How about Yatahey? J/k

Actually, I like to give my dogs human names, like Joey or Buddy. Not very original, though.

Yatahey! I like it. Although it would be hard to scream Yatahey? J/K out the door when you are trying to get 'em to come in. It has to be two or more syllables for screaming effect and carrying capability over the wind. I used to have a horse we named Nizhoni, the handsome one. The rez rescue theme, have to pursue it....

For us, no human tities are allowed, to reduce the anthropomorphization effect, I suppose.

@Artemus!!! Congrats on the new family member. New boy looks like he has a loving playful attitude. I can't wait to walk with him, but perhaps we'll ski with him first! I'm sure he and Mya will get along great.

Chilly November morning at the mouth of Youngs, overlooking a bend in Dark Canyon.

Counting the doggie kibbles to see if there's extra for a morning meal!

I love seeing everyone's fur babies! I am a little jealous, because my Hugo tolerates walking and hiking, and HATES camping. I guess I started him too late in life. He is still my faithful companion who sends me good thoughts when I go backpacking. Hehe

Hope & scooter in buckskin gulch over the christmas break. We didn't have any luck with walk-in wave permits(damn all these tourists), but still had fun exploring surrounding areas.

Old vs. New - Old timer Luna picking on newcomer Skylar picking on old timer picking on ...
They get along much better than expected given Luna's cantankerous nature.

After what seems like forever, I was finally able to get Winston out for a hike yesterday. She was sooo excited!

Skied North Woods in the La Sal's today. Probably 40 mph winds at tree line. First pic near the top, second one after getting down to the skin out.

I love that dog. So great that he chose you as companions!

And how did you get him to wear those goggles although it is not clear that he does? In the second picture is he posed? Luna soundly rejected her aviator's goggles as not photogenic or whatever...

 

[Kullaberg63]

He wears them fine when busy. When we stop for a longer period he sometimes roll in the snow, presumably to get them off.

I feel like your dog is shooting an epic movie in this picture! Absolutely powerful! I love it!

Sage giving me her tired face, somewhere around 22 miles into a 35 mile walk.

Putting some miles on the Milo at his favorite hiking spot.

A Boy and His Dog
- Sagebrush with her trusty sidekick, @Nick, somewhere deep in the Escalante wilderness. Her real name is Sage and she is a walking machine.

Milo getting ready to terrorize prairie dogs, horses, bikers, runners, other dogs, and snakes

Next dog - a big dumb friendly Lab (though hopefully Milo lives forever)
