I'm hopefully going to get out more next year, and fur Rondy in 2028 sounds like a plan!

Do you have or can you get a Care Credit card? My vet takes that, and usually, I can choose a time period in which a purchase can be payed off before incurring any interest charge (up to 18 months, I think). It's been really helpful to front the money that I know will mostly by covered by insurance

What a GREAT shot!

Sabin agrees! #UglyDogs

Alice, I'm very sorry tell you this, but I don't think anyone likes puppies.....

Tim is a man who has Down's syndrome, his talent is figure skating. We featured his story a few years ago, and he is still skating at 40 years old. ❄️

Tim is a dual British-Canadian citizen, living 7 months of the year in Canada and 5 in the UK.

We hope you all enjoy watching Tim's performance.⛸️

Two dogs stand on the back porch of a house with 8" snow drifts on the porch stairs

Snow drifts! (Gunner and Sabin for scale)

Gunner and Sabin are watching out for you to celebrate with!

Sucks a bit for Jaye, but I'm glad the dogs were all happy and healthy! I hope she feels better soon

Mine is on the same detour! Now expected Monday. 🙃

A multicolored husky named Pepé squints and bleps at the camera while standing in powder snow

Gorgeous!!

Checkpoint practice pictures always make me think of Grinch having to be put in timeout because he kept barking "Come on, let's go!" too much and riling up the other dogs.

A Happy Birthday gift to myself! Thanks, Bler and Q! 🤩

Hi, I'm pissed off yellowjacket. 🐝

Even Sabin, who has been much less enamored with the outdoors of late ("Why are we still outside not doing anything when I could be on the couch not doing anything?") has been lingering in the blizzard. I think he feels the trails calling.

WOOT WOOT! *prepares to stare at tracky bois*

Awoooooooo!

SLED BLOBS SLED BLOBS SLED BLOBS

A children's book with an illustration of a sled dog team and musher on the cover and the title "The Race Across Alaska"

A friend of the family found this in the Little Free Library by her house and grabbed it for me. #Iditarod #UglyDogs

I’m mostly asleep but the sweetest and wildest thought just came to me.

When this community, one day, dies out (it will, they all do), I hope our gravestone says “Awooooo means love”

#UglyDogs

Oh goodness, Mac. Much love and heartfelt good wishes for Lumi ❤️

A little clip from a recent keynote I gave, featuring Refried 🎶

These are awesome!!

Happy Doe Doe day! ❤️❤️❤️

Since those early days on Twitter, the #UglyDogs have broadened into an online fan community that supports all sled dogs and many mushers who love and treat them well. We also just love seeing everybody's pets leading happy lives, and work to support each other as well.
