I’ll be prepping Sledvelopes on Monday of next week, so be sure to snag one before then!

Welp! First time entering 8-dog. To be honest, I'm using this race as a chance to get a much-needed mileage bump ahead of mail-run the following weekend. I will likely only have 7 in harness and temps are looking warmer than they've been, so I'm expecting a slow-ish run, which is a-okay.

-20°F with -32° windchill, about ten degrees colder at home than originally forecast. Yea, cuddle day two. (Except I made plans to go get sushi for lunch. Rethinking life choices…)

I love all my dogs and they all love me… but Atlas certainly loves me the most.

Pics to illustrate the day. Six dogs ran, I think I’ll always do 1-2 solo closest to the sled to help navigate tight turns. They ran pretty good today, even w/out Blitz and Hub.
Hubble should be back our next run. Blitz is getting his red light therapy started, hoping it helps.
And Denali is home.

Pretty okay with my decision to withdraw from the race this weekend. Windchills would be around -31° Saturday morning, too.

Update from the recovery ward:
Hubble seems to be about 95% back to his usual self. I’m hoping to put him back on the team early next week.
Blitz’s limp seems to have gotten worse since his vet trip, so he’s now on full lockdown. Will be trying red light therapy this weekend. 🤞🏻

Trump is going to lose his already decrepit mind.
The people of Minneapolis have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The first time a city's population has ever been nominated.

Hubble looks to be fine, considering he had no limp to check out anymore. He did get a couple staples in a small puncture, so at least it wasn’t a complete waste of time 😆

I withdrew from the Kearney race this weekend, in favor of staying local, nursing our injuries, & avoiding the "feels like" -30ºF temps. It's a bummer, but I want the boys to recover in a warm house. It's also not a Laika-friendly race (spectator heavy start chute), so I'd only have 5 dogs to run.

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

I, unfortunately, couldn’t bring both sore boys in to the vet today, but they moved things around to get Hub in quickly tomorrow.
I think maybe he should’ve been seen first with how he’s been glaring at me, though. 😅🥴

Woke up this morning and Blitz is no longer limping! I still opted to get him seen by our vet. No sign of broken bones or torn ligaments, thank goodness. He’ll get a week off at minimum but he seems to be on the mend!
We have to wait til tomorrow to snag another appt for Hubble, fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Lots of chilling today (somewhat literally as our power went out for a few hours…)
Hubble seems to be almost back to 100%, swelling is down and limp is mostly gone.
Blitz, on the other hand, is still limping/swollen. I’ll be calling our vet first thing tomorrow to get him in. Still comfy on meds.
