Some dogs, a cat and the orange igloo

Well, here is a collection of random photos that we wanted to share but couldn't fill up an entire post by themselves.


Here are Dan and Kim's new Husky pups, Kayuq and Toby. This was the best picture I could get of them together since they are usually wrestling or running. Notice the expert carpentry of the dog house entrance that I cut for Dan with my circular saw.


Here's Laura with our (neighbour's) dog Arcpiq. We took this guy for many walks and Laura is enjoying trying to keep him still. Arcpiq really enjoys bitting Laura's mitts. Unfortunately, Arcpiq has moved to Iqaluit with his owner. He was a great dog!


Even cats need to stay warm in the Arctic!


Kayuq was able to sit still long enough so I could snap this pic. The dogs were fed with seal as pups and smell really bad. Dan and Kim gave them baths so they are smelling much better these days.


This orange igloo was built behind our school. Scarlett, a photographer from Holland, hired some elders to build the igloo and then dyed the blocks orange.

Hi Laura and Jamie, I'm glad to see you took all the carpentry skills I taught you and are now applying those skills in a positive manner. It takes a good man to cut a circle with a skill saw. It seems Timmins is the halfway point between St. Lucia and Igloolik. It feels good to finally be able to say that we live in the balmy south.

hi jamie and Laura
Sure glad I'm here and not in Igloolik or in St Lucia either.
One's too hot and the other too cold.
Seems there's no happy medium.
Glad you're doing well
We miss you both
Love
Memere
