This is how the rest of the huskies play: very rough-and-tumble! Archie: red, fluffy, and sneaks off to dig in his hole under the boat trailer. Charlie: black and white with long feathery fur, most active and much bark. Daisy: short, white, elderly, bad […] [Original post on mountains.social]

CW: more squeaking and lot of barking Zeena loves keep-away, but the other dogs don't understand her play style, so we took the ball outside to see if we could mix things up a bit. It worked! Sort of. Zeena never fully gave up the ball to the other huskies […] [Original post on mountains.social]

CW: loud squeaking! We stopped by our neighbor husky friends again this morning. As usual, Zeena was most interested in the other dogs' toys, while everyone else played outside. (She doesn't get toys at home because she'll reduce them to shreds in short […] [Original post on mountains.social]

All city dogs deserve activities like this! Not all (our huskies especially) could be trusted off leash, but escaping the concrete jungle for real nature is something we all (humans and canines alike) should have access to.

If we can get some steady money coming in soon enough we might be able to afford to adopt this cutie who is currently in holding with a foster here in Minneapolis. She reminds me of my first husky Rio in looks and Gypsy (whom we lost last year) in temperament.

Tonttu took full advantage of the stream flowing out from Mound Springs Park on our warm hike today. He could not stop laying down in the stream as we hiked the path that follows it. Pawing at riffling water was something Gypsy used to do. It's sweet that Tonttu is picking up the habit. 🥹

Five years ago this lady’s world flipped upside down and she came to live with me. We do alright. #mushersky #uglydogs (I don’t actually remember the date, she was on a trial period at first since she was pretty high energy for a pet.)

Can we please get a little boost from the #UglyDogs pack? Our huskies are very sad because we haven't been able to afford our usual autumn hiking adventures this year. To say finances are tight would be an understatement. We're anxious to get @ordercollie.com working again!

Do you like cute #husky videos? Want to see more videos like this? Then please help spread the word that @ordercollie.com is looking for work! He even slipped a husky video into his portfolio. jeff-eddy.super.site He needs work to fund more husky adventures! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-KP...

Now I want to know who overthrew King Wolf and drove him out of his castle (presumably in Scotland because Thistles) and made him sad.

Training with the Fritz cart while the ATV is in the shop (fate still TBD). Two small teams so I don’t die. Short runs to beat the warmup. Kuiper lead! Easy peasy. Hoping to know my ATV’s fate sometime today.

3:30 AM: "What the hell is all that rat-a-tat-tat-tatting going on out there?" 4:00 AM: *finally peace* 7:00 AM: *cement truck rumbles by* "Hmmm. I wonder if some project manager on our neighborhood road reconstruction team screwed up and forgot cement was […] [Original post on mountains.social]

Zeena has left an indelible mark on our neighborhood! (Jeff didn't realize it was still wet when he let her wander over to investigate.)

Taking a mental health day today. Still plenty to do, but I'm keeping myself scarce from colleagues on Zoom and Slack. We escaped to Spring Lake Park to walk the bike trail past the bison enclosures on what was supposed to be a cloudy day. Surprise! Not so […] [Original post on mountains.social]

Was anyone else as happy as Slate about Monday morning?

Neighborhood walks are pretty routine, even with a pretty trail down an isthmus between a couple of ponds mid-way. But this time we ran into a friendly painter who was capturing the early fall light through the birch trees on the ridgeline! We might have […] [Original post on mountains.social]

Moments from Duluth and Marquette, Michigan.

Please help us find work for @sofawolfone.bsky.social! A lot of life is on hold right now, including any thought of vacations to explore new areas with the huskies. Want to see more exciting photos of huskies having adventures? Send work and/or spread the word!

We shall live forever!

We’ll be out again next weekend; preliminary forecast looking warmer and wetter. Much needed RAIN coming this week should help with the drought! Now to rest up…some more. 💤 . #GlastenburyResidency25 #TypeTwoFunClub #WylieandWolfy #DogsThatHike #retiredsleddog

I'm pretty sure this is a hostage situation with some added Stockholm syndrome thrown in. #Caturday 🐈.

