Name Game

"Possibly a variant of the German surname Riker, a derivative of Low German rike "rich". It may have been altered by association with the popular name prefix Ry."
Ryker got his name from Jamie his breeder. I believe she said he was named after his Grandfather. We had a name picked out before we met him but when we saw him his name seemed to fit so we kept it.  Man of the House is a born and raised German : )

Animal Rescue

We have also been in the rescue business. The other day it was a little live mouse the cat brought in alive. Ryker scooped it up in his mouth, saw me and ran outside with it. I made him drop it and it was amazingly alright. We took him into the forest and let him go.

Next was a female robin. brought in alive but a bit stressed! I put her in the hanging flower basket to rest. She sat there for an hour and then flew away. I always feel better when we have a successful rescue!

Frisbee @ the park!

I love to play Frisbee. I'm getting pretty good at catching it in the air too.

Boy, that was a good workout. Mom says I'm not over weight anymore. Now I'm toned and buff!  Here that Emma Rose and Eva   : ) 

some of the Cat Pack

Here are a few photo's of some of my Cat Pack...this is Cleo and she is the ruler of the house. She is 14 and cranky!

This is Karma, she is sweet and a mighty hunter.  She brings them in alive!

Kosmo was feeling photogenic and hogged the Camera.  He is my humpy cat and very tolerant. Also a mighty hunter!

I love my cat pack. They are cool and bring me all kinds of goodies, alive and dead!

Road Trip

We took a drive up Turnagain Arm heading to a lovely greenhouse call Forget-me-not Nursery in Indian Alaska.

Mom said it was time to leave...pssshhh, I'm not ready yet!

However, it is a very pretty drive to and from the Nursery.  We stopped and saw Mt. goats way up on the peaks with their babies. We saw an eagle and a swan. I got to play in a waterfall and then we stopped at Potter's Marsh and I saw lots of water birds with their young!

Can you see the Canadian goose family in the water above my head?  Here is a closer view...

 And the next one is a Grebe with a baby on it's back!

All in all, a pretty cool outing!
