Future Dogsled Racer

Since the pool isn't open yet, the only people I really know here are the two other lifeguards I work with. In the rare event that I am not working or sleeping things can be a bit lonely. To rectify this, my neighbour (the other lifeguard Kim) and I have taken to holding random puppies hostage in our homes. Most locals seem to have some sort of Husky mutt tied out front of their houses, yet the puppies, which seem to be in high abundance at this time of year run free, ie perfect for random strangers to kidnap for a few hours without anyone noticing. Our latest puppy encounter lives just behind the yellow palace, perfect for frequent visits. The other day we lured him in with leftover meat (obviously from Kim's dinner not mine).



It didn't take much to persuade him. The meat was gone in seconds.

Due to the fact that we are borrowing her without the knowledge of her "owner" we don't know her real name. Inspired by one of the CDs left for us in the glove box of the blue beast by a popular Arctic rapper who goes by the name of "Young Black Inuk", the puppy is now referred to as Inuk and hope it has in no way any sort of derogatory connotations.


I may have to take this dog home with me in August.
