Gave drawing on the iPad a try tonight! I’m notoriously the worst artist on the planet, but used a software that walks you through step by step how to draw each sketch. Does anyone know of a similar app that’s 100% free before I pay for this other app?
Boo is baaaaack!! And if you missed it, we just posted a new patreon this morning with several mini stories and lots of photos from the last couple weeks! Check it out: www.patreon.com/TheUrbanMush...
March Madness is officially here! Best of luck to everyone’s brackets. How long will it take to get our first “Well, my bracket is busted!” post this year?
Hello friends! Due to multiple reasons, we've moved our Urban Mushers newsletter from Beehiiv to Patreon. It won't let us move our list of supporters over though, so if you are interested in hearing our stories/keeping up with the dogs, you can join our Patreon page here: patreon.com/TheUrbanMush...

I just posted a write-up about our first couple days up north at the Hiawatha Heritage Dog Sled Race last weekend! It's more or less a day in the life of what handling for @quincemountain.bsky.social 's dog team during a race weekend entails! Check it out: www.theurbanmushers.com/p/hiawatha-d...

Is there anything cuter than baby Alaskans playing together?
So Elmo is might be the sweetest dog ever. I started scratching his chin and he LOVED it. So much so that he sat back on his hind legs and let me continue scratching like this for more than a minute 🥹 He always has the sweetest look on his face too. #uglydogs
When at a sled dog race and the team doesn’t run for several hours still, you find the most comfortable spot to relax! Cold but actually really comfortable. #uglydogs

Yay snow. NOT. This was actually one of the better spots on my drive home this evening.
Santa asked @rileyharden.bsky.social what he wanted for Christmas and he turned to me and said “all I want for Christmas is you!” We got engaged on Saturday! Santa pulled the ring out of his sleeve. Excited to see where life takes us, together! 💜 Love you, Riley!
Perfect day to read Harry Potter with a view of the snow falling outside!
In the past couple months, Pence has really turned into such a cuddle bug! She now spends every night on the couch next to me, instead of being on her own in the other room. She’s really leaning into the “pet” life! #uglydogs
These two just got their first scooter run in this season! No photos or videos of the actual run, but they did great! A quick little distracted sniff at the beginning that lead to a tangle, but once we got restarted they were pros! Only went 0.75 miles but their top speed was 19.11mph!
Love when there’s a hint of pink in the sunrise! Makes the Monday morning drive a little better 🌅
Started @95hannahlouise.bsky.social’s big 30th birthday with breakfast in bed. Now ending it with a nice steak dinner, baked potato and corn. Can anyone spot the common theme here? She just wanted to give Hannah all the birthday love too! Happy birthday, Hannah! Pence and I love you 💜😘

Pence is finally calmed down and resting after storms all day. She’s found a new home on a different couch today where she hangs out in the living room with us now! #uglydogs
#Bluesky is really trying to drive video on here. They now have a trending videos section that pops up in your feeds. Idk about you, but I don’t come to Bluesky for short form video 🤔
The #igivearod2025 totals are in! This drive in honor of Quince Mountain's #Iditarod run brought in a record $138,646, breaking the previous 2019 record of $127,500. This brings the sum total of all #igivearod drives to an amazing $525,720 to support Alaska school projects and organizations.
The post-cruise sickness finally caught me. Ugh. Best cold/flu remedies? Ready, go!
One day I want to be welcomed home by dolphins!
