Intro...

I had considered writing, throughout the summer, on one of my northern blogs, but after awhile I figured that wouldn't be the best idea. I've beem writing on Pang Bound throughout my stay in Pangnirtung, Nunavut; next year, however, I'll be logging in from Just Qik'in Around . How could I do a transition like that from Nova Scotia or Ottawa?

...and so, for the abovementioned reason, Canines and Coffeebeans was born...

I have a one year old chihuahua...all decked out in his holiday garb; isn't he cute? Gryphon. He will feature regularly.

My second full-time furry resident is Scarlett, a three year old chiweenie...that would be a chihuahua/weiner dog mix. She's gotten a bit surly in her old age, but she is able to charm anyone who spends more than twenty minutes with her. Another cutie...

The three of us have lived in the small hamlet of Pangnirtung, Nunavut for the past ten months. That's right, two dogs who definitely are better suited to the warmer climes of the south have been living on Baffin Island near the Arctic Circle. We've done ok. Though the supply of dog paraphernalia is ridiculously expensive up here, I packed it up before moving here and saved some change. Also, I've gotten into the habit of making treats and hunting down bones on the tundra...check out this caribou bone!

That's about it for today. Our doggy travel stories will begin sometime soon...
