I’d also like to add a picture of my twin sister and I, sitting on our great grandmother’s lap, with her mirror image twin sisters on both sides!
Boo, now retired from his career as a professional sled dog and Iditarod finisher, has decided he no longer needs to go out in the snow. He only went out to potty after JT went out first 😂🤦🏻♀️

Today at Meteorology Camp, Intern Boo is learning how to put together seasonal ice reports for clients. Tried to eat the mouse pad at first, but has been helpful ever since.

While in Wisconsin, Boo thought it’d be nice to roll in a dead fish just before bed. Little did he know, that would earn him an emergency bath since he was very adamant about sleeping in our bed. He was not thrilled when tied to a chair to dry by the fan first 🤣
Tonight at meteorology camp, Boo is learning about rain shafts. He’s also learning about scud that may look like a funnel cloud, but is certainly not.

I just took Boo into Petsmart with me to get some greenies. The cashier asked his name and I said Boo. Some lady a few people back in line screamed I KNEW THAT WAS HIM! I FOLLOW THEM! 🤣

is the KINDEST human being I know. She hand made this amazing sled dog necklace as a little post-camp gift. It’s so perfect, and she’s SO talented! Thank you for everything this summer ❤️
Today,
@BlairBraverman
gave me a quick lesson on dry-land dog carting and I got to DRIVE the dogs with her as my rider! Then we went to Nature’s Kennel and played with puppies and pet the adult sled dogs. Heading back to Indiana now- what a weekend!

Boo still thinks he needs to hide his bones from the other dogs, even when he’s an only child. Here’s an adorable video of him trying to cover it up on the couch, but the blanket wouldn’t move because he was standing on it 🤣 he’s so cute

Day 1 at meteorology camp and Boo learned how to “shake”! I picked his paw up a total of THREE times while saying shake, then asked him about 6 hours later, and he knew how to do it! And he gets SO PROUD every time he does it now 😍
On an evening walk with Boo when all of a sudden a man across the street yells “he looks like a big chihuahua!” Then keeps casually walking on 🤣 he looked up at me like he was insulted.

omg 😭😭 I was sorting laundry in my room and just recently moved the dog gate so Boo could get back here. He watched me sorting for 5 or 10 minutes and then came back with his bone to add to the pile! 😭❤️😭❤️
Did I really just walk into the bathroom and find a picture of Flame in an outhouse,
@met_cooper
!? Even better question-
@BlairBraverman
did you do this!?
#UglyDogs
Y’all, we went cranberry bogging this evening! What a gorgeous place. Flame, Boo, and Forrest had a blast too!
@BlairBraverman
and the dogs are much better at bog hopping than we are 😅

Boo has been with us for a little over a week now, and he’s adjusting very quickly to temporary pet life! Somehow he fit his whole self on my lap in the car. He’s already been to a state park, learned to shake, and has certainly gotten comfortable on the couch 😅
#UglyDogs
We made a trip north today for a very special boy! Boo did not appreciate our reunification taking place in the rain 😅 I came prepared with a towel, though! Here’s to

Sophomore year!
#UglyDogs
Hello my name is Boo and I made poor decisions this morning and had to get a bath.
Narrator: Boo will never receive an indoor bath again. Outside with a hose was MUCH less of a fight.
Boopdate! Boo is having an amazing summer, seems to be gaining more confidence, & building closer relationships with some men! He’s more trusting & slightly less skittish, & eating a LOT even though he’s still his very slim self in appearance😅

Aside from Boo, we hung out with many dogs this weekend! Here’s four of BraverMountain’s team: Spike, Leap, Pepe, and Forrest! All so cute and sweet 😍

Heartbreaking end to
@QuinceMountain
rookie Iditarod but necessary for the health of humans along the trail. Q was withdrawn by officials, as they’re closing checkpoints early b/c coronavirus. I’m SO PROUD of him & the dogs, all strong & healthy & they made it 714mi! ❤️
#Qditarod
4 years ago today, Boo,
@BlairBraverman
, and the rest of the team completed the Iditarod! Now he’s living the best of both worlds in retirement: couch time and running time! ❤️
#UglyDogs
Last night, Boo drew the short straw and had to come to work with me to activate the State EOC during severe weather. He was such a trooper! I borrowed the dog bed from a coworker’s office. He was very skeptical of it for the first 6 hours. He made lots of new friends!
#UglyDogs
Just wanted to let everyone know that even though Boo has experienced a lot of new things at meteorology camp, his favorite pastime is still receiving butt scritches. He still gives “the look” when you stop short of what he was expecting.

Part of tonight’s discussion was about screen doors. Boo experienced his first screen door this afternoon and ran straight into it. I didn’t know it was there when I opened my grandma’s sliding glass door either to stop him 😅 he was very skeptical the rest of the day.
WOW. Modeled aeorosols (smoke, dust, salts) from the 2017

season. AMAZING video depicting all of it! A few things to pick out:
Hurricane Ophelia picking up smoke from Portugal wildfires
Vast dust plumes from Africa
Hurricanes picking up salt in the Caribbean...& more!
@BlairBraverman
Boo:
1. New hobbies include bikejoring and weather forecasting
2. Has begun sleeping on the couch
3. Refuses to put clothes on or trim nails. Only brushes hair occasionally. Doesn’t want to shower.
