I've just started using 🟦🦋 and finding the #uglydogs all over again has reminded me how much I love this community.

The dog bus. The BBQ place. Blowhole. Chimkin skin. Feelings boxes. Cranberry bogs.

It's good to be back.

I remember discovering you & JEEMS and MAC and Blair and the dogs. And running around my office making people nuts because I would read to them and then crying about the Igivearod and Bler and Pepe.

My coworkers already knew I was a nutbar but all the sudden they started bringing me…

Buried stories of races and sled dogs and I turned them onto Honest Dog Books. Honestly, I got involved in #Uglydogs because of learning about Blair & Q from you & Jeems. I lurked then, no acct, so I owe you both a huge thank you.

And so many other #Uglydogs that made me feel less lonely and lead me Golden Ratio. So please know you have more positive impact than you’ll ever hear about.

Standing in my kitchen crying as Bler and the team came into Nome 💜
This picture is on my fridge and always will be.

That's the year I accidentally met Toni's dad and almost had to shiv a guy twice my size who shoved in front of me at the start after I'd been standing there 3 hrs.

The snow was so beautiful!

I remember Bler interviewing Lance Mackey in a weird outdoor gear store in Anchorage, comforting a very stressed out Bler’s mom in the while waiting for a school bus to the restart, going Bleral, watching her finish beside a pool while celebrating my BIL’s 40th bday, and the birth of the Igivearod

This event?! I Think we drove past that store on our way to the Ceremonial Start this year.

uwmeg97.bsky.social•10 days ago

That’s the one! I walked past it this year and it’s still weird 😂

I almost stopped in just because

I remember meeting you, Jeems, and Mac and being introduced to the #UglyDogs. I was self-employed & working from home in a town where I didn't have many friends. Bler's stories and this community on the 🐦 app made me feel less alone.
And I remember hitting refresh 100000 times on a snowy Tuesday.

I remember Blair saying she had no idea what was going on until he reached a remote village where the schoolteacher came up and embraced her with tears in her eyes

"They've been doing WHAT?" 😭

Oh man, my face hurt so much reading that. The BEAM I had.
