Snow Cave

Friday I went up to Hatcher Pass to do some snow boarding. Once up to the parking lot I decided to dig a snow cave and sleep in it rather than pitch my tent. The evening was crisp and clear but not terrible cold (I think it was about 10 degrees). After I dug the cave I glazed it with a candle to set it then moved my tarp and bag in. In the morning I grabbed my snow board and hit the hills. The snow was about 4 feet deep so I had to work hard even with snow shoes. The runs were, soft and smooth but difficult to see due to lack of contrast. Great weekend.

A Happy Dog Day Care

This past week we found out that Kari's 4runner has a leaking head gasket, which sucks because we like it and now are getting rid of it. As a result we are down to one car and carpooling. Kenai is a little young still to stay home alone all day so we enrolled her in puppy care. She is now on day two, and she loves to sniff butts, and play with other dogs all day long. When I pick her up she almost immediately falls asleep in the car. Aside from eating, drinking, and pooping she basically sleeps the rest of the evening. We love puppy care!!!!

Ears

We took a couple of pictures of Kenai recently and she is all ears! So long as we take her for daily walks she is a wonderful dog. She can now sit, stay, fetch, give, come, kennel, lets go, potty, ring a bell to go outside to go potty, and catch a Frisbee in the air. She is getting better at down, no biting, and leave it.
