My leukemia's back.

Several years ago we took a trip to Alaska. For me the highlight of the trip was a visit to the kennel of multi time Iditarod winner, Jeff King. He told us that his criteria for breeding was "The overwhelming desire to run and the ability to consume massive amounts of calories." His dogs were very evidently mutts with a strong husky influence. Anyone who grouses about 'making' these dogs run has never seen sled dogs.

Yup then is what we call Alaskan husky.... Mostly husky.... But mine was part Shepard too...... She was pretty..... Her name was Cola.
She loved to pay out in the coldest weather.... And hide in the air conditioning all summer.

Haven't been on the computer much these days. (Except for work, of course.) Just got back from Denver babysitting the grandkids and the puppy. Quite exhausting, but lots of fun. Coming home we hit some crazy turbulence - luckily my seatbelt was on since it kept me from flying out of my seat. Stewardess said it was the worst drop she'd felt in her 3 years of flying, and my daughter just got an e-mail from Southwest apologizing and sending her a travel voucher. (They bought us the plane tickets.)

Still dealing with my abscess issues unfortunately. But the days are getting longer and as soon as the wind stops, I'll get back out in the garden. Looking forward to that.

There was a girl a few years ago had a team of Irish Setters.
No no Doxies..... But I'm thinking about it.... If probably need like 30 dogs.....

And no snow, they don't have a lot of clearance.

totally true.

brilliant deductive reasoning.

Must have had a quart of Ice Cream to generate that much brain power.

We actually went in and bought two mochas...... Mine had three extra shots of espresso.... My wife's had two....

That should have kept you awake a good long time.

Do they free range Ostriches in Alaska. Alaskan?

There's a few here..... In the banana belt we call Escanaba.... So i figure they must be able to adapt to the cold if sheltered.

that is me .... antique

I had kids a bit late, but I am not actually as old as I act. My parents were VERY old fashioned in the raising of us kids.
