Alaska, finally.

l'd look that up...but...

Funny story...

Well, besides Dalton we have Marley, a rat terrier/blue heeler mix. (Now, there's two breeds even satan wouldn't mess with...lol)



Well, between the two of them...it's pretty much a continuous dog fight/wrestling match when they are awake. When they're both sleeping...it's not quite so bad...lol. Anyhow, l have to call my medical provider about changes, since l'll be turning 65 soon. Both dogs are sound asleep, what better time to call, right? As soon as it starts ringing on the other end, l see movement, then an eye opens, by the time l get through all the prompts, he's awake and already mixing it up with Marley. A young man answers the call, finally, and starts to ask for detailed information, which l have laid out beside me on end table. Well, no sooner do l start giving him info...and a full-force, with matching sound effects, wrestling battle commences. Dalton is very vocal when these battles start, growling and barking at Marley, basically to get her attention. Well, all he** eventually breaks loose and Dalton's in rare form, growling like a timber wolf fighting over its last meal. They end up knocking all of my papers l had laid out on the floor, then l dropped my phone trying to stop them from destroying the papers, l'm now yelling at them to stop and l'm bent over collecting my stuff, so now Dalton thinks l want to get into the fun and starts jumping on me...so l'm now yelling at him to get off me and some profanity may have been uttered. Finally get him off me and gather my phone and the young man asks me if l need medical help or if he should call 911. I apologized for the interruption and told him it was just our new pup wrestling with the older dog. He said, "It sounded horrible, as if they were tearing you to pieces!" "No, every thing's fine, it's just the new normal around here." He says, and this cracked me up, "Well, l'll get these changes pushed through as soon as possible...in case you do need them in the near future...lol."

Darn dogs anyway...

Thanks for the write up! I am glad I was able to follow along.
Hope you are doing well.
I have been lucky enough to work some remote parts of alaska, and see the inside passage. " The drive" is still on my list.
