Wolfs tooth/ Niko Almost Ran Away

The day before yesterday and yesterday were SO wonderful!!!! Well I already told you about Sunday but not yesterday!!! Ok... ready.... I found.... a..... wolf's tooth!!! I'm not kidding seriously I really did!! I was beach combing down by the wood shop and I saw what I thought was a cool looking rock. At first when I picked it up it looked kind of like a crabs claw that had a funny shape and all the meat still in it (which would be REALLY weird) but I wasn't sure so I brought it up to Kevin and asked him what he thought it was. While he was looking at it I was thinking that it might be a tooth or a talon from a bird! He finally said that it was probably a tooth from a dead animal. I went to show it to my dad and he said that it might be from a bear. I was still not sure because it looked a bit too small for a bear. We have a wolf's skull up on the mantel and I compared the tooth I have to the canines on the skull and it was the same size, soooo...... I'm really sure its a wolf tooth!! I think its old because its got a little rust on one side and its kind of brittle.

It was really cold, rainy, and windy today and I only went outside to haul wood and then came back inside. We thought Niko ran away because when Dad let him out he bolted away and ran up the river where the wolves are. He might try to be one of the pack but they don't let strangers in and they are sooo hungry that they would probably eat him. My Dad went after him and brought his gun in case he met with wolves but soon he was back with Niko. He said that Nik just had to stretch his legs and that he was alright. The whole time they were gone I was praying that both of them would stay safe and that Niko would come back... my prayer was answered.

A Wolf Song

I heard the wolves again but this time they were right across the river and it was if they were next to me!! Hearing the wolfs howl was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my life. My favorite animal used to be the brown bear but now its the Alaskan wolf. I wish all of you had been here. The wolfs earlier were on the other side but now they have split up because they are probably hunting deer. Even though they sound and look beautiful they are very dangerous and I need to remember that.

Wolves

Guess what!!!! I heard wolves this morning before lunch, it must have been like 4 or 5 of them! The sad thing is that my dad said that we need to trap at least one so they don't come to close to the lodge. I just got back from him showing me how to boil the traps so they don't have any human sent on them. If we get one I will take a picture of it so you can see. We are probably going trapping tomorrow, hope its not raining!

When I was down at the dock I counted 213 star fish, not including the ones that must be under the dock!! They are probably mating, you would think it would be a weird time for it but the water doesn't change in tempter very much so it must not mater.

P.S. I'm working on another poem.

Weather

This morning it was so foggy that it blocked out the satellite signal and the TV would not work but now its clearing up. Just about all the snow is gone now...booooohoooooo!!!

Here is the poem I have been working on, it took me so long because I put it off for a couple days.

~ Alaskan Winter ~

Cold and clear

Ouch on my ear

Frost bites my tows,

I hear a cold whip

That stands on the tip

Of blowing right though my clothes

Happy Day After Thanksgiving

I  am very sorry that I didn't post yesterday, my mom didn't let me, she said that today was a family day and I agree with her. Any way, I am thankful for my family, where I live, my friends, that I have freedom to read the Bible, that I have food to eat, that I have good clothes to wear, and more. We had a great meal and I had barely any room to eat the pumpkin pie that I helped make and I am still kind of full!!

The weather right now is foggy and really damp, almost all the snow is gone and its raining lightly. I really hope it snows again soon so I can finish my igloo that is melting right now.

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving and and a pleasant day with your family!!!

 I almost got to go to town a couple days ago with my dad but he said that he had to many stops to make and that I need to stay home and do school so I guess I just have to wait till Christmas to see all of you. Mom and dad are sneaking packages into there room and when I go up there I can't find them, I bet there good! Although I did catch my mom looking at (or trying to find) a dance pad thing without having to buy the wii thing, you know what thing I'm talking about... right?

I went out in the snow again today and made a snowman with my sister and I'm working on a igloo made out of big snow balls. It will take a while but it'll be huge, airy, and the first igloo I've ever made!! I promise to take a picture of it when its finished.

Right now it is raining but next week its supposed to snow a lot!! I am very excited for Christmas and to see all of you.

Snow!!!

Today it snowed, a lot... finally!!! I had to shovel all the way from our house down to the lodge but its good exercise. Today is also my brothers Birthday and we had some brownies for desert... yum, but for the entertainment Art set off fireworks!! Right now I am watching DWTS the finale (dancing with the stars) and I can't wait to see who wins, Kyle and Lacey, Bristol and Mark, or Jennifer and Derek!! I admire dancing but I am HORRIBLE at it, some day though I want to learn how.

Tomorrow I will wake up to see everything covered in snow, I'll have breakfast then I will have to shovel it... boohoo poor me! I hope I stay warm!

Miss ya all and can't wait to see you!!
