So y’all might have to learn some new dog names soon… 👀

17 miles today. At the turnaround they expressed little interest in waiting. #MusherTwitter
Look at the tight tugs on those wheel dogs. 😂 Those are what we call “snap holders.” I don’t mind; they are still getting exercise. #MusherTwitter
Sled dogs are known for many fine attributes. Patience is not one of them. #MusherTwitter
Our annual #Christmas #sleddog run around the block with Michele Forto on the sled

Never going to get over the cuteness of a dog in a sled bag. This one belongs to Jessie Holmes, Nola, I think. On Insider he says she’s got a sore shoulder & he’s bummed to leave her because she was his finishing leader last year. #Iditarod2023 #MusherTwitter
Whee! Part of our trail system is on the Palouse to Cascades Trail which is an old railroad grade. There are several tunnels on it, one which we go over. It’s a blast as long as the dogs don’t decide to take you over the edge. #MusherTwitter
Junior Iditarod race start!
The dogs were good.
The mushers were excited.
It all went off without a (visible) hitch!
21 mushers are out on the trails now, and will be passing me tomorrow as they return to the finish while we depart from the same spot for ITI.
