Thank you for the compliment. All the photos here are beautiful. We lived in the Yukon until 2007, that is where the ptarmigan pic was taken. There are not any ptarmigan here in central Alberta.

Digger went by plane to Fairbanks from Pennsylvania, then from Fairbanks to Dawson City Yukon. A friend picked him up at the Fairbanks airport and kept him overnight for me. He had a layover on his long flight and the airline employees were great. For the short jaunt between Fairbanks and Dawson City, he got constant ear scratches in his kennel from the co-pilot, he flew first class in the cockpit.
