Bler shared her team with us and we, as individuals, found ourselves mirrored in those amazingly driven, and amazingly goofy, pups.

And from their example we learned about pulling together.

About the importance of supporting your packmates.

About facing new adventures even in adversity.

And that being a bit silly was a balm for the soul when the world seems stormy and the ground is sharp.

So when we see someone in need, or a packmate is feeling down, the world is just being shitty...

We sing too.

And can’t help but wonder, will we reach 440 followers on bluesky during this years race? That would be fun!

Seeking greater efficiency or maybe stronger communication, Pepé finally went *over* Whip instead of under or around, and parkour-kicked off of his butt for leverage.

… and Whip knew which side of the line he’d been assigned after that. 😂

It's like Pepe was trying to tell you all along. She knew she was going to Nome and she knew that this was what Q needed. Little did she know how many others turned out to need this also. 😭

They made it to the start line. They made it through the finish line. With dignity, humility, grace and integrity. What an inspirational team of friends who travelled a trail and overcame - together. In their own way. Legends made. The story will be retold. The Spirit of the North is alive.

Your eyes are correct! It definitely was not the plan, but it ended up working perfectly ❤️

Wickson sent QYOO and PEPÉ a mushergram wishing them well and telling the latter to make sure she brought the former home.
