Praline would make an EXCELLENT couch warmer if anyone needs one, she is genuinely the cuddliest. #uglydogs #mushersky

#uglydogs I am so, so proud of Quince for what he accomplished on the trail. He is a remarkable, genuine, caring person & I feel fortunate to be one of his supporters. And who'd have thought Pepé could run almost 700 miles at 11.5 yrs of age!! Pepé is The Queen!! @quincemountain.bsky.social

The very first Sled Dog of the Day here on Bluesky is... Pepé! At nearly 12 years old, she continues to lead her team and came out of retirement to help musher Quince Mountain on this year's Iditarod journey. She made it to Nome with Blair in 2019! Go Pepé & Quince! #uglydogs #iditarod

Happy first birthday to our big leggy eggy, Kuiper! I’m not sure what the future will hold for him, but we’re sure happy he’s here.

Baby murder pony in my backyard tonight. Did not pet because murder.

Nicolas Petit's (Bib #7) lead dogs on the Chena River at the ReStart of #Iditarod53.

As Q approaches the half way point...I just realized that I have petted a world class athlete. And had dinner with an Iditarod finisher and current Iditarod competitor. #UglyDogs #Qditarod

Queen Pepe runs the world! #UglyDogs

Finally, it is PUPPY TRAINING TIIIIIMMEEEEE!!! This is one of my favorite and most rewarding parts of the sport. We are going to shoot to get as many hookups on Lanayru and Ordona as the weather allows!

Stunningly beautiful footage. #Iditarod53 youtu.be/tAdEtFxe84w?...

15 Kaltag to Unalakleet, 81 miles One of the hardest, but also most gorgeous runs. The trail climbs over the Kaltag mountains following the Kaltag river and later the Unalakleet river all the way to the coast. Google ratings: Unalakleet river: 2.0 Piece on Earth Pizza: 4.6 #MusherSky #UglyDogs

Welcome foster dog Jethro! This 8 month old boxer GSD mix is looking for his forever home. If you’re between Seattle and Portland this sweet boy is only a short drive away!

#uglydogs This is from when Glory moved away to become a west coast porch husky & Hari said his farewell. I think it works for other kinds of parting as well. It also reminds us that our hearts remain connected to those we love, even when they are far away. Awooooooo!

Saphira is temporarily a house dog while her face heals up. Her momma Yona is showing her all the house dog perks.

Did not think I would be crying happy tears at 5:30 in the morning about a 12-year-old sled dog but here we are #UglyDogs

This meme-making will make me late for work but what else can I do when the muse strikes? #UglyDogs #MusherSky #Iditarod

Q is into Eagle Island. #Iditarod53

Hi All, Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you find them useful. I know I do! I lose all sense, particularly on the loop, of who hasn't rested, who has dropped dogs. #UglyDogs #MusherSky

This is KI-DOG, with a traffic advisory: Heavy traffic expected in all lanes on the I676, between Kaltag and Shageluk. Please check your lights, keep to the right, do not pass, expect sudden dog teams and mush safely. Porcupine probability still low. Moose potential: possible. #UglyDogs #MusherSky

Calvin is preparing to start out of Kaltag. The barking of the team woke up a dog we kinda know. #UglyDogs 'MusherSky

I provide tech support for @igivearod.bsky.social, which raises money for Alaskan rural schools and nonprofits during the Iditarod. So far this year over $21,000 has been raised! Donating is easy, and DonorsChoose makes funding specific projects super simple! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Look at that beautiful sunrise over the Yukon #iditarod53

Jessie enjoying his moment - I haven't seen him rocking braids before - good race hairstyle! #MusherSky youtu.be/KsL6M2YALxc?...

Friends, if you don't know the story behind my #igivearod posts, it's pretty great 💚 Basically we all got worried about a musher in a snowstorm and needed to *do* something - so what we did became an annual tradition. And anyone can join in. 💚

40 years ago this month the first woman won the #Iditarod. 35 years ago was the last time a woman won the Iditarod. #WeAreOverDue
