Saturday, a dog with rabies was shot and put out of its misery. It was walking around sideways and foaming at the mouth and threatening people. Another teacher said she was walking by and saw the dog being put down.

There are dog problems here. There is no spay or neuter person and the dogs have litter after litter. There is one dog under the school and she is having litter number six soon.

Saturday night in Emmonak: I had a salmon dinner with a few other teachers and we talked about travels, etc. At 10 pm, I went home and the streets were filled with kids. Something was going on at the Community Center and the kids were outside playing. It was very windy, rain/snow mix and pretty bad weather. The kids were happy and throwing snowballs. Since the rain, you can make snowballs out of the snow. Before the rain, it was powder snow and it did not make snow balls. There were probably at least 30 snow mobiles outside the community center last night

Wow! That's scary about the rabies. No vet for animal vaccinations and care, huh?
Is Emmonak an incorporated city? Do they have a town council?

You should have joined the party Dad. Did they have karyoke?

Sorry to hear that there is no vet. Anybody know any vets that would want to set up shop in Emmonik, AK?
