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”

I know everyone is struggling but I need help. Due to my loss of income, dad & I are at risk of losing the house from debt. Any help/reskeet you can give me to hold onto this house until we're better situated to sell it vs losing it would be greatly appreciated.

Sabin would like to report the heinous crime of being bathed at the pet store.

But also, he would like to know if you like his new bowtie? #UglyDogs

Good morning friends! Today is Word Down Syndrome Day. People with Down Syndrome live happy and fulfilling lives when given the chance. Rock your favorite mismatched socks today like me, and show your commitment to including people with Down Syndrome. #LotsOfSocks #WorldDownSyndromeDay

I’m CRYING watching Matt Hall’s video from the finish. He is getting ready to leave the finish area , and main lead dog Dyea had a little business to attend to much to fellow lead Quivit’s dismay. 😂#WhenYaGottaGo #MusherSky #UglyDogs #Iditarod

Hi, friends! I'd like to encourage everyone to try and make viewing posts on our corner of Bluesky as inclusive as possible. Some people use screen readers, so adding "alt text" descriptions of pictures and videos you share makes them more accessible. Example on the pic below. #UglyDogs

An idea inspired by @antigrinch.bsky.social, let's have a fun Braverdogs thread this morning. Share your favorite pics of @blairbraverman.bsky.social and @quincemountain.bsky.social's frens, past and present. I'll start because this photo of Hari always makes me smile. #UglyDogs
Hari, a brown and black blind sled barks at the camera while another sled dog zoomies in the background. "Bler, Dora is CHAOS!" he seems to be saying.

Y’all I’m really sad.

I’m also grateful that this adventure meant we got to spend some real time with Q, getting to know what a compassionate, interesting person he is. Also I met Pepe so 💁🏻‍♂️ That’s pretty cool.

Q I’m incredibly proud of your journey bud. And ATAO hotel is open for ya any time.

So proud and heartbroken for these teams (mushers and dogs) I will probably never meet, but love with all my heart.

Good run, Pepé. You run the world.
