Still basting through the trails with two 4-dog teams. Hoping the storm midweek brings us mostly snow (and not so much rain) so I can run everybody together!

Happy Howlidays from the Spitfire pack to yours!

This is two separate teams, I just realized I color-coded the dogs perfectly. Team one is Faye/Kuiper, Laika, Atlas. Team two is Hopper/Sagan, Blitz, Hubble. So a black and grey/white leader set, black/white team dog, agouti wheel dog. Funny coincidence XD

Crisp.

Snow dances are working! We’ve got to check and groom our sled trails, but hopefully we’ll be back on the runners within the next few days.

The war ended and women lost, I guess.

We’ve got a good start to winter with snow on the ground and a cold forecast to start December. We need a little more for sleds, which may come over the next few days. Hunting season ends this weekend and we’ll be doing trail prep in between hunting hours. Fingers crossed for a good snow season!

This is my Denali's littermate sister as well as Willow and Atlas's mom. Absolutely crushed that she's lost.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Working on making Kuiper a lead dog. He’s got potential, but I think he gets a bit bored on our repetitive home trail. Hopefully we get enough snow for sleds soon, as that opens up more trail access for us.

I had a quiet holiday with the animals while Sheridan visits with his family in PA. Thankful for a safe, cozy home, good friends and family (who I’ll see over the coming weeks), good health and the ability to do what we love out here.

Hmm.

Ruby is getting, um, quite large. She might weigh as much as Faye by the time she hits *4* months. Though to be fair, Faye is a peanut.

So this is kinda neat—we're currently ranked 4th in the 6-dog all breed class for ISDRA. Granted, this is mostly because we've attended two sanctioned events vs just one, but still fun to see. 😎

That’s a wrap for North East ‘25! We were a bit slower day 2 (crazy wind and wetter trail), but still bumped up a few spots for a respectable 6th place out of 12 finishing teams. Not bad for yanking around a heavy Fritz rig. We’re behind the speedy hounds but right up there with the best Sibe teams!

Happy fifth birthday, Atlas! Celebrated the best way, out on the trail together 🩶

charisma is the one thing all the angry little nerds can’t build and can’t buy no matter how rich they get or how much of society they destroy and I just think that’s beautiful

Day one at North East is a wrap! Just need to get a hotel (instead of camping) and ponchos to ensure good weather! Dogs did much better than last year for their first round. Day two tomorrow!

my jaw is on the floor and yet im completely unsurprised. trump’s only political conviction is that he loves a handsome winner

The thing is, I am doing everything in my power to go unconscious when I’m crammed in a prison of human bodies stuffed inside a metal sky tube. Airline travel these days is fucking miserable and I’m gonna wear yoga pants and a hoodie over my face.

JD Vance is such a scum sucking bottom feeder the couch is making him sleep on the bed.

Not sure why she has a swollen paw pad, seeing as her feet never touch the ground.

I was chuckling at that post saying we should be prepared for people we "admire" to be in the Epstein Files because it's definitely a you problem if you think politicians and money grubbing rich people and Silicon Valley creeps are worthy of admiration in the first place.

Dems are far from perfect but it was nice when the government wasn't actively trying to kill us.

Same, that site is fully useless. Just bots and nazis.

Took Faye to the vet yesterday to get her stubborn swollen paw pad checked out. Vet didn’t seem overly concerned, but also didn’t have any solutions besides continuing topical treatments. She’s not limping or otherwise bothered by it, so I guess we’ll see how it looks in another week or two.

There's a deep, unsettling irony about our HR department using an AI Chatbot to field our inquiries.

Release ALL the files. I don’t care who is in them, they need to be held responsible and face consequences.

Lord I see what you have done for others...

"hey can you jump on a quick call?"

We need people to be open to learning and changing. It's the only way through.

OG Siberians and present day working Sibes. 🩶🤍

people are so incredibly dumb, I'm mad that I felt pressured to be smart my entire life

crazy IG em_clarkson

Personally, my experience of this government compared to the last one is things are getting noticeably worse (and more right wing) in multiple ways. I'm not aware of anything that's getting better.

If I see the phrase “underage women” one more time Imma lose my godamned mind. A woman is by definition an adult. Sexually mature “Underage women” isn’t a thing Words matter GIRLS CHILDREN Your President raped children Yay about the government reopening though… I guess

Maybe jinxed us by saying how good the team was looking. We’ve been training very consistently & have some paw pad injuries. Sagan’s seems to be resolved after a day of rest and foot cream. Faye’s is a bit more stubborn, so she’s been getting Epsom salt foot soaks and a round of meds.

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal." JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"

The president of the united states is a pedophile rapist who was best buddies with Jeffrey Epstein and spent hours with an underage victim at Epstein's home. Now he's currently huddled in the situation room directing a cover up about it like it's a seal team 6 operation. Do I have that right?

Feeling like I might ruin a workplace today, as a little treat.

Oh man, I sure wish Trump's extensive connections to Jeffrey Epstein had been known before the election

Bracing for all the beautiful northern lights photos when we got… clouds for days.

Hmm, suspicious.

[EPILEPSY WARNING! FLASHING SCREEN TOWARDS END] Very fun video made by a friend (Andrew Comoletti) from our Osceola race!

Snow has returned.
