Nome is used to rowdy residents, but some relatively new transplants are making a real nuisance of themselves -- although unlike the colorful characters of the early 20th century gold rush days, these visitors have four legs, not two.
Musk oxen are wandering into the city on the Seward Peninsula, and despite loud noises, water hoses and even a blow-up bear coated in ursine urine, they don't want to leave.

Well, he does live in the desert and gets chopped in half by his former student...
So... Yeah.
Karma works. ;-)

Aw, they sure are cute.
Very good!!!
After they are checked for microchips, cleaned up, checked out they will be easy to adopt out.
I am definitely relieved and happy for the pups
I’m sure they will be. They don’t look like they will grow impossibly big!
They look full grown, Chihuahua, Papillion mixes.
Could be. I’m not good with dog breeds.
Back from Naptime, and our next thing is a trip to Walmart. I was hoping to get through the week without going, just as a gesture, but we need baby wipes.
My daughter and I were watching Jeopardy!
Cue the tagline change!
LOL!
I think it’s time for Kathleen’s bath. She’s just showed me a dirty spot on her knee.
That reminds me of something I wrote, but everything does, or it reminds me of something I'm about to write.
Fascinating.
She’s been washed now.
The part that I wrote was about a boy who had some blood on his knee, after playing outdoors. During his bath, the blood washed away and disclosed no indication of an injury.
He had remarkable healing powers, (among other things).
I’m sure that’s not as helpful a quality as it should be.
Countdown to bedtime, maybe 20 minutes. I was thinking of watching tv and doing needlepoint for a while, but I’m getting a headache.
It depends. The boy's father had calculated that if he had a ruptured spleen, (for example), a night's rest should be sufficient to put him back in fine fettle.
That, I think, would be extremely helpful.
But in spite of that, today I managed to tie back/secure/move out of the way some rambunctious members of the nightshade family (and retrieved a quantity of red colored fruits from them in the process), dug up a dead rose (that unlike its two neighbors didn't survive our glowbully warmed winter) and planted another in its place, and then planted two day lilies (one of which had a tag in the pot that said 'orange day lily' and the other was tagged 'forsythia'...)
I'm waiting to see if this winter transforms that day lily into a forsythia.. or kills it ;-)
I admire your enterprise. Have you planted fruit trees?
There is a pear tree on the East side of the drive, but unfortunately it is probably dying from pear blight. According to what I have read, once it progresses as far as it has on this tree, it probably cannot be stopped because it gets into the cambium layer and spreads through there. To stop it you need to cut the infected limb(s) off 6 - 8 inches beyond the infection. If I were to do that with this tree, there won't be much tree left, and the chances of success are slim.
Apparently that bacteria will also infect apple trees, so I'm hesitant to plant anything just so it can be killed off. It is spread by insects (including honey bees) that visit the flowers in the spring, so odds are that it will get passed on to any susceptible tree that I might plant.
Wish there were some fruit trees here though. I had access to a large variety as a youth (courtesy of my Grandfather whose orchard just happened to be over the fence in our back yard..) Pear, apricot, plum, black cherry, a golden cherry of some kind, a really sour cherry that Grandma made excellent pies from, at least four types of apples. Then there were the nut trees - black walnut (of course, nothing grew near it ;-), butternut (haven't seen one of those trees in years), English walnut.. And the grape arbor that had four varieties of grape...
Didn't know how good I had it as a kid... ;-)_
Yeah. I'm getting that a lot.
