Gertie on the Mend


We have had tons of enquiry's about Gertie, out dog. Gertie went missing for two weeks. We searched everywhere for her, and finally out on our ATV, we found her. Now, this is quite something, considering we're in Alaska, plus it went down to -20 a couple of the nights that she was out. She was in a Leg Hold Trap, and starved. It's amazing a wolf or a lynx didn't get her. Anyways, she only lost two toes, and now is fat, healthy and very peppy again.

Thanks to everyone who enquired about her and helped in the search. It was really something peering up on the side of a hill after hearing something and a chain making noise as we drove by an old grave site. Three people who were unknown and buried in 1920 at this site.
Greeting from Alaska, by the way, it's snowing today............!!!!unbelievable!!!
