"Mushing is a practical discipline—can’t learn about it from a book, as Stanley told me more than once—so there was nothing for it but to do." @brdemuth @nybooks

Where the Dogs Run

The best days to work a salmon net are dry and bright. Bankside willows tilt from summer green to autumn gold. Light wind, no longer warm, riffles the

Boyohboy I forget how many moving parts there are on the ol’ website every time I try to “really quick” throw a new product up there. 😅

My goodness, this summer has FLOWN by for me! But I did not forget the fourth dog for stickers & magnets... Here they all are, the whole (very small) team! And I can't add a fifth photo to show you the new sled design that will come with sticker/magnet sets, but it's very fancy. 😉

I’m working on putting listings up on the website next… you’ll be able to order single dog magnets & stickers, or buy the full set (with the sled added for free).

Today on TikTok I saw a woman posting her delirious happiness that she'd persuaded her Bernese Mountain Dog to tow a little plastic toddler wagon with her three kids in it on their walks. She was like "I'm a freakin' genius" and her happiness was genuinely contagious, but it honestly felt as if she didn't know she's not actually the person who invented #dog mushing or dog carts. #SledDog #DogMushing
True story: I couldn’t care less about the Super Bowl. Back in the 1990s when I ran dogs, this was my favorite day of the winter because the sled trails would be almost empty (usually many teams out on Sundays). One #SuperBowl Sunday I out for a long run and was stopped on the trail. Another team came along and stopped. It was a well known European musher training in Interior #Alaska and he said something to the effect of “I though the Super Bowl was a religion for you Americans” 🤣 #DogMushing

Also, as someone who will often have their dog off leash while I’m skiing on the lake It was news to me that one of the largest dangers to a dog team are off leash dogs. Never too late to learn something new and try to be a good neighbor. #alaska #Trails #dogmushing
