Lynn Animal Hospital in Hyattsville. It's been a couple of years but they were much more reasonable than others. No fancy office overhead!

Joined the Patreon in honor of the ridiculous poodle my parents had during my college years, named Celebrity. She sat in my chair at the dinner table when I wasn't home (and sometimes when I was). I loved her.

Go dogs go! I choose Foucher, because the personality sounded most like a friend I lost this year.

I found a little more to send Raven's way... let's get this one over the top!

Kate @k8c.bsky.social · May 6

Oh hey #uglydogs I have a tiny windfall. And what better way to use it than to help a friend? So. I will donate $25.00 per $20.00 donation up to 20 donations.

We have a lot of #uglydogs out there. If most could kick in just $5 or $10 (or more, if you can), we could make a dent in this GFM. Raven is a long-time UD, and we have a chance to lift her up. Let's go!!!!

I haven't gotten anything, but did get one of the "sorry/swamped" responses. What also makes me grrrrrr is that although Bravermountain put much of it on there at cost, I still purchased some extras to throw them a little something - and if they aren't paying out on merch, then B&Q are losing out!

She's a mild Salsa. We had fun when she had a friend named Mango, so we could yell "MANGO SALSA" at them.

It's like Pepe was trying to tell you all along. She knew she was going to Nome and she knew that this was what Q needed. Little did she know how many others turned out to need this also. 😭

"when certain conditions are met" is the problem. There are no *certain* conditions. It's uncertain conditions. That is one of the larger problems many of us tried to highlight in our comments. They take zero responsibility here for any decisions, and, in fact they act as if they had no choice.

Look at this old thing about some school in Nikolai that wanted to take a field trip.

An online receipt showing a March 8 2019 donation to a school in Nikolai Alaska. This is the first project ever from what became the IGiveARod.

I think it is too soon for this now, but I hope we see some of the mushers who were at the front of the pack commenting on the treatment of their race-mates at the back.

Let's go!

KD @kdluvsdogs.bsky.social · Mar 14

#UglyDogs I just sent out this signal boost request. Sometimes Mr. Newmark shares teachers' Donors Choose requests with his followers and I am hopeful that he will do the same. If you come across my post in the feed, feel free to repost and maybe it will catch his eye! ;-)

Deb Robison @deblrobison.bsky.social · Mar 13

@craignewmark.bsky.social can you signal boost this project to raise money for Alaskan School teachers? the #UglyDogs work with rural Alaskan school teachers during the Iditarod every year to raise funds and we have 6 Donors Choose projects left to go. Thank You! www.donorschoose.org/igivearod25?...

That is truly the spirit in which the race was founded - save the dogs because of the joy in what they do. And give them allllll the chicken skins.

I just had a moment to consider what it would be like if I named a litter of sled blobs after house chores. I could yell, “Laundry! Stop making a mess!” and “Vacuum! What are you eating now?!” #UglyDogs

Sled Dog of the Day @sleddogoftheday.bsky.social · Mar 12

The very first Sled Dog of the Day here on Bluesky is... Pepé! At nearly 12 years old, she continues to lead her team and came out of retirement to help musher Quince Mountain on this year's Iditarod journey. She made it to Nome with Blair in 2019!
Go Pepé & Quince!

#UglyDogs Wherever Q's race ends, he's going to tell those dogs that they won, and they will all know it is true. 🐾

He was uncertain of the trail, so he went back to check. Pepe in single lead. 💕. I should say, I trust them both!
