You can see on the left that Alaska alone is massive. Then the Continental U.S.
Outline of Alaska over parts of Europe for a size comparison. Outline of the United States over Europe to show a size comparison.

Little Clover had fun in puppy class last night and got a little sleepy in her dad’s arms. Just love her sweet face and floppy ears!

An adult man, face not shown, is holding a young beagle puppy in his arms. The puppy is looking straight into the camera and resting her front paws and chin on the man’s right forearm.

It's raining, it's pouring, and my pups definitely do not want to go outside.

Took a beautiful urban hike with Fiona. Lots of new scents for her to sniff, critters that caught her attention, not a lot of people, perfect weather, and not far from home.

Please sign the #PetProfessionalGuild #ShockFreePledge! We have known for decades that using pain to train any animal is cruel and unnecessary.

On the left, a Weimaraner is standing on grass, looking up, showing a few teeth, with soft eyes; and above the dog is text - #ShockFreeCoalition. On the right, over a green background is text - Shock-Free Coalition, Pets have an intrinsic right to be treated humanely! Shockfree.org On an orange background is text - Sign the Pledge!

Shock-Free Coalition, www.ShockFree.org On the left are an English Mastiff sitting with a white, fluffy cat sitting in front of them; a black and white border collie standing; an orange and white kitten and a gray and white kitten sitting and looking up to their right; a French Mastiff lying down with their muzzle on the ground; and another orange and white kitten standing and looking to their right with their tail held high. At the top right corner is a graphic of a hand holding a pen that is signing a piece of paper that has lines and scribbles instead of words.

They have a long, strong reinforcement history of food being shared with them, and we are (obviously) good with that! We also have a cue that lets them know when nothing is available. Oh, those sweet, beautiful puppy eyes! 😂🥰

A black and white border collie is sitting on the left and a blue heeler mix is lying down on the right, both on a runner that is atop an off-white, 12-inch tile with grey grout kitchen floor. Both are staring intently at a person that is mostly out of frame. In the bottom right corner you can see a little bit of the dark blue jeans they are wearing, and to the right of the jeans, the edge of a round light blue table is showing. In the top right corner, the legs and stretchers of an off white chair are shown. In the top left corner, behind the border collie, is part of a dark blue and silver dog water bowl, and behind that is the bottom of a light brown cupboard. Behind the blue heeler mix is part of a dark blue and grey area rug that has sort of a butterfly pattern, and a small, soft, yellow, pink & light blue dog toy in the shape of a wedge of cheesecake. At the top of the photo is a grey box with yellow text, I successfully taught my dogs to stare at me for a long duration while I eat.
