Twenty days across the U.S.A., with a Yetti

    Today, I met Cathy Short, a writer, who is traveling with a Yetti.  Point of fact, he is her very own Yetti.      Cathy's dog, Yetti is one of a relatively small breed of  Finnish Lapphund ("Lappie") which have been herding reindeer for ages.  This breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 2011.   Yetti is double-coated and is a great companion dog. 

Cathy Short is taking a long trip, 20 days, road-tripping across the U.S.A. and back.  Today is only day one of her journey which takes her from Oregon to the San Francisco bay area.  Tomorrow, she expects to visit the Grand Canyon.  Cathy is a kick and I wish I could have gotten to know her better before she had to rush off.  In North America, you are not highly likely to see a Finnish Lapphund ...Unless, of course, you catch Cathy as she flies by on a highway near you.
