I was sort of suspecting a hidden joke in here...
Good stuff though... way to drag it out and great pics.

First I get sucked into the "Carbon V" controversy and now THIS! I am easy today. Sure looks cold up there.  <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> 
Yeah...  This is what happens when I get stir crazy.  I need to have a bit of fun!  Seems like last year I was able to get out just about every week.  The last time I have been out this winter was in November. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
Beautiful country, and dog <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I have a bunch of IMPs, that bread should be considered abuse <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> 
nice pics
im not so sure about the beanie-weinees though 
Personally, I love the IMPs!  The only one I don't like is the macaroni in yellow chemical goo that they call cheese.
!!!!
well I actually really enjoyed the pics, what kind of dog is tikka?
According to the kids in town, she is a Tikka dog!  Some of the kids see her relatives and call them Tikka dogs.  Officially she is a heinz 67.  Known to have husky & lab and then who knows what.  She is a small to medium dog at about 50 pounds and moves like greased lightening!  I have paced her at well over 20mph.  She is also smarter than her owner, however that may be more a poor reflection on me than a positive one on her.
don't they use teenagers for dog and wild life food up there? 
There was a pilot project, however it was found they gave the grizzlies indigestion.  They are cranky at the best of times! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
