Had an email from Paradise today asking how Maggie is doing. After a few accidents on my side of the bed during our first week on the road (Jim thought it was pretty funny) Maggie has settled in beautifully.

When we drove to Prudhoe Bay we boarded Maggie at a kennel for 5 days. To be sure she had a reasonably good time, we signed her up for Muttasorri. It's a play day with other dogs in a huge yard filled with doggie jungle Jim equipment and staff to meet her every need. But oh no, according to her jailers she was not happy. She went on a hunger strike and punished her jailers by sitting with her back to the gate so they could not enjoy her countenance. To make matters worse, when we got her home we found she had scraped her paws raw digging at the chain link gate (poor baby.)

Maggie and the Travel Nome that Dan and Dani gave us for the trip.
Thank goodness Kim, Jeff and the kids gave us this dog bed for Maggie. She spends all her time on the road curled up in bed.

dandelions in Canada. Happy is the Basenji
who can bask in the sun like a lizard!

This came in handy since Alaska was
colder than Maggie expected.


 






Maggie takes a trolley car ride in
Whitehorse. She was so good and
a real hit with the kids. Maggie also
took a mine train ride. Good girl!

Basenji ass off in Alaska.











Maggie enjoys checking out all the strange really big animals we've seen in Canada and Alaska. You have to wonder what she thought of the buffalo.



When we took the 12 hour bus ride into Denali Park we had to board Maggie for the day. This is Sarah, she owns Denali Doggie Day Care. Maggie got to play in the wading pool with the other dogs, she went for long walks and apparently had a really good time with Sarah.
