Happy Tuesday: Fun Facts about Alaska with Rocky

 

 We thank our Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus   


Dear Auntie HiC,

A few weeks ago I received special a request from our good friends at da tabbies o trout towne regarding bears and salmon. 


It just so happens that Mom knows a good bit about salmon.  In the summer of 1996, the Peeps  spent 3 weeks  camping in Alaska & Canada. 
They spent time with friends, Wayne, Scarlett & Matt Hall, who live on the Yukon River in Eagle, Alaska.


It was salmon season, and The Halls were busy catching & drying salmon for their sled dogs. 

Salmon is a common and beneficial food for sled  dogs. Historically salmon was a staple in their diet, especially in regions like Alaska where salmons runs are abundant. 
Salmon provides essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids & protein, which are important for sled dogs health and performance.

Bears consume large quantities of salmon during the summer to build up fat reserves for the long winter hibernation. 
Sled dogs & bears also find it yummy for the tummy! 

Mom spent a day in the river helping (staying out of the way) catch and clean the fish. The tall gentleman with the cane, Chief, makes the nets & helps pull them out of the river. Chief is also blind. One of the nicest men Mom has ever met. 
Quite an experience!
Thanks for the question & enjoy the video of the delicious salmon!

Awww Monday: Kat and Rocky

  

 We thank our Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus 




Dear Auntie HiC, 
As you know, Mom's back was misbehaving last week.  We stayed by her side.  We are most thankful she is back to feeling chipper
We have two very AWWW worthy emails today that have been waiting.

#1
Well it’s official; I am now King Kat!
Katie, my sweetheart sent me this beautiful, crocheted gold crown. 👑 




Although I’m now “royalty”, you may still refer to me as just “Kat”!




However, please refer to my sweetheart as Queen Katie❣️



Thank you Katie & Ms. Carole❣️
Kat

Dearest Nephew Kat your very gorgeous Queen Katie Isabella  picked the PURRfect color to match your Royal Eyes  abd Tabbiness
Love Auntie HiC

#2

Dear Auntie HiC, 

Like you, Mom enjoys sending birthday cards to friends. Unlike you, she’s not talented & creative. 
Your cards are always special & purr-sonal❣️


After having a pleasant transaction with Ms. Ann when I ordered the Cat Mom shirt, I decided to browse her Facebook page. 

I found the most cheerful birthday cards. The cards are crafted from high-quality stock paper, include self-sealing envelopes, and feature Ms. Ann’s logo.  





I highly recommend the cards!

Hugs your Ginger Nephew Rocky


Dearest adorable Ginger Nephew Rocky...what a fine five star Review!! WOW Auntie HiC 1000% agrees with your review too.  Ms. Ann is so very creative and fun and Auntie HiC is so happy to have discovered her blog
Lovingly Auntie HiC
