YOUR DAUGHTER IS HARD CORPS!!!!
How did she manage to obtain a wolverine as a pet??
I always heard you Alaskan's were tough, but if your women folk have wolverines for pets, I am thoroughly convinced I would never make it in Alaska.
What do you men folk keep as pets? Kodiak Bears???

I only saw one Wolverine in my 10 or so years working pipeline projects. I was driving between Pump One and Pump Two on the haul road with 20 below or so and whiteout conditions; waiting for a semi to come buy so I could tail him; they sit higher up and can see a little further.
Anyway, I got out to relieve my self, with the pickup door open to try and keep at least some of it off me, when Mr Wolverine came around the backside of the pickup doing some kind of search and destroy work. I just dang near swallowed my chew, my heart missed a couple beats as I tried to clamp it off, get in the truck, get the door closed, think of something to do if he beat me to it and how to make out the accident report etc. etc. Weird stuff goes through your mind quick, ya know? Anyway, I must have surprised him too because he took about a 15 yard detour around the pickup then went back to the side of the road and resumed his march until he disappered into the white. Unforgetable.
