This may be the first snow Fortis has ever seen. I know this, it's the first snow he has ever seen as a tripawd! He had a great day and the snow was a special treat. We just wanted to say whadup Y'all from down here in snowy texas! Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you who are fighting and have fought this horrible disease.
P.S. The band Alice In Chains has an album with a Tripaw on the cover. (I've never listened to the music but a friend sent me a picture of the album cover. I tried to post it, but no luck.

The whole world is backwards. Everybody is getting snow, but me. The whole town is cranky due to lack of snow. Second least snowfall in recorded history. Grrrrrrrrrr.

Freaked out weather, isn't it? But it's been nice in Vegas lately! But some days it's warmer in Northern Texas and Southern Oklahoma (my family's states) than it is here!
I think Fortis is better looking than the album cover. But it's super cool!

Alaska has had some really strange weather the last few years. We were there for the iditerod the year they had to move the start of the race to Fairbanks because there was no snow in the Wasilla/Anchorage area. It worked out well for us, we drove to Fairbanks, had an invitation to visit one of the mushers kennel, took a dog sled ride, saw huge ice sculptures, toured Fairbanks. It was too much fun.
I love Alaska, we have considered living there in the summer and Tx in the winter.