#SilentSunday Light breezes making waves across late-summer sumac several years ago.

Typical Midwestern autumn hiking conditions! 🤣

Our family dog Nelli passed away yesterday. She was very dear to me, we used to take long walks in the forest and she was always so excited whenever I came to visit at home. I hope she has plenty of forests to run in wherever she is now💚

Taken this morning, another beautiful fall day #landscapephotography #photography #leica #mountains

Huh! I guess we got lucky. We popped open a bottle of this prosecco with some fellow husky owners at a recent puppy playdate. No explosions. No one harmed.

All done with ‘Faye in the Flowers’! I’ll play around with the colors on this one a bit, so no two will be the same. www.blueeyesandspitfire.com/mush-art

When you try to get a beautiful photo at the beach, but it smells so good you have to roll in it. #huskysky #dogpics ##dogsofbluesky #largedog #beach #PalosVerdes #husky

It's silly, but I wouldn't want to be the one who put that Husky in that get-up.

I think this point is far more important than we realize. The fact that we consume completely different media showing us completely different things is a huge driver of division.

The Virginia Creeper vines climbing a stand of young walnut trees were the most spectacular color of this early autumn season. This photo gives a hint at what they looked like. I've found that my Pixel phone's camera loves to blow out colors in bright light […] [Original post on mountains.social]

Another loop around Shaar's Bluff at Spring Lake Park as a round of autumn warmth moves through. Zeena was particularly in her element, pouncing everything she could hear in the grasses at the farthest end of her flexi leash!

Just another quick hike at Lebanon Hills this afternoon as a break to get away from the computer. Fall colors, sounds and scents are starting to build!

Apparently a 4.25 mi run was not enough for Zeena or Tonttu! They had PLENTY of energy left afterwards: #Huskies

For followers of this account, @ordercollie.com is the human seen in photos wearing a field vest & carrying his phone mounted on a walking stick. He's just started a great new program to help people keep their lives moving toward their goals enjoyably & sustainably: minus the guilt and hustle!

Every day gives us the opportunity to take a step towards where we want to be tomorrow. As any hiker will tell you, big steps cover a lot of ground quickly, but wear you out. Seasoned hikers know it's a lot more sustainable to take little steps and enjoy the scenery. Enjoy the path to your goals.

Apparently, every first Wednesday of the month, 1 PM, there's a coyote party at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Sadly, neither Zeena or Tonttu could be convinced to join in. #Huskies #Coyotes

They're here! My sled dog magnet set by @bs.knezek.art arrived today! I haven't attached the included black ribbon gangline yet but I love the details on them so much! #UglyDogs

The trail starts at the bottom of the bluffs that overlook the Mississippi River, crosses low prairie, then climbs a short way to the top of Waconia Bluffs, which look over a side valley that empties into the Miss. R. Along the way, we checked on a stand of […] [Original post on mountains.social]

Last Sunday was another gorgeous day for hiking. We swung down to Frontenac State Park to visit the Waconia Bluffs and see how the prairies there were doing in the late summer. #huskies #hiking

I love my chronological timeline! In the morning I get the frosty top layer of angry Eastern US folk, then the soft rich Brit/EU layer that is like good loam—a mix of anger, sheep farmers, and standing stones, then a global till layer before the final bitter hard clay of overnight Western US.

The St. Croix River is rising with recent rains, but we still had a little bit of sandy shoal where Trout Brook empties out into the wide river. Perfect for huskies to cool off at the end of a hike! Zeena in particular liked exploring the reedy backwaters […] [Original post on mountains.social]

Glorious cool air from Canada! Last night we had a quick line of thunderstorms move through with a cold front bringing cool air from the north, and MIRACULOUSLY not full of wildfire smoke! Temps dipped into the 60s F and it was wonderful after a summer of […] [Original post on mountains.social]
