Brrrr...

So just thought I would update on what its doing here.  Not exactly what I would call balmy.  Right now its -36 but feels like -41 with wind chill, and yet the sad thing is, it feels WARM to what it was earlier today.  The weather at the airport today was -49 with the wind chill, and I had to work outside.  It was horrible.  Even with 2 pairs of gloves on my fingers froze in about 2 minutes and I would have to go in and two of the guys would warm my fingers up for me.  Needless to say, we could call it teamwork. Ha.  Anyway Nuka puppy doesn't mind it to much for about 10 minutes and then shes booking it up the stairs to go inside again. 

Meet....

NUKA!

 I went and picked her up this weekend.  Flew down on to Edmonton on Friday and back on Sunday.  She was so good, was such a brave girl on the plane and in her new surroundings!  She loves the snow so much, especially the powder, she'll porpoise through the snow shoving her face in every few feet and comes up with a frosty white face only to realize that she is freezing all of a sudden and can't get inside soon enough.  I think that she'll make an excellent ski partner one day!  Its so cold here right now that its making it hard to tucker her out though.   I had some video of playing in the snow but can't get it to load right now.

When we got home she found a comfy place in my suitcase

Life is tough being a puppy

So my life in a nutshell.  I am getting a puppy! Yay! So excited!! I am hoping to get to Edmonton on Wednesday this week to pick her up, and then fly back up here with her on Friday, but we'll see how my schedule goes.  Plans seem to change rapidly up here and getting a dog here is no easy feat!  Anyway she is a Shepherd/Husky cross, she is at a rescue center in Whitecourt, just north of Edmonton.  Her story is that there was a litter of 9 and on Halloween the pound was called to a house that was giving away puppies and candy to kids.  7 were given away and they seized the last two, her and her sister, they were only 6 weeks old.

 Isn't she a pretty girl!  I just need a name now, so hard to settle on one.  I think I need to meet her first before I choose!
