I live, work and thrive alongside sleddogs that are doing the same in Northern Minnesota. When the lakes aren’t frozen, I am most often in a canoe.

Tune in to the #beargrease tomorrow morning at 9am central to witness the start. We will be broadcasting live at https://t.co/JdqAeq4H7f. We will be live several random times along the way until the finish Tuesday evening. It’s going to be a blast! #uglydogs

I trimmed 1,472 claws today while James did maintenance on doghouses. Then we went for a little cruise with some of our good friends. All in a day off! #sleddogsarethehappiestdogs #uglydogs #colbert #mushing #sleddogs #elymn

@witandwitness @Gawron3rd @ChillyDogsTrips Close, that’s Willow.

Part of the Chilly Dogs crew…Most notably Nash, Rascal, and Zipper went down to the Klondike Dog Derby fundraiser.

It was an amazing time with hundreds of people and almost as many dogs. Great conversations and lots of dog snuggles!

@GMTminus7 @Sanner86 Sorry I missed this… That is Bucky. Some might know his sister better. Her name is Pépe.

100-mile day trip in the #bwca. Blake and I paddled and portaged 100 miles in a calendar day, about 4 minutes short of 24 hours. Full story on Facebook. https://t.co/LnJDOAPHsY

Oh, and Boudica is here for any of you #uglydogs

[Jake Hway @HwayJake]

@tonichelleak I was just trying to point out how we don’t have to be as far north to be in a cold region. I took this photo yesterday as we were cruising the Canadian border… didn’t see any polar bears though.

[Jake Hway @HwayJake]

@mac_b5 His name is Nash, he ran lead with Boudica for parts of this journey

[Jake Hway @HwayJake]

Here is some footage from the run the other day. #uglydogs should keep an eye out for #Boudica. Although she is no more special than any others… we know she has a soft spot in many of your hearts. Did you know that we have two of Pépe’s brothers here?

spent a couple more hours with her later that night, so… it’s all good. I think.

[Jake Hway @HwayJake]

@Blair, Pépe and I were sharing the mic and discussing sleddog’s thriving lifestyle in front of tens of thousands this past weekend. Pépe spent part of the winter with us at Chilly Dogs a couple years ago… Pépe and I grew pretty close.

[Jake Hway @HwayJake]

Blair said Pépe just stared at that door longingly for 15 minutes. Then she brought her into the store to find out that I had gone out the back… I do love that dog, and I had no idea she missed me that much. But I spent a couple more
