A restored fishing village (1770s -1993) offering an exceptional experience to a small number of visitors. This alone is worth the 6,500 mile drive from Juneau. www.battleharbour.com/
Interesting facts about my lab:
Name: Sunna
Location: Iceland(that might explain her light colored nose!) :)
Toys: She loves playing with those ropes you can get at the pet stores and also soft animals with no stuffing but with those squiking balls inside. She also loves playing with plastic bottles, tennis balls and just anything she finds around the house.
Favorite treat: She LOVES Pop corn ! She also loves the home-made treat we make for her out of liver and something(we found the recipe somewhere on the web).
Her favorite things to do is going out for a walk, she always gets so excited when she knows she's going out. She also loves it when we take her of the leash outside and she just runs and jumps around like she has endless energy but when we get home she just falls asleep and is tired the rest of the evening. Even though she's tired, she's always ready to go out.
Thing she dislikes: She doesn't like it when we pet other dogs, she gets really jealous and just comes to us and cuddles against us and wants us to pet her instead. She also doesn't like it when I go outside for a jog and leave her at home.
Interesting thing about Sunna: Every time when someone comes to our house she always needs to find a bone or a toy and have it in her mouth when she greets someone.
This is the stare of OHMYGODOHMYGODWALKIESYESYESYESLETSGO :) Little Ellie is pretty special to me... When I moved house, my 2 dogs Penny and Priscilla escaped at different times and never came back, despite a huge hunt. SIGH! Ellie has filled a huge gap in my life for a while, and the cheeky little scamp luuuurves her walks!!
I spent three summers working with the Geological Survey in Central Labrador, NF, Canada doing till geochemistry / drift prospecting research. What a wonderful experience.
From Wikipedia, three excerpts:
Labrador is the distinct, northerly region of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It comprises the mainland portion of the province, separated from the island of Newfoundland by the Strait of Belle Isle. It is the largest and northernmost geographical region in Atlantic Canada.
Labrador occupies the eastern part of the Labrador Peninsula, in an area slightly larger than the US state of Colorado. It is bordered to the west and the south by the Canadian province of Quebec. Labrador also shares a small land border with the Canadian territory of Nunavut on Killiniq Island.
Though Labrador's area is over twice that of the island of Newfoundland, it has only 6% of the province's population. The aboriginal peoples of Labrador include the Northern Inuit of Nunatsiavut, the Southern Inuit-métis of Nunatukavut (NunatuKavut), and the Innu. The non-aboriginal population in Labrador did not permanently settle in Labrador until the natural resource developments of the 1940s and 1950s. Before the 1950s, very few non-aboriginal people lived in Labrador year round. The few European immigrants who worked seasonally for foreign merchants and brought their families were known as Settlers.
The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) (French: Commission Géologique du Canada (CGC)) is part of the Earth Sciences Sector of Natural Resources Canada. GSC is responsible for performing geologic surveys of the country, developing Canada's natural resources and protecting the environment. The GSC is the country's oldest scientific agency and one of its first government organizations.

During the last major glaciation, the Wisconsin, ice sheets covered most of Canada. These ice sheets scoured large areas of bedrock and transported this scoured material in a down ice direction where it was deposited as glacial sediments, most notably till. In some locations till contains minerals of economic value. Till such as this can be traced in an up ice direction to its source which may be a mineralized rock outcrop or till covered bedrock, this technique is known as drift prospecting.
Drift prospecting was originally developed in Finland, and was first researched in Canada in the 1950’s, since then it has been used extensively as an important mineral exploration tool. (GSC,2006). During the past few decades many valuable mineral deposits have been discovered such as copper ore, uranium, and most notably the Kimberlite deposit near Lac de Gras, Northwest Territories which is now a fully operational mine
Sadie's first ever bathtime went.. well. :')
Just a little colour for my stream.
I'm really excited to get some film developed and hopefully show you the results. Some of them are still from last september! So it'll be great finding memories I've forgotten.
more to come in comments.
Retriever do Labrador (ou carinhosamente, Labrador ou Lab), é uma das mais conhecidas raças de cão. Notabiliza-se por sua amabilidade, inteligência e obediência. Devido a estas características, são frequentemente treinados para cães de caça, de assistência, como cães-guia ou de serviço. A raça Labrador é uma das mais populares em todo o mundo, em especial nos Estados Unidos e Europa.
Ótimo cão de companhia, mas atenção, pois este cão adora estar na presença de humanos e odeia estar sozinho. Não é, de todo, adequado para alguém que esteja fora de casa por longas horas durante o dia.
O nome "retriever" deve-se ao facto de o Labrador ter como principal função a busca de caça abatida. Existem mais raças na família dos "retrievers", como, o Golden Retriever, o Toller Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever), o Curlie Coated Retriever, o Chesapeake Bay Retriever ou o Flat Coated Retriever.

The Labrador Retriever (also Labrador, or Lab for short) is one of several kinds of retriever, a type of gun dog. The Labrador, once known as the Lesser Newfoundland, is the most popular breed of dog (by registered ownership) in the world, and is by a large margin the most popular breed by registration in the United States (since 1991), and the United Kingdom. It is also the most popular breed of assistance dog in the United States, Australia, and many other countries, as well as being widely used by police and other official bodies for their detection and working abilities.
