King Eider & Real Alaska Woman


Kathleen (a teacher here) and I TRY to walk everynight after work....she usually has to pee about 1/2 way down the spit...well, it's winter and this IS Alaska, it's COLD....that doesn't stop her, that's what I call a REAL ALASKAN WOMAN!
My sister's dog, Eider (King Eider of Umnak) is in love...with rocks, that is....he carefully makes his selection (he likes the really big ones)..carries it to a nice spot, drops it, noses it around, rolls around on it, barks at it....then picks it up and does this over and over and over again. It's quite funny to watch....Here is his "Valentine's Day Eve" rock...he carried that one up and down the spit. Usually he will drop it and find another one...this one was "special".

  1. Neither rain, nor snow, nor Bering Sea winds will keep an ageing bladder from it's appointed rounds. I can soooo relate!

  2. I am usually soooo bundled up, I'd pee my pants before I could get unzipped, unsnapped, "undone"...so I try try try to make sure I don't have to go before we go out! Of course, sometimes it just doesn't matter and we have to do what we have to do no matter where we are!

  3. I've had the pleasure of watching King Eider's rock show. It never fails to crack me up and I think you should videotape him and make him an internet star.

  4. Hi Kelly! It cracks me up too....I really should tape it, maybe I can talk Sherrie into buying a digital camcorder OR buy her one for her 50th b-day?

  8. I agree - would make a funny video and he would be come a star on YouTube or maybe America's Funniest Video's (is that the name of the show? - I've only watched it a couple of times, but worth sending in - you never know.)
