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?Originally Posted by Glacier
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.Leaving AGAIN?

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.

Working on a Drill Rig is **dangerous** work!
* Pipe bouncing into sleds and overhead
* Chains flying on the "deck" to tighten the drill pipes
* Winch lines zipping around
* You need two extra pairs of eyes!
PLEASE - find him something *safer* and closer to Home!
With all his Talents - he can find more enjoyable employment than Drilling!
Meanwhile ... BE CAREFUL, Stuart!

And Taz', too
Wow, that really is beautiful, and it looks so serene and relaxing. I am sure it is different if you live there all of the time and you have a full time job and 23 dogs to look after.But it sure is relaxing for my online mini-vacations.
I am sorry to hear that Stuart is off for another three month job after Monday. That must be tough.
Sherman, we miss you!
Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous! Glad Mom had a good time, she must worry about you with Stuart gone so much of the time. (I know I'd be worried about my kid!) Nice to see Muskwa! Do the dogs all recognize him when he gets back? Is he still the alpha around there?
Loved the pictures of the bears, especially the one of the "mama bears" together.

Everything Stuart does is dangerous to some degree. I knew this was coming; he's been talking about drilling since the first one started up in the mine camp! His other option for work is driving a snowplow, at night, all winter. Not much safer really and not even close to the same pay. He has his own reasons, aside from the income, for doing bush work right now that I fully understand, but that he would not understand if I publicly posted them.

Sorry to lecture you on a subject you already understand.
Hopefully he'll get playing Drilling Roughneck out of his system;
and then will move on to something that can use his Skills and Knowledge.
Tell Stuart that we ALL *worry* about him; and ask that he Work SAFELY!
