A brilliant ‘one stop’ post by the fabulous Toni Reitter…. Many many sled dog races, dates and all their social links. What a piece of work. Thanks so much Toni…now to plan the armchair mushing diary 🤣🤣🤣

Today is International Dog Day and Rufus and Waffles put a list of ways you can celebrate. We're going to try to raise $5300 to honor Kent's 53rd birthday this late summer and fall to help pets and their people (and shelters and rescues) this winter with unexpected vet bills.
alittleextrafund.org
An image for International Dog Day--the background is a clay tennis court. There are two dogs on it, on the right bottom of the image, a beagle (waffles) and a golden retriever (Rufus who is holding a tennis ball) the logo for A Little Extra is in the left hand corner The text of the image (from the top to the bottom) What your dog really wants on International Dog Day tennis balls robust bank account for A Little Extra Walkies (but not if the pavement is hot) For Other dogs to get bathss His own kitten or bunny Vet care for all dogs Those little meatballs Heartworm Preventative A Little Extra, Inc is a 501c3 Non Profit organization dedicated to helping close the gap on paying for health care for companion animals. If you have a little extra you give it, and if you need a little extra you get it. A Little Extra, Inc was started by two friends, Jen Coleslaw and Dr. Kent Smith. They met over 10 years ago when he was a vet at the emergency pet hospital and Jen came in with a pet with an emergency. They became fast friends and in 2022, Kent opened his own beautiful vet hospital--Willow Animal Hospital, with Jen right there with him, helping out, running social media and doing some marketing and being his #1 cheerleader and sounding board. Kent died suddenly in June, 2024 and we are all still reeling from that loss. But we continue to support vet hospitals, and rescues that Kent loved, and will raise money for pets that need A Little Extra. A Little Extra, Inc is a kind of revolving fund that takes in money from fundraising and small donations and sends it back out in the form of medical grants for pets who need a little extra to cover the cost of their healthcare and donations to rescues taking in broken and sick animals. It also helps cover the cost of lifesaving surgeries for strays brought to vets and animal hospitals by good samaritans. Kent would have been 53 on September 16th. Let's raise $5300 in his memory

#UglyDogs we are coordinating a love-bombing for B&Q. If you want to participate, send a card or postcard with your good wishes. A local postcard from your part of the world would be wonderful. Let’s target Rosh Hashana on 9/22 so they arrive the same time to show the community is thriving.❤️

Day 17: Alaskan Husky. Puppy Leap and Flame!
#doggust #doggust2025
A dark grey puppy (Leap) with floppy brown ears, cream paws, tail, snoot, and a white spot on her forehead is reading a light blue book. She has an intrigued look on her face. Behind her is a floppy eared light yellow dog (Flame) in a big blue container. She's leaning her head out sideways to look at the book too.

For my US friends still using Instagram: please update your settings. Telling everybody your location each time you post is generally a pretty bad idea.

Instagram adding a map feature where you can literally find the address someone is at feels bad!

Anyway... here's an article telling you how to turn that off.

For @outsidemag.bsky.social , I've been trying a series of micro-adventures--including, most recently, three minutes in a -200F freezer. It kinda felt like home.

(Thanks, as always, to my @abigailwise.bsky.social!) www.outsideonline.com/health/welln...
A woman wearing a beaver fur helmet and elbow-length beaver fur mitts--which she handmade from beavers that her sled dogs ate--peers out the top of a strange metal freezer-coffin that says CRYOEFFECT CRYOTHERAPY on it. She's grinning. It's unclear, in the photo, whether the freezer is on or not.
