Tragedy struck when Barley crashed while playing fetch in early October, just 10 days before we were due to leave the country... He tore his CCL and ended up needing TPLO surgery. He's recovering well, but it was extremely emotional for me and scary.
I spent my summer between the Artic Ocean and the southbound leg of the trip working on a wind farm. The dogs sniffed out bats and birds while I got a TON of work done on the van. While out on a run, I found a KITTEN! His name is Norbert and we love him very much. I absolutely wasn't looking for a kitten, but here we are. He's fit right into the van and the crew. The trip is delayed by 3 weeks but WE ARE ON THE ROAD AGAIN! Barley, Niffler, Norbert, Saga, and me.
Kayla, (me) Barley (black and white border collie), Niffler (blue merle border collie), and Norbert (orange cat) are driving the Pan-American Highway in Saga the Sprinter Van. The Pan-American Highway stretches from the Arctic Ocean to Patagonia; we took a slightly different route by going to Tuktoyaktuk instead of Prudhoe Bay. This different route allowed us to take the dogs all the way to the shores of the ocean. We spent the summer solstice near the Arctic Circle and area heading south to Patagonia starting in October or November 2022.
I work remotely as a dog behavior specialist at Journey Dog Training and run the nonprofit K9 Conservationists. You can learn more about those projects at K9Conservationists.org and JourneyDogTraining.com.
