More: My husband and I got Alyeska one year for Christmas. She is the happiest when my mother and I take her on her weekend hikes. She loves being in the woods rolling in mud and swimming in the ponds we pass. Alyeska is our joy and is very near to my husband’s heart, she knows when he is having a bad day and she will snuggle him and divert his attention to her. She is our little peanut.
