having too much fun!

Best buddies, Chena and Tundra relaxing on the dog couch! Recognize the couch cover Gma Brown?!?





The pups and queen Angel.... I think Chena was scared that Angel was going to pounce on her!






Walking on the frozen Eagle River right below our house






Holding paws!






King of the mountain!






OKAY OKAY.... I KNOW I AM OBSESSED WITH MY DOG!!! There are dogless pictures coming up! :)




The boys taking in the view





On top of the world!





Front row for a gorgeous sunset!





We FINALLY saw the Northern Lights! Pictures don't do them justice





Dancing a bit!





Like a rainbow, across the entire sky!





Dancing some more. This is what they looked like even with the city lights. Adam did a pretty good job takin pics w/o a tripod!










They are stick monsters!





They love snowy hikes almost as much as they love each other!











This picture seems kinda random.....a relaxing horseback ride w/ my daddio on the last day of my visit back to Iowa for the passing of my grandparents





Tundra meeting his first goat!





Coolest fort ever!!!





No, we did not build an igloo. (I wish!)
















Hiking at Chena Hot Springs





The HOT SPRINGS!!!!











One night we actually watched the Northern Lights while soaking in the hot springs!






Tundra was obsessed with the resident ducks and geese! (I ate duck for dinner.... hmmmmmm?!?!?)






A quick drive and hike in Denali National Park. Look closely for Denali--- :)






A lone caribou digging for its meal





He (or she) must've found something good, it barely picked its head up for this picture! I said she because female caribou also have antlers!





A dog sled team enjoying the wind in their hair! :) !






Funny sign eh? There was actually a rope hanging over the edge of a cliff in one spot!





Tundra and I enjoying the waterfall





Tundra and Chena playing with other dogs at the dog park! (one of the best days of his life... so far!)





Tundra's little...little friend!





Check out this paw print Tundra and I came across on a hike at Eklutna Lake! Big dog or wolf?!? I'm voting big dog!
WE SAW LYNX!!! A rare sight! :)
OMG... absolutely amazing to see this creature!
Cute tail!












This eagle was flying circles above us and watching for what the dogs were chasing up from the bushes (3 ptarmigan and 1 rabbit were the critters WE SAW... who knows what else the dogs found! )





Tundra's older buddy, he lives next to the trailhead of one of our hiking spots and comes over to say hi. He has hiked w/ us the last two times! :) He has also flushed out 4 ptarmigan and is teaching Tundra to hunt them. He also smelled the lynx and started going for them! He knows the mountain very well!
WE GOT A BOAT! It's a river boat..... Adam knows the stats.





More lynx pics




Lynx are rare to see.... we feel very lucky!




It was watching us... I think it wanted a puppy snack!





Oh yes.... there were TWO!!! Can you spot the second?!?! Def. a mating pair! HOW AMAZING was this experience?!?! :)







I WILL ADD THE VIDEO LATER.....


A snip-it of what the 60 mile road from Fairbanks to Chena Hot Springs was like. ...... ICE!
