Happy Tuesday: Fun Facts about Alaska with Rocky

 

 We thank our Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus   

Dear Auntie HiC,

A few weeks ago I received special a request from our good friends at da tabbies o trout towne regarding bears and salmon. 

It just so happens that Mom knows a good bit about salmon.  In the summer of 1996, the Peeps  spent 3 weeks  camping in Alaska & Canada. 

They spent time with friends, Wayne, Scarlett & Matt Hall, who live on the Yukon River in Eagle, Alaska.

It was salmon season, and The Halls were busy catching & drying salmon for their sled dogs. 

Salmon is a common and beneficial food for sled  dogs. Historically salmon was a staple in their diet, especially in regions like Alaska where salmons runs are abundant. 

Salmon provides essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids & protein, which are important for sled dogs health and performance.

Bears consume large quantities of salmon during the summer to build up fat reserves for the long winter hibernation. 

Sled dogs & bears also find it yummy for the tummy! 

Mom spent a day in the river helping (staying out of the way) catch and clean the fish. The tall gentleman with the cane, Chief, makes the nets & helps pull them out of the river. Chief is also blind. One of the nicest men Mom has ever met. 

Quite an experience!

Thanks for the question & enjoy the video of the delicious salmon!
