ps: most of us leave our rigs running during brutal temps, until we're done running around for the day. And it always brings a smile to face when I think about how we don't even lock our vehicles while they're running. Not in our little town, that is. In Fairbanks I leave her running, lock her up, and have an extra set of keys handy.
Thanks for the memories...it makes living in the Hell of the Seattle area seem not so terrible any more. I can rub my eyes here and not break off my eyebrows.
Your welcome for the memories, CWO. I sure can't imagine living in Seattle, but someone's gotta do it. I've had tourists ask me where they can find a McDonalds, or other fast food place here, and I tell them, "go straight up the Alaska highway about 200 miles and you'll find what you're looking for".
I haven't broken off any eyebrows yet, but I've learned not to touch any part of the body while outside during the brutal months.
It isn't as easy to teach a pup though. I remember when we had a batch of malamute pups, and as luck would have it, the mama gave birth during the winter. We kept them in the house as long as we could (all 9 of them), but when we finally put them in a pen outside we had a dickens of a time teaching them about tongues and metal. Do you have any idea how far a puppy's tongue can be stretched out? IYIYIYI
Speaking of dogs....sounds like some trouble outside. Time for the moose to come to the smorgasbord I've left them in the garden. Good night. chena
Take care and stay warm.
