Session notes: 
I first met Kepler when he was known as Sprinkler. He and his litter had been named by a group of 3-5 year olds so there were some very inventive names in there. Kepler was adopted and now gets to model the bow ties his mom makes and sells - he definitely wears them well.

I find it an important part of this project to include dogs who were born of sled dog lineage. Although they may not have had to pull a sled, they do still offer a visual representation of the breed mix of dogs that are used in commercial and sport sled dog operations as well as genetic information.

Next up is his mom Arwen!
