Walking the Dog

I couldn’t resist this one. While taking a break from the start of the Hockey game I happened to catch this.

Notice the trendy coats on the dogs and – how can you miss those fashionable booties, (glad I had on my transition glasses).

But wait there is more…His hat is an actual Fox fur. It includes all four legs and that striking tail too! What doesn’t show is the cutest little fox face and fox smile too. I am sure it is a female fox.

Let me know if your interested in one – I have located the source. Just have $250 ready to pay for it.

Last Day in Anchorage…

There won’t be much posting today, as this is a transition day. Transitioning to what you are wondering with great anticipation…

Well… We are heading up to Willow today. You can think of it as preparing for the Iditarod next weekend. Yes it does take that much preparation – it is a big race you know.

The other item on the Agenda for today is the Gold Medal Hockey game between the USA and Canada. Patrice being Canadian just hast to have her Hockey fix. I don’t know why though, I can tell her who is going to win. Just trying to save her from major disapointment you know. Yeah, thats me a soft hearted guy.

As soon as we can dry her eyes then we will be heading up to Willow.

Stay tuned for the next action packed installment…
