At about 8:00PM there was a knock at the door and a local was trying to sell me some Inuit Paintings. I declined on the paintings, however as he was leaving he asked if the puppy on the porch was mine? I looked out and sure enough there was a cute little puppy shivering in the corner.
Let me tell you a little bit about about the motel where I was staying. The Motel is one of two in Cambridge Bay. It has a number of efficiency units with a fridge, stove and 2 bedrooms. In the picture below, the unit I was staying in was the first unit on the right.
The unit itself is modern and in very nice condition. Below are a couple of pictures of the inside of the unit.
Anyway, getting back to the puppy. The first thing I did after talking to the vender was go back inside and call the front desk. Unfortunately there was no answer, which actually was the case most of the time I called the front desk. Perhaps the only little complaint I had about staying in the Green Row Inn in Cambridge Bay. The next thing I did was call Jacquie since she is the most knowledgable person I know about puppy dogs. She said I should bring the little puppy inside out of the weather. So, I put on all of my outside gear and went out to get the little guy and carried him into the unit. Each unit has a heated front porch equipped with an independent thermostat. It was my plan to turn the heat way down to make it comfortable for the puppy and then let the dog stay in the front porch for the night. I really hadn't thought much past that since I was supposed to leave the next night, however felt it was the best thing to do given the circumstances.
I went and picked up the little fellow, he was the loveliest little ball of fur that I had ever felt. I carried him into the porch, set him down and while I turned around to shut the door, he ran out before I could stop him. I went out to get him but he was gone. Hopefully he ran home.
See pictures of the little guy below - he's so cute!!!!
