Our dogs (all of them!) have made the 2007 Tales of the Tundra Siberian Husky rescue group calendar (September's photo): http://www.siberescue.org/HowHelp/Calendar2007.html

This is a photo of everyone swarming Kit (our newest addition). In the pic, she looked a little overwhelmed, but has since adjusted to life in the dog pack. I will post some photos of the little one here soon.

Excavation two 1x1m units in proximity of a prehistoric Archaic fire pit feature:

I think I'm the only person in the planet who didn't have a MySpace account, so I set one up last night. If you are on MySpace, drop me a line!
