Today a big part of our group took the boat to Juneau.  At 8:30am I was off to the grocery store with a couple of the gals.  We were picking up the ingredients for a Milk Can Dinner to be held on Sunday afternoon.  

 The group will be gone to Juneau for 12 hours so this is our day to dog walk.  We had 7 dogs to look after, feed and walk.  We have one puppy we are watching, so she required more walks than the others.  We took her out for the first time at 10:30am.  At 11:30am we had an early lunch and then began walking the other 6 dogs.  At 1:30pm we were done with the dogs for a few hours so we headed up town to do a little more shopping.

 We visited the Skagway Museum & Archives.  Skagway’s most treasured artifacts, memorabilia, photographs and historical records of the past century are in the museum.  They are renowned for their great collection of Alaska Native heritage collection of baskets, beadwork and carvings and for its Gold Rush collection of artifacts and tools used by the gold seekers. 

We checked in with Spike when we got back and he says his cold is a little better.  He went to see the doctor here and got medicine to take so hopefully in a few days he will be doing a whole lot better.

At 4:30pm we started the dog walking again.  Bella, the puppy was first and then it was on to the rest of them.  We got that job done again and they should be good now until their owners get home.

We were going to grill out but it is too windy so we just had some leftovers and called it good.

Seven o’clock rolled around so fast, it’s time to walk Bella again, one more time.  She was real frisky and wanted to play.  We walked, fed her and got her back into her cage.  Our dog sitting is done.

We are both tired and ready to settle in for the night.
