Watkins June 19, 2023 - September 27, 2026 Watkins was always defiantly full of life. As a baby puppy neonate, he showed his first signs of snottiness at merely 2 weeks old, though at the time I didn't know what it was.

Hi everyone, I am extremely embarrassed to have to ask for help again, however I have two flat tires on my car and no idea if the tires are all I will owe or if there was some other car issue that made them more susceptible to going flat 😭 I will likely need to pay the repair people tomorrow (1/?)

Weather is finally cooling down enough that we can run at work during breaks. Slowly finding more and more trails, and convincing co-workers to add a few more. My goal is to have a 1.5 mile trail and a 2.5 mile trail, and maybe a hill section loop. #Bikejoring #Dachshund #BorderCollie #MixedBreed

Last week the chicken nuggets went to summer camp at MI DOG!!! They've been getting lots of cuddles, exploring, and becoming more confident by the day. (PS - if you visit Newberry MI, you can cuddle them yourself!)

My sweet Jasnah is still missing. She got out last night with Starlight (it's ALWAYS Starlight) and two other pups. I was at a neighbors for a couple hours. When I got home Starlight and the other pups were all nearby but Jasnah was nowhere to be seen.

SHT Day 1 - 12 Miles Beavers and mud and hornets, oh my! Made it to camp in one piece. Stepped in a knee deep mud puddle 10 minutes in. Marci has a small harness rub (she’ll be okay). Avoided large hornets nest. Getting the bad juju out now I guess. #sht #superiorhikingtrail #backpackingi

We’re going hiking! Marci and TJ will be hiking the Superior Hiking Trail over the next month in honor of Marci’s son, Jake. We’ll try to post updates as we go, but may have our phone off and/or a lack of cell service. Wish us luck, and we’ll see you when we get back!

The puppies moved outside for real on Wednesday. They've been doing great!!!! They have so much more room to roam around and practice walking. I've especially been enjoying watching them learn how to climb over logs and maneuver the puppy ramp.

Sheep Creek Lodge is such an important part of their community. They're huge supporters of mushing, hosting checkpoints for several races. They could really use our help now. #MusherSky #Alaska #UglyDogs

This is the mom to Lanayru and Ordona, from TJ's and my litter Compass x Marci 2024. We got the whole family ECGs a few weeks ago. It's a tough situation as we navigate it together, but TJ definitely got the short end of the stick here with two dogs that have DCM. Please give her all your love ❤️

After 18 hours of stage 2 labor and a trip to the e-vet for oxytocin and monitoring, Loaf had 8 beautiful puppies yesterday. She is doing an excellent job as a first time mom and all babies have gained weight on their day-old weigh in.

She made such wonderful babies ❤ the other day Foucher scent rolled on my head and it totally reminded me of Panther. All 4 of the pups here love a good scent roll in the grass during playtime.

I also made a GFM for Tasha, I feel awful I can't help more because I've also been caught in back to back dog emergencies and still doing overtime anywhere I can to finish paying off the last emergency with Rumple. If anyone is inclined to share for her, I'd appreciate it 🫂 gofund.me/a989bb24a

Please send all your love TJ's way. 💔 Jake was very special. He was like Compass but with more personality. And TJ was so close with him. He fit her like a missing puzzle piece. And I am so sad he had to go so young. No one should have to endure a young, healthy dog passing. Send all your support.
