On this day, 7 years ago, I ran with @ataokennel.bsky.social for the first time after happening to meet @goggdog42.bsky.social at a theater event. I am so grateful for the last seven years of friendship and growth I've had with you both and the team. I'll never be able to say thank you enough ❤️

#UglyDogs Jeff King has some ideas I hope the Iditarod people consider, worth a read! h/t @akchick.bsky.social

Inspiration for all #uglydogs and their pups!

I was at my sisters today and my youngest nibbling was hooking random things up to his bike. I told him that we can hook a dog up to his bike and run. He got the biggest grin on his face. I created a monster. #uglydogs

#uglydogs In cold weather (below zero) what make and model of doggy booties should i consider? I have a flerfy husky

Officially introducing Queso. For anyone who has been following me for a little bit, this girl came from the same kennel that I rescued “Blind Mike” from last spring. Queso (and another friend) are here with me for a better life.

Take a few moments to comment on the Federal Register about the roadless rule and our forests! More info here:

Looking to make a difference for wildlife and the wild habitat critters need to survive? You really otter speak up to defend the Roadless Area Conservation Rule by September 19! We've made taking action easy, just click here. —> wildernesswatch.salsalabs.org/oppose-roadl...

The Roadless Rule has protected nearly 60 million acres of roadless national forests since 2001. But now, the Trump administration wants to strip protections from 45 million of those acres. The public comment period is only open until Sept. 19th. Please add your voice ➡️ https://bit.ly/3IeiP1D

The Roadless Rule was created because we wanted #forests protected for people, #birds, and all #wildlife--and an end to roadbuilding and logging. Trump now wants to repeal it. Look at some of the millions of acres this landmark conservation policy has protected (left, Tongass National Forest) and...

A big rule change is moving through the federal process right now. It proposes rescinding the current “Roadless Rule” in some of the U.S. National Forests. The public comment period closes on September 19, 2025. www.rvtravel.com/usda-moves-r...

US folks, our forests are under threat. You have until the 19th to comment on the Roadless Rule to the USDA: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FS... Find your congress here for comment: www.congress.gov/members/find... And below explains how the roadless rule protects wilderness.

Some of you longtime #UglyDogs might remember when one of the @blairbraverman.bsky.social Alaskan huskies was absolutely freaked out by a small witch decoration hanging from a tree on a forest trail. Well, check out this service dog in training as it absolutely owns Home Depot's Halloween display!

#UglyDogs IKEA has moose friends! I love the description.

Happy Birthday to one of my favorite humans, @quincemountain.bsky.social Have a great day, Q! #uglydogs

Griffin says "send help!"

Meta AI is... something...

Dad was telling him we look with our eyes not our tongue. Obviously Stitch listens super well. 🙄🤦‍♀️

If life hands you lemons then make lemonade, but if life hands you bubbles, well, that’s just game on!

#uglydogs Brave dogs. Hero dogs. Explorer dogs.

For this month's experiment for @outsidemag.bsky.social, I tested out a sensory deprivation tank, along with special guest Sarah Marshall of @yourewrongabout.bsky.social. We both loved it?! www.outsideonline.com/health/welln...

So I mentioned life had been a bit more complicated than usual. And Mac reminded me that my packmates love a good story and love to be supportive. So...

RFK, RFK, how many folks did you kill today?

I have never seen something so explicitly political in my (Roman Catholic!) church bulletin

The FBI raided Bolton's house after Patel complained at length in his book about Bolton not wanting to hire him during the first Trump administration. Patel who also put Bolton on his published list of enemies, then this morning tweeted about the pending raid. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

New sledblob lineup, complete with names! #uglydogs

We haven’t done formal name introductions for the Jerk/Olive litter and after Ted took them on an excellent adventure to the secret forest this morning and fed them a great big meal, they were feeling pretty cute and content so here we go…

FOUND!

WALLACE, MICHIGAN - two missing alaskan huskies! They belong to a very good friend of mine and I am worried sick for her. Check your trail cams! Alaskans can travel very far very quickly! Contact Choixlibre Kennel on Facebook ASAP if sighted!

Like mother like daughter! @flightriskmushing.bsky.social #uglydogs On the left is Foucher who lives with Melissa and is Panthers bb. Fun fact: Foucher lives in the barrel Panther did.

Well, this does raise a couple of very pointed questions. Daniel Klein is DQ'ed from 2025 race after Ventana, who died during the race was found to be "in a later stage of pregnancy". #MusherSky

RACE REGISTRATION OPENS IN 14 DAYS So excited to be thinking of snow, dogs, and racing! September 1 2025 is THE date for your diaries to register for our 2026 Canadian Challenge. Here's what you need to know...... #UglyDogs

With everything going on, more every day, it’s a good habit to call your reps daily. 5calls.org has scripts you can use or modify. Staffers, who you should be nice to if you get, log every call, issue, and your position. This is the main feedback they get, it’s valuable, for both parties. #UglyDogs

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.” Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

Behaviores Report: 100% goode!

Doggust Day 16: Pomeranian. Part of the reason I like to do daily challenges is because it forces me not to overthink. Except when I do. Here's an example of me just repainting the whole thing at 8pm. #doggust #doggust2025

If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?

We must preserve the US Postal Service because UPS or FedEx would never do this.
