Sled Dogs in Skagway!

The adventure started with a long walk, farther into Skagway than I had ever been (or knew existed). It was gray and chilly, but a lovely walk with beautiful scenery.

We arrived at the puppy place and there were only a few people there. Fortunately, we caught the guy right before he went to lunch, so he led us into the pens with all the beautiful little puppies! We asked how much it would cost (we had heard rumors of a $20 fee to get in) and he looked at us like we were crazy and said, "oh, don't worry about it at all. You're crew, and you just want to play with the puppies!" So that was awesome, and then we found out we could go back next week and do the entire 45 minute program to learn about sled dogs, for free, because we're crew. Plus, since these puppies are getting kind of big, he said there would be new and smaller puppies next week. (so stay tuned for more cuteness.)

You may notice that there is a penguin in this picture. His name is Winston, and he has been all over the world with Thomas. You can check out his travels at http://winstonadventures.blogspot.com/

In other news, this is our last cruise. A little bittersweet, but mostly sweet. All the people I will miss have already gone, or I will see them again soon. I'm ready to get back on land and learn to plane a fingerboard and then move to Minnesota!
