My life has been turned topsy-turvy this week with the arrival of Mommy's friends from New York City. We picked them up on Sunday and we dropped them back to the airport this morning. Whew! I think I have mentioned before how hard it is to be a good hostess, especially when the weather is crappy (rainy and chilly for two of the three days they were here).
One of the highlights was catching a silver salmon and some rockfish for dinner, which I had a chance to sample. Yummm! And then one of Mommy's friends bought some fresh Dungeness crab (a specialty here in Ketchikan). Double-yummmm!
This was Mommy and two of her friends trying to prove just how tough I am! We went on a 3-hour 50 minute hike up the mountain to two lakes. We actually hiked past the snow line, forging through treacherous snow and ice fields. This is me and Mike romping on some snow at the lower lake. Mommy actually fell on her butt climbing down; I tried not to laugh too hard at her . . .
This is Catherine, a little person. She was my pal during those two-and-a-half days
As you all know, I cam capable of catching my own crustaceans to eat. I find it much easier to beg my Mommy's guests for scraps, though. This is me enjoying the Dungeness crab; pardon the crab guts on my face . . .

Glad you had a fun, if busy week. Don't you look cute with crab guts on you. You are my hero, Frances Louise, you try everything and do everything! You are so cool.
I wish you lived closer. I bet we would have a ball together.
