We're Alaskans





Today was Neil and Banjo's first day as Alaskans. After a very long flight (which was delayed over an hour), Neil and Banjo made it here. Of course when the lady brought out the cages from the cargo hold one cage was shaking and barking (that cage being Banjo). Boy was he excited to see people.

Banjo is loving having a younger pal around to play with. He and Rio race around in the backyard. Rio is much faster though and shows her dominance by tackling Banjo into the snow.

Banjo seems to love playing in the snow. He travels off the path to leap and bound through the snow (which could well burry him). His hair seems to keep him quite warm, although it collects tons of balls of snow all under his belly and on the backs of his legs.

Tonight we ordered Thai food and watched the season finale of the Amazing Race. (It culminated in Anchorage coincidently.) The restaurant was voted numerous years as Anchorage's best Thai restaurant--but, there are only about 3 in town. And this one wasn't too hot.

If Banjo needs booties to keep the mats out of his feet, and you can't find them in Alaska, just let me know and I'll mail you some. They worked really well for Maggie. They keep ice from forming between their toes.

He looks like he is having a good time. I miss that little boy. But I don't miss looking for my slippers, watching your step on the carpet, being woken up at 2AM, not being able to knit while a certain someone is in the room, or being worried when things are too quiet. He is such a cuttie though. mom
