The weather is sunny and beautiful here and I have been dying to get out as have not been on skis in Repulse or here and when I did go out with the dog last weekend just for a walk got a faceful of frost bite! I am ending staying an extra week here as the social worker I am replacing was delayed a week. I was staying at her house but moving back to the smaller cooking room ....so has been pack up and move day and as I was at the health center late Friday completing files I watched movies until 3 am...so probably my own fault if tired...have also been on call.

Well the puppy comes for visits and I have to be pretty vigilant to make sure not peeing inside but the kids in the family have told their father she is getting fatter. I found out she was born about the end of Sept. Rabies vaccines the non-expired ones have arrived from Rankin but I am not sure if I can convince by-law to give it before I go. She stays at the house with the other family and I just hope nothing happens before we depart...took her for a walk at lunch on Friday and she was limping abit and when I went to put her back in the porch there was another smaller pup and almost a fight so had to quickly put her inside.

OH YES yesterday I succeeded in losing her when I went for a walk on the ice, coming back about 5 PM off leash and raced for the shore. Was assured that she would eventually turn up…. but in the inevitable southern way I had to “ do something” as opposed to a more patient Inuit way. Went walking around town last night no dog but had a good visit at the local arena and watched a hockey game where the white jerseys won 17 to 3. Today drove around for 2 hours no luck and guess what at 3 pm she just came back! Well these shots take of our skiing did definitely not let her off leash  and she pulss and cold paws and as you can see she much prefers the back seat of the van…WHAT ELSE did I succeed in doing locking myself out of the suites…fortunately there was a extra key for the van so I could drive and borrow the phone and it really is minus 35 even thought the sun shines!
