Playing tourist with Ma...picture heavy...

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Wonderful piccies! Mom certainly looked happier when she was hugging the tree!

Are you going to hide Stuart's shoes so he has to stay home for good?

[Laura's Babies]

Those pictures were awesome!!! All I can say is WOW!

[Catty1]

How is Stuart feeling since his accident? (He has to tell you the TRUTH! )

[Pembroke_Corgi]

You live in such a beautiful area! How fun to play a tourist there. I loved the black bear family photos!

[Glacier]

Thanks all.

Stuart is doing very well now. No symptoms from the head injury other than a very sensitive scalp! He can't stand to have his head touched at all. He was quite nauseaus for a couple weeks, but that has subsided.

Unfortunately, he's not home to stay! He's going back to camp today to finish a couple things up. Will be home on Thursday and leaves again on Monday for a new job. He'll be working in BC all winter, but Muskwa is staying with me.

Leaving AGAIN?

It's a wonder the Dawgs recognize him any more!

How Far away is the British Columbia job?
And WHAT, pray tell, is the Jack of All Trades going to be doing?
Primitive living conditions again, or civilized living?

It's a shame his Junior Assistant & Guard Dawg (Muskwa) can't tag along.

Wish you well, Stuart ... Work SAFE, please!

Some of them don't, especially the timids. It took Pacer several hours to let Stuart touch him this time.

The BC job is about 1100 miles away from home, 20 odd hours driving time. It's a camp job, but not sure how primitive the camp is. He's starting as a driller's helper, but will likely be a driller in a few months. The schedule is 4 weeks in, two weeks out, until May but camp jobs tend to fall off schedule regularly! If he likes it and it works out, he will stay with the same company and go into a Yukon camp for the summer.

Muskwa is staying home for the first trip at least(which is already off schedule and Stuart won't be home til Christmas). If it's a dog friendly kind of camp, then Muskwa will go with him on the next trip. Will also depend on how he decides to get home for his weeks off. If he has to fly, it's not an option to take Muskwa. Only one airline that comes up transports animals anymore and it's very limited and only as cargo.

I'll go with you Barbara! That looks like a dream to me....

Just breathtaking! Thank you!

[cassiesmom]

Wow, beautiful! Very beautiful. Welcome home, Stuart and Muskwa. Best wishes at the next job. And Glacier, I'm with Dr. G. on the litter boxes.

Tamara your photos are brilliant - nature at its best Makes me want to come up to the Yukon more than ever

Please give Stuart my best - he is one tough guy

P.S. Looks like Mom had a great time

[mike001]

Thanks for sharing these photos too. You have such a talent for photography, or is this your job? Whatever. your photos make me want to head out there, it looks like God's country, and so peaceful.

[chocolatepuppy]

What beautiful pictures! It's great you and your mom had such a nice visit!

[ramanth]

Glad Stuart made it home okay. What a burger! I'm so hungry now. *laughs*

Those pictures are stunning. I bet your mom had a real nice vacation.

[finn's mom]

Those are unbelievable. The color of the lake is wonderful! Your mom has a great smile! Were you scared at all on the bridge? I would have been scared, but I would have liked crossing it anyway. That's amazing that the fire wasn't put out until the following year, but look at all that new life! very cool. Glad I saw this thread!
