    Moving to Alaska

    Yea, you read it right guys! I'm heading back to Haines Alaska and I couldn’t be happier. Some of you might remember when I lived in Haines Alaska for 4 months last summer while I worked with the American Bald Eagle Foundation. I caught 4 eagles, did wild life research and completely fell in love with Haines. Well when I saw the Animal Control Officer Position open for the Haines Animal Rescue Kennel (HARK) I jumped at the chance to apply. Its taken weeks but they contacted me yesterday to let me know I have the job!!! I'm so happy. So Nova, Konnor, Sitka (my 3 dogs) and I will be driving to Haines Alaska, leaving on October 3rd and arriving October 8th.

    Wish me luck!!

    Dogs: Nova, Konnor and Sitka

    E-Yikes
    MappyQuest sez that's 3,739 MILES and will take 62.5 Driving Hours!

    Better pack a Lunch!

    And PLAN to stop in at Glacier's Husky Pharm ---
    looks like her Slice of Heaven at Whitehorse, Yukon Territories, Canada,
    is right on your route to Alaska.

    Have PHUNN in Alaska ... and remember to take a jacket.

    That is so cool. My aunt moved to Alaska, she said it helped with her and her children's asthma. You will have to send us pictures. I bet it is sooo pretty.
    There is no such thing as failure, just learning experiences.

    That is so awesome! I'll bet the dogs will love it there, too. Amazing news!

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Great news! I remember how much you loved it. If you need anything -- or if you're heading closer to Anchorage, please be sure to let me know. I'd love to get together.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Wow, Congratulations! That is AWESOME!! I remember reading how much you loved Haines and it's great you're living your dream of moving there!

    Can't wait to see pics, but that car ride doesn't exactly sound fun.

    When you mentioned applying for a job in Alaska I was wondering if the dogs would be able to go along this time. Yikes! That is a very long drive. Be careful, have fun, and best of luck.

    Congratulations!! What an adventure you have ahead of you and such a beautiful place to be And best of all your doggies are going with you. I recall the wonderful photos you shared with us last year and the amazing experiences you had while there. I also remember how much you missed your babies.
