Here are some loverly photos of Russ's dogs on the "snow day" 7APR11. I tell you what... if they made men like they make dogs --and I am sure men think the same about women and dogs, and I wouldn't fight that one-- this world would be a better place. I don't think people truly appreciate the love for an animal. There is more that you can learn from them then you can from anyone. That is, if you listen and love them. Like the saying goes, "You put your wife or girlfriend and your dog in the trunk for 3 hours, who's gonna be more excited to see you?" One of the best... and yes, as a woman, I wouldn't take any offense to it. Hell, I use that one all of the time. My life here in Alaska has become fuller and I have grown to appreciate dogs as well as all of the wildlife I have seen, more. I do have to say Scott has given me one of the best gifts or opportunities, however you want to look at it, that I could ask for. Man I love Alaska! Stepping down from my soap box now.... Where was I?
After taking these photos, I went back to Scott's house, did the dog houses and Scott the yard, we had to go pull his friend out of his driveway. Well, I parked on the ice and well... we were stuck. Got unstuck, went over, helped his buddy and got in a snowball fight. Snowball fights are always fun, well unless someone pokes an eye out... or would that be bash?? Whatever... Scott started throwing snowballs at his buddy's father... who is about 80. It was a hoot and good for a few laughs. He couldn't hit him if his life depended on it, I think he was doing that on purpose... It was just a big free for all. It feels good to laugh after dealing with practically 2 ft. of snow, sweating, back hurting and most of all... you're wet, and not the good kind of wet. You are cold and wet to your bones, the kind of wet when you want to start a HOT fire and drink something so hot, your throat burns like you are drinking moonshine. Ahhh... that's one thing about being cold and wet... getting warm and dry.
