Good job, Annie!! 😍
Zeke has a cot on the patio at my mom’s house, which we’ve been calling his “hammock.” He’s obsessed.

#UglyDogs Zeke & I have a routine, almost daily: I get ready for work, he gets a walk, then breakfast.
Every day, this beautiful fool runs past where I’m holding his leash, right to his bowl.
He returns from the kitchen looking confused every time. True “Grinch forgot how to go South” energy. 😂

Had to rep the queen at a Delaware Pride event yesterday. I always hope I might meet some local #uglydogs when I have this shirt on. That’s not what happened, but something funny did … (1/3)

@blairbraverman.bsky.social Zeke is like Flame in so many ways: he wants to be everywhere I am, and definitely wishes I’d let him sniff more dead things.
However, he’s not sold on fashion!

I could juuuust barely Velcro it, but now that it’s on, I can slide my hand underneath the seams.

Whip interpreted the role of lead dog a little differently. He was, of course, deeply invested in the forward momentum of it all—but he kept an eye on everyone getting lined up behind us, too.
Here he is watching the team at the ceremonial:

We were getting Quince’s Iditarod team hooked up on restart morning. I’d been asked to watch the leaders.
Disclaimer - if you came to this thread for dog pics, I only have a few (all from the ceremonial and not the restart).
But have a silly pic of me and Pepé:

Hanging out with sled dogs was an utter dream (more later, surely!) but I’m glad to be back with this sleepy house hippo, too.

DMs should include mailing address, size needs, and specific color or phrase requests if you’ve got ‘em. I can do basically any phrase and will try to honor color requests as best I can. ☺️👍🏻

What *can’t* Timmy do?!
I could’ve made this thread so long thanking people who’ve helped me out, but was afraid to forget anybody. Since dogs don’t have thumbs and can’t read, I can single Timmy out to give him props. 😂🫎
