From One Bay to Another...

Howdy finally! I've been nudging Ma to get the posts going again for almost a week, but she's been so busy and then got sick, which is bad for her work supposedly, but awesome for me heheh! But not for blogging! Finally, I get to not only see what she's been up to, but also to get some pressies which are long overdue from my parents' trip yahoo! Not that I missed them much, you understand - I had such super care from people I know and love that it didn't even occur to me to miss Mom and Dad haha! (Note from Mom and Dad: we missed Sammie so much that we hugged every doggie we saw - see below - in Talkeetna, where McKinley climbers get their act together. We were uncommonly lucky on this trip, for the weather was almost always blue skies and above 50 degrees. My hubby tends to have great weather karma, but I was blown away by our luck. We saw Mt. McKinley four days in a row with blue skies everywhere. Still, climbers let us know that the winds were fiendishly bad.) Max in Talkeetna - giving him a hug before a horseback ride.

Example of an awesome view of Denali from the back of my horsie!

Again... blue skies near Lumplagh glacier in Glacier Bay.

Okay... enough about mom and dad on their vacay. Look what the Dughallmor Beagles sent me by none other than "Royal Mail!!!!" Can you dig that? Squeekie toys, so soft and fun to play with and the yummiest treats I ever did taste! Look at me smell them!

And I love my yellow soft squeeks toy! Thank you ever so much!

, And now... check out what mum and dad brought home for me from Alaska! Soap for a bath (yuck!), a couple of doggie bandanas with moose and bear all over them, a leash, a winter warm-up Ititdarod warmer, a collar with bandana sew-up thingy around it and some... yeah! TREATS! Wild salmon! And believe me, they are yumzers!

Look at me gobble these up! Thanks for these!

Here I am wearing my new collar from Alaska and even though you can't see it, the leash is attached!

I feel like an Athabascan doggie with my kerchief worn this way - isn't it cute?

And check out my pawsome Itidarod winter warming collar that I'm sure I'll have to wear when I go to Tahoe to ski - ahem - cough cough!!!

Finally, I got to play thank dogness! Here I am - chasing my beloved kong in the Marinwood Creek. Man was I happy when I got to do this again!

Chaco - sorry if I got you soaked down.

Oooohhhh, ma - that's a hard one for me to get.

Golly - I've had to become part rock climber! Hey Ma - get me a harness already!

Sproinggggg!!!!!!!

Shake shake! "Shaken not stirred" for this pup!

So glad to be back -here's a shot from the Tracy Arm Fjord at the Sawyer Glacier 50 miles S. of Juneau. My mom and dad loved this place but say that even though they want to go back really bad, they won't go without me heheh!!!! Now it's time to catch up with all of your goings on!

Hugs and xo, Sammie
