DARKWOOD SLED DOGS @darkwood-sleddog - Tumblr Blog

Quick reminder that my inbox is always open for questions asked in good faith. Curiosity is not shameful and no questions asked with such are stupid, unwanted, or a waste of my time. I just ask to be treated respectfully.

Thanks!

#dogblr #faq #so many people so confused about dog sledding in some recent popular posts #but folks would rather ask questions in the replies than come to my inbox with curiosity and desire to learn #anyways my blog is about dog sledding and I am happy to answer questions ffs #pinning this post for greater visibility over time #but also like some of you just blindly reblog #when 1.) I exist as a blog and as an OP so just ask!#also keep in mind I get a lot of messages and some with greater asks #and nuance take me #more time to reply to

What you think being a town clerk is like: running elections, archiving land records, dog licensing, etc.

(And it is that)

What being a town clerk ALSO is: being asked via phone call if somebody’s wife can walk nude on the town trails by the elementary school….

#not dogs #like don’t ask ME???#town clerk stuff #truly living in a wild reality #also I worked the state primary yesterday and boy howdy #do some people have zero understanding of how primary’s work #sorry for being quiet on here I was in NYC all weekend for MCR Citifield #so was posting on main and not here lol #ask me how hot it was (my friends shoes melted walking to early merch)

Vermont August rain to soothe your nervous systems

#Vermont #video #not dogs #ft the new little roof we had built over our heat pump fan #bc snow fell right off the roof onto it for almost 10 years causing it to pull away from the siding

what is it with owning even recreational sled dogs that people you know give your name out as a potential home for random northern breeds bc 1.) no. and 2.) stop.

#dogblr #will i try and connect them to the right people? absolutely #but i'm not bringing random dogs into this house of chaos #it's really pervasive in mushing #like i gotta prioritize my existing dogs (that live in my house and ride in my car bc i don't have transport for more than 3 dogs)

Pretty new shelf Mr. D made for us out of my parents old cedar deck boards and some spare paint!

rural people who can't see their neighbors and whose neighbors can't see them that one would assume are under no 'keeping up with the joneses' type of situation's dedication to mowing their "lawn" every TWO days needs to be studied.

#not dogs #new neighbor has the oldest most terrible riding lawn mower for their small grass patch and mows every two days for us all to hear #and it seems to take him FOREVER #like he's out there for ages/hours??#like my dude your yard is in a wetland swamp this is not worth it #i know nobody else around here that mows this frequently #like isn't gas expensive enough in our american hellhole we call home? why are we mowing like this bud.#(highly recommend the chargable electric mowers both push and riding they are SO quiet)#every. TWO. days. completely unnecessary

Whew just spent the last three hours gardening without my phone. Blissful.

#not dogs #garden stuff #guess who spent 200+ dollars at the garden center….. 😬😬😬

My fellow big dog owning people you know I am experiencing THE most painful cuddle of my life rn

#dogblr #not when they on you with the human sized elbows 😫

Officials say that 12-16 pups have survived their first few months.

The critically endangered red wolf population in North Carolina welcomed four new litters this year. Researchers estimate that 12-16 pups have survived their first few months, which is a very big deal for a species with only 22 adults remaining in the wild.

Budget for additional wildlife crossings in the wolf's habitat offers additional hope for the species, since road strikes are currently one of their greatest threats.

Thanks to @calliopechild for submitting this story!

i walk really quietly in the house and a little too often surprise mr. d so i got these new crocs that have fun little dangling star jibbitz and they make noise when i walk so depending on how you view things this is fortunately/unfortunately like putting a bell on an outdoor cat and i will only become more powerful and quiet in the future.

#not dogs #i hate to say it bc usually crocs are my picking up dog poop shoes #but they are some of the few shoes i own (including ones with custom insoles) that don't make my feel hurt like hell #they do have some cute ones now tho

there is nothing more soothing than my nightly veggie harvest. truly grounding.

#not dogs #garden stuff #posts that let you know i'm in my mid-thirties lmao #but seriously that and foraging the wild edibles on the property (the raspberries rn!) like its everything #we are just made to forage imo #but like the smell of veggies and herbs on my hands after i come in #of basil and tomato and peas and dill

POV: you’re just trying to finish your orange juice

#dogblr #alaskan malamute #dog #canine #slash #dog video #sound on for the new horrible noise he has been demanding stuff with this week

on the primitive domestic dog spectrum of

"i only do things i wanna do. always." <---> "ew human is looking at me"

somehow slash is both

#dogblr #he has zombie's huffs of annoyance towards us #and sigurds im living in your skin stage 5 clinger behavior #except sigurd reaches a limit with that and goes off to be alone and slash does not #and he vocally lets you know he's annoyed.#so many withering stares and so many sighs like a victorian maiden

She love

#dogblr #alaskan malamute #dog #canine #zombie #dog photography #she’s feeling a lot better now that she’s had a week of antibiotics

when i'm playing bitey face w/hands games w/ slash and he's having a grand old time but getting a little amped up and zombie gets off the chaise to come lay down next to me and slash immediately lays down and de escalates himself.

#dogblr #she said 'son we are not doing this TO DAY'#he did nip me on the back of the thigh but like whatever #(not really her son obvious her cousin nephew)
