I blame/thank @blairbraverman.bsky.social and the #UglyDogs for getting to include these details about dogsledding in my historical romance novel. πŸ•πŸ•πŸ•πŸ•πŸ•πŸ›·

FOLKTALES is a gorgeous, tender, magical film by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady about young adults learning about life at a Norwegian folk school--with the help of sled dogs. It's making its NYC premiere on May 4, and I'll be there moderating a discussion afterward. Hope to see some of you! ❀️

Thank you to all of you, mostly #uglydogs for helping us reach our goal of 440 followers! We passed that last night. 442 when I checked this morning!

Hi friends! I’m hearing that Q was at the back end of the @kobuk440.bsky.social race when it was suspended due to weather. He and the team are being evacuated from the checkpoint. Everyone is safe and doing well! #uglydogs

Trackybois gone wild! A lot of doubles and mushers in two places at once!

Our post nap Ambler update: Quince is back on the trail! Kristy, Lauro, and Adam are back for their second pass. Jessie just left to head down river. Kevin is getting booties on his dogs.

Ohhhhhhh.... #uglydogs Muppy's human did a thing.

That would explain a lot tbh

Y’all your guesses are as good as mine πŸ˜©πŸ˜‚

Good possibility (weather dependent) that there could be a good show in the sky for the mushers out tonight! #UglyDogs

Jessie and Kevin are taking some much deserved rest in Ambler.

As the mushers reach each checkpoint, they draw a name and that child wins an Easter Basket!

Am I doing this right?! #UglyDogs

I can only assume that the Kiana school is full of mushers resting before their next big leg! Most checkpoints on the race this year host mushers, trail crew, and volunteers in the school, which often means sleeping on classroom or library floors!

Our friend Alice could use some help right now. If you haven't signed up for her Patreon, I highly recommend it and if you can spare a little extra for her paypal (in the thread) that would be awesome too!

Also she would only agree to ride in the bag if she was sitting on his mitten. Which he needed.

Sounds like Q had an interesting trip to Noorvik, but he made it after what looks like about a 30 minute stop, he's headed out to Kiana, another 23 miles down the trail! He's got good speed so the pups must be happy and the trail must be good! #mushersky 1/
