We may not be in even comparable race times to the other competitors, but I am so proud of how far we have come as a team! Thank you for Emilie McGrane for loaning, Kaiya, the white husky to us to fill our 4 dog slot in the 4 dog class. <3 PC: Rich Besler

Swapping Grimm with Floyd's placement is looking so much better for us! #tworivers #wisconsin #pointbeach #dogs #mushing #drylandmushing

A nice little run in the rain. Swapping dog positions on the go to experiment with pace a bit more. #malinois #Labrador #tworivers #wisconsin

Seems like just yesterday that Floyd was potato sized and aptly nicknamed "Porky" because he was so stinking stocky as a puppy. Alas, I enjoyed the hike with you today, bud. The rain and lush forest were pleasant from start to finish. #malinois #belgianmalinois #wisconsin #hiking

Nothing quite as healing as exploring nature in the rain with a dog. 💚 #malinois #pointbeach #wisconsin

A beautiful Memorial Day paddle. We saw plenty of turtles enjoying the sunlight along our roughly 9 mile paddle. Dog is "Mercy" and cat is "Scrub."

My "I'll never bite or get mouthy" malinois who is so different from the other 4 in stature, coat type, and needs. He runs his own laps without falter, quick to catch on, took to scent work immediately, but he'll not put his mouth on anyone. A happy boy, Graffiti!

Simply incredible satellite imagery of a dust storm hitting Chicago this evening.

This dog politely asked for a musician's drumstick in the middle of their performance. Always excited to find a fellow stick lover. 12/10

Just FYI, the training cart for dog mushing can also be used as a garden cart if you need help persuading your partner to let you get into the sport. 😏 #dogsledding #dogmushing #sleddogs #dogtraining #dog #dogs

"Cricket" our 8-year old girl giving quite the stink eye to the fella holding the flirt pole. Even as a senior, she's feisty and athletic as can be! #belgianmalinois #malinois #dog

"Rudder" - while his coat is shiny and he is a muscular boy, lord he is a tiny boy. It doesn't help in looking like a lab that he has such little fat content on him, but he is happy being a fit and athletic boy! #lab #labrador #retreiver #labradorretriever #blacklab #dog #fit

"Floyd" our muscular boy who is absolutely the do-everything dog. From anything physically demanding to using his noggin (and nose) for scent work, he does such a great job. #belgianmalinois #malinois #dog

"Rudder" our black lab. He is a fit little dude that certainly loves the flirt pole. #blacklab #labrador #labradorretriever #retriever #fitdogs #fitdog

Internal budget proposal document asks for $40 billion cut from Health and Human Services with severe cuts to key programs.

I feel like I say this every couple weeks, but...times are strange and I haven't been on social media much. I still have my job (thankfully, for now) and while things are tough I'm trying to stay grounded & joyful. Not always easy. But here's a stunning new #jwst image...enjoy ❤️✨

A coronal mass ejection is en route from the Sun! This footage from GONG reveals two filaments of plasma erupting on the weekend, the latter of which is predicted to reach Earth tomorrow afternoon/evening. A strong geomagnetic storm (and lower-latitude aurora) is possible.

One last thing! I donated a bunch of hamster art to the Bright Horizon hamster rescue Redbubble including ‘Only Hams, cheeks for days’ and ‘A KNIFE’ stickers and tees! www.redbubble.com/people/brigh...

My regal Moobear on a recent hike. My life feels full with this boy in it 💚 #aussie #australianshepherd #wisconsin

"Mercy" my heart dog. The one who always got the most attention on other social media platforms. He is an Australian Shepherd with brindle points. #aussie #australianshepherd #wisconsin

My 8-year old girl, Cricket. The fog began to roll in during a recent hike in a red pine forest. She is too much fun to take photos of, because she is so willing for anything I ask of her. #malinois #wisconsin #tworivers #beglianmalinois #hike #forest

A shame the folks that wanted this boy for police work never committed. My perk is this dude can sprint 2 miles at an average of (currently) 19 mph while solo mushing and he only gets better each year. I really want pups out of him for mushing and general working abilities - he is my best mal.

It’s muddy puddle season! Stop in and check out our rain boots, ponchos, umbrellas and waterproof shoes.

Hey, could we practice kindness to the stores that start getting chicks in this time of year? The panic chick buying is certainly active, but the terrible attitude towards the employees at these stores is unnecessary.

I'm okay with having reps for call centers be from other countries, but could we please have companies put effort into call quality so language barriers are easier to navigate? Pretty please? 😅

After a run, Revenant, one of my female malinois, likes to run up under my arm to stand on her hind legs to get me to scratch her chest while we get the boys and sled put away. She's a sweet goofy girl.

We hit our PB recorded speed tonight at 18 mph on a 4 mile run. Such good bad brown dogs ☺️ Nahak sled & harnesses Kibuyat Dog Gear lines #malinois #belgianmalinois #sleddogs #dogsledding #dogmushing #mushing

Our lab, Rudder, giving it his all for the flirt pole. I need to work on improving my black dog action photography skills, but this is one of the few that turned out of Rudder over the years.

My big handsome Moobear (Mercy is his real name) - I adore this boy more than anyone could ever know.

Where has the time gone? Mercy, my heart dog, turns 8 years old today! I can't believe 8 years have passed already. It's still so vibrant in my mind the day you came home and how quickly you learned all that was needed while I was very very ill. Let's do your favorite things today, bud. 💚

First time with the dogs on ice - learn by doing - I'd like to make adjustments to our gear, but this was a lovely trek with great dogs on opening day of sturgeon spearing 2025. Lake Winnebago sure has some amazing communities surrounding it.

The little runt from my last litter, Revenant, has some of the best proportions from the bunch. She is such a lovely little lady. The hours spent keeping her going as a 3 week old puppy when she struggled were all so worth it! She's such a spitfire to have around!

Revenant looking to me intently awaiting for her release cue.

My pretty boy by the marina. Happy to have this fella at my side.

That is *her* ball. But you can totally bop it, she actually likes the push back. It's an invitation for her to punch you with said ball. :)
