Still Walking. With my very cool dog bag.

After a non-stress test last week, my doctor declared that I am officially full term and that if I go into labor in the coming week, then, I go into labor. I raced home and told Wolf, “I think we better put the crib together…” It’s up and just needs a mattress and sheets and [...]

A Malamute’s Point of View on Sarah Palin and pit bulls.

Hey there. It’s me, Nunuk. I think you’ve seen me here a few times. Don’t remember? With these good looks, how could you forget?
Mari gave me permission to paw the keyboard today, which is nearly as sweet as gnawing on a knuckle bone. Sure beats watching a political convention. I watched both conventions. Big [...]
