The title of this blog post says it all. More time than I care to admit has passed since the last missive. In my defense, events have unfolded that kept this Alaskan Klee Kai and her companion, Riley immensely busy.

As you may remember it was just before Thanksgiving of last year.The holidays were coming up with all that that entails. Parties, friends, family and events all conspired to keep me and Riley busy. We greeted friends and family as they came to celebrate the holiday gatherings. Yips, howls and barks were given to all as welcomes to our home. In return, a shower of attention and love was bestowed upon us. Special treats as well as presents were given to us for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The holiday season also marked the time when Steven came home from college to visit. What joy as our pack was complete! We got used to having Steven around to take us on walks, play ball with me, scratch Riley’s head and just in general, love us.

New Years then came and with it Steven’s return to Ann Arbor and his final semester at U-Mich. We missed him but knew that in less than 5 months he would return. And the time seemed to pass quickly. One day, Mom and Dad flew back to U-Mich to see Steven graduate and help him pack for his return home. They were gone for 5 days. But upon their return, the pack was restored to its full complement as Steven had come home.

Boy were we happy. Much noise was heard as we sang and barked in joyous celebration. Riley jumped up into Steven’s lap and wagged his tail in furious delight. I ran around the living room, yipping and singing with abandon. Both Alaskan Klee Kai were really tired that evening.
