let's see if i can do this...

[Sheryl]

I'll try to get a couple of pictures here.... if they are too big I'll see if I can edit them. I just can't seem to get a good picture that really shows the beautiful brindle coloring on Harley's legs, chest, and neck. I'll have to try again one of these days.

Harley is beautiful, what a gorgeous dog! Where do you live in northern Alberta? I'm also an Albertan, currently in Calgary, but have lived up north too (in the Yukon).

Sheryl,
Harley looks very much like Finnegan and Cecile's Maggie, so I definately think he's beautiful!!!

[Stefie C]

I agree, Harley is beautiful!!! I love the kitties in the cupboard! They look very comfy there. :D

[Jaime Cress]

Great Pics Sheryl! Harley is a great looking dog!

And the cats in the cupboard are very funny!

Jennifer, I live in Ft. Chipewyan.... it's about 300km north of Ft. McMurray, almost at the NWT border. No road access, except for three months when the lakes are frozen and we have the winter road. Before I moved here, I was in the Yukon (Dawson City). Small world, eh?

[Cecile Vargo]

The pictures are beautiful of dog and cats! Particularly partial to Harley - he could be Maggie and Finnegan's triplet. By the way, Maggie just weighed in today at 83 pounds and she's 14 months old. For some reason I thought she was 15 months, but she's got another month and 4 days to get there. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

Sheryl,

You must be a lover of remote places! I spent a summer in Dawson City working with Gerard Parsons and Suzanne Crocker at the clinic when I was a medical student (now an emergency physician), and another few summers way back when doing field research in Kluane. The Yukon is possibly the most beautiful place on the planet...

I'm stuck in Calgary for the next couple of years, and then I'm outta here!

[Sheryl]

Wow, small world! I'm a nurse, so I worked with them too! Susanne had just had a baby when I left in the summer of 2000. I liked the Yukon, but didn't like the year-round roads. I know that sounds crazy to most people, but I really do prefer to live in a community that is isolated and you have to fly in and out (except for a couple of months of winter road). I did some releif work on Baffin Island, and if my husband hadn't objected so much, I would have moved there!

Sheryl, good for you for living in a remote area! While not as remote as you are saying, my favorite place on earth is a remote ghost town at 8,500 feet in the Inyo Mountains between Death Valley & the Sierra Nevadas. The town is restored and run as the only bed and cook your own breakfast ghost town in the world. My favorite times to be up there are off season when no one is up there but my husband and I. We "watch" the place when the owner or caretakers need to be "out of town". I also go up there myself for a week or two at a time, and just love the isolation, and knowing that I am 20 miles away from civilization.

I'm headed up there with my dog Maggie, for a couple of days later this week! If I ever got the chance to, I'd move up to Cerro Gordo permanently!
You can read about the place I call heaven on earth here:

My dog Maggie is also named after one of the famous red light ladies of the town.
