3 pups on a glacier

This shot was taken at the Athabasca Glacier along the Columbia Icefields parkway. The journey by car stretches 144 miles between Banff and Jasper National Parks in Alberta, Canadia, in the heart of the Canadian Rockies.

Global warming is evident here, as there are markers showing the rate of retreat (average 16 feet/year). The glacier is still magnificent at 6 kilometers long and 1 kilometer wide.

If you haven’t ever seen a glacier up-close and personal, 3 pups suggest you hurry!

  1. We saw you on PBU and had to visit. I know, I’m a cat, but one of my best friends is a Schnauzer named Maggie, so you know I love woofies. I was a rescue. And when mama was growing up she had a wonderful dog–from an animal shelter. So, we are rescue supporters!!
    You all look super adorable.

  2. Hi friends,

    I just read about you over on Pet Blogs United. I am also a rescue dog and a foster failure. I have not seen a glacier up close and personal, but after seeing this picture, I definitely think I should!

    Your pal, Pip

  4. Hello there, popped over from PBU too. We are a cat household, but there is often a visiting Tibetan Terrier next door! Just love the photo and also what you do.Great job. I’ve visited that glacier too, but way back in the dark ages …. well the 70s, which is much the same.

    • ThAnks for visiting. we like to chase cats but not hurt them. I’m sure that glacier was way bigger in the 70’s. have a great week!
