Skiing the Powerline trail. We played for 4 hours and enjoyed the snow - soon it will be gone for the season.
Finlay didn't have time to sit still for a picture.
Love my two girls, Summit and her mommy, Lucy.

Happy Birthday Lucy!!!!! 🥰🐞🐾🎁🎉
I can't believe you are already 6 years old. You are the perfect family dog - never chewed any shoes, only TV remotes... but hey, they are cheaper than shoes.
You are a wonderful mommy and sister, a great therapy dog, snuggle bug, hugger, and couch potato. I look forward to many more years of hiking and fun.

I'm looking for a reliable dog sitter, and thought I'd reach out to the community for suggestions.
I'm going on a trip for two weeks in two weeks. My good friends are happy to take two of my dogs, but I'm still looking for a dog sitter for my third 'child'. I have never boarded my dogs and prefer not to, but will consider it a last resort. If you have any recommendations, I'd be grateful.

We were out looking for spring. No luck, but we won't give up.
The fresh snow was great for skiing.
"Stay on Trail" - What trail?

I received a phone call at 10 PM a couple of Sundays ago from a good samaritan who found two totes by a dumpster. Each tote had a mom cat with babies.
ACAT doesn't always come to rescue quick enough in such situations, and sadly many cats/kittens do not survive a night in the cold.
These guys were lucky it wasn't freezing cold outside. Both moms and all 11 babies were a bit sick but are much better now and have put on some weight.

Currently, I'm fostering 4 litters of kittens but in about 10 days, the oldest ones will be 11 weeks old and ready for adoption.
Check the ACAT website or contact me directly.

Much thanks to Team Kaitlan for her wonderful help.

They love all the snow ❄️.
Buuut annexing the neighbor's yards is a no- no.
I put up the chicken wire yesterday and not two minutes later Summit, my little Houdini literally climbed over it in front of me. 🤦‍♀️
I knew she was going to be trouble 🐕💕

I would love to get some feedback and suggestions on how to go about this.
As you all know I have been actively fostering for a local NON-PROFIT cat rescue. Alaska Cat Adoption Team.

Currently, Anchorage Animal Control is turning people/cats away AGAIN, this time because they are over capacity. They have done this for other reasons in the past; such as an outbreak of kennel cough in dogs or Feline Leukemia in cats. All understandable.
Whenever Animal Control turns people/animals away, they hand out a list with phone numbers of local rescues, such as ACAT, telling people, to "try any of these, maybe they can help you".
So, here we are taking in cats/kittens that AACC rejects.

What bugs the heck out of me, is that AACC has informed ACAT that their foster homes need to apply for 'Multi-animal Facility Licenses'.
Because I have cats and dogs on my own and mostly deal with surrendered pregnant mom cats and kittens, I needed a license for 11+ animals (don't judge - lol ) - it cost me $200 and I had a friendly officer inspect my home.

I have a problem with the fact, that a NON-PROFIT rescue, who takes in animals the AACC rejects is subject to paying fees for Multi-animal facility licenses.
In my opinion, this is a pure money-grab, a tax, and ACAT gets (to my knowledge) nothing in return.
I wrote the board a letter, requesting that non-profits be exempt from this tax.
