Popeye and Neo Join Julie Buckles' Team

 Taking these two dreamboats to @julie_buckles today. It's bittersweet--I'll miss them dearly but they're going to an AMAZING loving home

Popeye is a 3yo snugglebug with an enlarged heart, so he can't run long distances. When he's excited he makes a sound like a trilled R

Neo is 7yo and super strong and gentle. He wants to lean on your legs and get pet FOREVER. He loves running but gets tired after 50+ miles

They are best friends and always run beside each other and whenever we stop their tails wag in unison

So this was a tough decision - but the saddest thing in the world is sled dogs who have to stay back and watch the team run w/o them

@julie_buckles has a very small recreational team and they go camping and I adore her and I know Popeye and Neo will be treasured there <3

Also she's an incredible writer and if you like stories of badass female adventurers you have got to read Paddling to Winter, ok?

Tick tock tick tock tick tock [PIC OF SLED TEAM HERE SORRY] tick tock tick tock tick tock [SHORT VIDEO OF SLED TEAM] Ten miles, twenty miles... all was quiet.  The dogs were running great up every hill.  We passed volunteers cheering, children waving. But truth will out. There was a splash, and Badger puked.  But the thing is, Badger pukes pretty much every day.  He shook his face and wagged his tail. And then the truth came out.  IT WAS PYRO. Yes.  Pyro. Pyro ate the fat.  There was no doubt about that.  And the mystery was no more.  THE END. Twitter re...

Clem is a potato

Nov. 2016  Clem, the sentient potato of his litter, is shocked that Twitter finds him handsome and wanted a chance to show off his angles. [PICS GO HERE SORRY I DON'T HAVE THEM] Clem is basically that kid in gym class whose shoelaces keep coming undone so he shuffles around the track three laps behind everyone else. We love that lil tater tot.
