I Can See Alaska from My Kitchen Window


Alaska is our giant neighborhood puppy who became instant pals with me. He and Atlas, equally large, always came to my place when they were out roaming in the morning. I took them back, knocked on the door of their sleeping staff, and waved goodbye - regularly. Once Atlas pushed open the front door and sat in my living room, happy to be home again.

I heard a quiet "Wuff" just now and went to the backyard, only to see Alaska strolling around. He is a Great Pyrenees. I mentioned this the other day when walking Sassy. Alaska's mom said, "We let him out for a run each morning. He disappears and comes back quickly. Now we know where he is."

Sassy wants her morning walk, so we will see where Alaska might be.

I apologize to Sarah Palin for borrowing the line the press exaggerated to make her look foolish. Few people realize the proximity of Russia and what that means for our security.
