So, Blue just tried to eat a stinging nettle. I don’t think he’ll be trying that again.

PICTURE THIS 👇

It's a crisp morning, early sun rays filtering through the sparse leaves in the trees 🍂🍁 The chilly breeze fills your nostrils with the scent of autumn as you start to hook up your team. They're eager to go. Wagging tails and excited barks. You can feel it too - the adrenaline in the air. The rush of the adventure that lies ahead.

After all, this is what you live for.

It's in these moments, the ones filled with anticipation, that we realize our dogs rely on us as much as we rely on them as mushers. We want to ensure their happiness, health, and peak performance simply because we love and care for them ❤️

A big part of that - of being a responsible musher - is learning how to keep your dogs safe. To understand the risks of our sport, and make sure we do everything in our power to avoid them. This is exactly why experienced mushers spend so much time observing our dogs. As well as thermometers and hygrometers 🌡☁️

You see, temperatures and humidity aren’t just numbers for us. They are, in fact, the silent influencers of our dogs' safety.

Understanding the relation between the two can be the whole difference between an adventure where everyone stays safe and healthy, and an adventure that ends in tragedy.

This is why we're here to share our knowledge. Not only as seasoned mushers, but as fellow dog lovers, humbly learning from our own experiences. We pass our lessons on, so that YOU won't have to learn them the hard way.

Do you wanna be a responsible musher?

Then join us on our webinar on Friday the 27th of October, @ 19.00 CET.

Together, we'll delve into the science behind the changing seasons, revealing how they affect our dogs. We'll provide practical tips that ensure their safety, comfort, and top-notch performance.

Don't miss out! 🩵

I hope I’m able to give Blue the life I gave Tag, Ruby and Velvet. I know for sure that I’ll never stop trying.

Blue is getting used to the local area. He’s incredibly inquisitive.

Blues takes me out for a birthday drink and immediately ditches me for someone else’s lap. 😂😂.

As we venture into a New Year I wonder what it will bring us. The north still calls strongly, and we will return to find a home. Whether we get chance to live there as a three, only time will tell.

All tuckered out in his big day. One hour with his new home and he’s relaxed enough to snuggle up and have a kip.

A little visit to the pond to say ‘Hi’ to the swans.

Somewhere different for our morning beverage whilst we catch up with our Canadian pal. Thought we may have spotted some pals on the cafe wall, (, .whitelamb).

How could Velvet NOT love visiting the vets when she gets such lovely treatment. Treats, hugs, permission to wander where she likes…….

I recently had to go away for a few days. Whilst I was away there was a carnival. Part of the carnivals procession were the local firefighters, one of which was my friend who took time out to stop and give her a hug. took this picture. This picture mean so much to me as it shows the love people have, not just for Velvet, but for all animals. Steve stopped to hug Velvet. He needn’t have but he did.

Meeting up with our visiting Nova Scotian friend over dinner!

I’m away for a few days without my Velvet. I knew it would be bad but the separation from her is much worse than I’d expected. It’s like having an arm removed.

Dogs of Damo shared a post on Instagram: "Today would have been Tags 15th birthday. Not a day goes by without me remembering his wonderful soul. ...

Velvet is celebrating an amazing birthday this weekend. Join us for bacon and a walk on Saturday morning!

Wow. What an amazing story.

We must also be aware NOT to push our fears onto our dogs. They aren’t born ‘afraid of big dogs’, or ‘scared of motorcycles’. How we react around our dogs can negatively influence their behaviour.

Velvet with her pal Roman. There’s ten years between them but little Roman absolutely loves Velvet and gets so excited to see her.

She was my ‘furry wife’. We taught each other so much and was pivotal in helping me with all my others. I still miss her everyday and wish she was still here to have experienced all we have since she left. She would have been 18 today. I love Paige, and always will. X

Yesterday we had the company of this lovely fella. He was so excited all day that it took almost seven hours to drain his energy enough for a nap, half hour before his Mum came for him 😂😂
