Always on the Hunt



On our last walk the wind was a little crazy, but that didn't stop us from enjoying a long brisk walk up to cliffs:)

One has to wonder what is still moving under four feet off snow in the dead of winter.

Winter Storm Season...

isn't exactly upon us just yet.






It keeps warming up after a cold spell causing things to get a little bit messy once again. But that doesn't mean I haven't enjoyed my last couple of days. Coming back to Toksook Bay before the first of the year wasn't exactly easy ( four hour drive to SLC to catch a plane that would allow Bogart's crate in the hold, losing B's health cert. right before checking in, getting B out at the Anchorage airport and back on again two hours later, losing his dog food somewhere b/t TSA and the gate, arriving in Bethel only to wait for a taxi large enough to hold his crate, and then arriving in Bethel with a tub o' food missing some key snacks:( ) but once I did make the return- I received a warm welcome from the locals. It's always nice to come back to smiles followed by a "Happy New Year!"

Now I am waiting for the others to return. A few have been held up in different airports due to weather holds and the such. Bogart and I are looking forward to reuniting with the teaching staff here in village as things have been quiet for too long.

School starts on Tuesday, and I am looking forward to that last 4 1/2 months of school, as I believe that this one has been another baptism by fire kind of year:) 


Staking a Claim

Either Bogart is extremely sad and misses Dawne OR he is considering himself to be a new tenant if Dawne doesn't make her flight out of Bethel.
