Elusive Nero.
Finely managed to get a picture of Nero, another of Siutiks pups. He has not been outside on many of our passes, got him yesterday afternoon.
Nero was the third born, he stood out being a bundle of black just out of the womb, turned into a nice looking pup with the ears and facial features of his mom. Nero has lots of company next door to his home, quite a racket erupts when territory is infringed.
Weather has been nice since Thursday, yesterday was quite warm, funny how it was just right walking down to the harbor but walking back into the sun it was "almost too warm", like about 17c.
I am of the opinion that the weather people should put a temperature monitor up in the community some place for a more accurate reading. The weather station is down near the airport and only 50 meters from the waters edge. I have no problem with it's location, but with modern technology it should be possible to get a reading that reflects the community as a whole.
We took an afternoon walk to the dock, people fishing there, ice had moved off a little, no fish at that time.
Seems Nain harbor is the only area with ice. I am told that all the bays in all areas are ice free, must be something blocking movement out Harmony run, or maybe it's just the winds and tides.
After the walk we had a couple beers at the Atsanik, quite busy for an afternoon, it being Friday and the end of the school year approaching may have contributed to the busyness.
Hint: Ignor the location map in the link to lodge.

Nice clean look. In keeping with all that white stuff you have up there. Gasp!
I don't know why our dogs go mental whenever regulars like yourself walk by - you'd think after all this time, they would know you! It is quite a racket they make, this is true, however, they LOVE Neo and maybe that's part of the reason for the cacophony!
Hi Jen,
I some times feel guilty when walking past with Siutik or going over to interact with Nero.
All is copasetic if it is just us humans. Plus we have crossed paths up in the hills and all was OK, except Siutik wanting to play.
Nero cuddles up to the one at the front, I’m sure some of it is protecting him but most of it is just the territorial thing.
Maybe Dogbait can offer up some expert advice as to how to deal with the little problem of five dogs barking all at once, two surround the electricity meter. Dogbait is an ex meter reader you know, mucho experience.
I was trying to add Nain to my weather tracker and the closest location I could find was Goose Bay. Do you have a suggestion for better info?
My suggestion. Shoot the lot!
Only kidding.
Wil, I get Nain on Weather Underground.
Oh my, sorry Jen, ol Dogbait is just joking………or. Maybe it’s the post retirement blues.
PD: I was going to suggest ‘weatherunderground’ too, depending on how you intend to apply it to your site.
lol...Thanks for pointing out the meter reading dilemma - I seriously had not considered that problem. Funny, no one ever mentioned it before!
