So a very very nice friend was at a book festival in Baltimore, and bought a book for me! (she's known me for 40 years so she knows my obsessions) πŸ™‚

I can't believe I've never read about Debbie Clarke Moderow. #mushers #uglydogs

Iditarod 54 rookie class Reitter's Block focuses on the sport of dog mushing, centered mainly in Alaska.

It's an interesting batch of rookies this year full of personality and stories! Wishing each one safe trails and may they all make it to Nome and snag a Finisher's buckle. #Iditarod54 #DogSports #Alaska #SledDogs

Nicholas and Josie, our adorable senior mini-donkeys! πŸ’• Like many senior equines they can no longer chew and digest regular hay properly, so what you see them eating here is a special diet of finely chopped timothy hay cubes and beet pulp that are soaked into a mash.
