I also really appreciated this book! Happy to find another reader :)

I don't fully understand, but I'd like one! I'll subscribe

Not to downer-post, but we have a LOT of #UglyDogs who are going through it right now, from chemo (way more than have been vocal about it) to mental health struggles. These times are hazardous to our mental health and taking action is needed. But in addition to calls to action, 1/2

The Surprisingly Tender Art of Rat Taxidermy I joined a taxidermy class and discovered a craft that’s far more thoughtful than I expected

For this month’s @outsidemag.bsky.social column, I took a rat taxidermy class, and it was… surprisingly sweet? As the teacher said, “We’re reclaiming what’s beautiful and interesting about the things we’ve been told are bad or gross.”

I love my rat. His name is Meatball.

Phew!!!

Uhhhmmm when did she get so big and unpuppy-like??

#UglyDogs does anyone have experience with at home cold laser therapy for their dogs (or cats or humans)? Looking for a recommendation for a laser to help Charlie with his arthritis

I Spent a Night Hunting for Ghosts. What I Found Was Deeply Human. I tagged along on a ghost hunt to explore why we keep looking for something beyond ourselves

This month's experiment for @outsidemag.bsky.social: I spent a night with a team of professional ghost hunters in a condemned rectory. Happy almost-halloween! www.outsideonline.com/culture/essa...

Alaska Rural Vet Outreach asking for donations for dog food due to flooding

I know it's a tough time for many, we give when we can.

Can Amazon food to them

Or donate through link and comment for dog food

Don't worry, that's what my partner believes. Charlie is ridiculously spoiled!

I'm just more aware of the times he's had to go on a diet...

Ha! I came here to say this as well.

Mac! What kind of monster do you think I am?! 🤔 🤣

(I'm the kind that breaks the treat in half - 2 treats is always better than one)

Found my current dog through a Facebook post from a local rescue - this is one of the first photos I took of him (after his first bath)

Is he drinking a lot of water? Does he drink at night? I spent 6 months collecting urine samples from my old dog... trying to catch that first morning pee. My trick was to wait until they are fully into the big pee (not marking) and reach under - just with my hand and a yogurt container. Good luck!

Absolutely not. But maybe I would be if I started the week with a trail run?

#FatBearWeek Welcome to Day 1! Here's who's in today's matches:

And you can double up on -40 days, which is super helpful!

Musher booties (sled dog booties), one group of 5 in neon green with red and white velcro at the top and one set of black with red and white velcro

I use musher booties - there are two thicknesses nylon (what's pictured below) and fleece. Both have a velcro attachment. They are great for winter and inexpensive.

Glad you're OK! What do you need help with?

First things first- Are you injured?

FAT BEAR WEEK aka the perfect crossover - Wildlife viewing, northern life, and ecology #UglyDogs

Get ready!

Nightmare potential - the name of my current life state. Err... I mean cover band 😅

Oh Snotty. She soaked up so much love in such a short time. I hope you find a way to honour her today, and the chaos she brought (and you've continued to welcome!) Happy birthday, Becca and Snotty 🌈

Maybe you need to give an extra treat to your current chaos makers in her honour ;)

Interesting! I've never seen one that looks like that. I hope for your sake that it's something much more manageable and just randomly in your house!

Zoomies!!

My northern roots are showing... what is it?
