Grandma Beth's Baby Comes Home

After a year of magazine articles, hours with Beebe in front of the computer, and TV shows hoping to get a glance at a rare breed we finally were on the road to pick up her precious cargo. A 4lb , 12 week old Alaskan KleeKai! She was found in Pennsylvania and so our drive to meet Ken half way in West Viginia wasn't too bad. I don't think I've seen mom that excited in quite a number of years. She was and is beautiful! I don't know how long mom would have made it without her. She was still grieving so from Chief's death. Atka is truly sent from above. As we were trying to decide on a name I googled lists of Alaskan,Siberian Indian names and their meanings. It was easy to choose because of the meaning. Although it sounds strange, remember it is not a language you are used to speaking just as an Alaskan KleeKai isn't a breed you see every day. Atka is so rare, so special, so eccentric. "PR"SHALIMAR"S ATKA-QILAQ (guardian from the sky) is more than we could have ever expected. I call her Grandma Beth's baby because she takes her to PetSmart on a regular basis to buy her baby stuff. She has a car seat, but of course, a carrying sling, many toys, treats, clothes, yep I said clothes, even rain boots!! Atka has made friwnds with a kitten and they play together in moms apartment. For all who know mom this is a huge WOW. The most important thing is mom loves Atka. The love she has brought mom is beyond measure. Her face has a smile on it when she looks at her or even talks of her.
