This post was made for alt text. What a shame.
"puttin' on my Ritz" is how I sang it
I really adore cats. I miss having them and sometimes think I should add one to our small home and then...the accuracy
Is there a Nobel Peace Prize for that?
Incredible.
hilarious/wtf π
I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasnβt gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
This is why mens suits were so loose in the 80's-90's. Pockets full of Ritz!

She is just the cutest!!! She really is just a beautiful, sweet looking dog. Heelers, man. Deeply rad dogs.
Lucky both of you!!!
Too busy imprisoning and torturing infants, huh? Too busy shooting US citizens, eh? Maybe hoping they hit the coasts first so you can do nukes?
Psychopath surrounded by nothing but beta cuck soy boys, apparently.
SAD!!!

Insta screenshot from insta account theiditarod Rookie Iditarod musher Jaye Foucher (bib #28) of Wentworth, New Hampshire, scratched at 6:30 a.m. today at the Rainy Pass checkpoint due to personal reasons. Foucher's team remains healthy and doing well. After traveling through an extended wind storm, she made the decision not to continue further along the trail. Foucher had 15 dogs in harness at the time she made the decision, all in good health. We appreciate the determination and sportsmanship Foucher has shown during this year's race and hope to see her return to the Iditarod Trail in the future.
Weβre 1 day and almost 18 hours into the race and we unfortunately have our first scratch. Rookie musher Jaye Foucher originally from New Hampshire has scratched due to the wind storm (and it was no joke, you guys). Can we get some hell yeahs in the chat for Jaye for making it this far?
Damn, that's well said. β₯οΈ
Blonde Alaskan husky being awkwardly tooth at my hand.
I'm so sorry- that sucks so much. My physical limitations are so hard to accept, and people being nice about them makes me both weepy and angry. Figure that deserves an incredibly awkward outtake. We are here to help lol π¬π€¦πΌββοΈplease be kind to you β₯οΈ
Facebook post from Silver Ace Sled Dog Kennel: Matt and these amazing dogs are running through the highest elevation of the entire race! Rainy Pass. Known for its wind, I am anxious to hear how it is now. I was able to receive a text from Matt just minutes ago as he navigates the pass and it brought me to want to post now. He took the time to expose his fingers to message me because my Ghost is leading him through the pass. A pound puppy, a foster fail, she is phenomenal. Ghost,Β I adopted before Matt and I were one kennel. She owns a part of my soul. An amazing women, Carol Kleckner introduced her to me through her incredible program of Second Chance League over 5 years ago. A program to help move sled dogs out of the pound, she did amazing work and brought my Ghost to me and now Matt- leading through the pass. Ghost was given to me with 2 collars and 2 leashes on with the words "if she gets away, she's never coming back, hold tight". Nervous and afraid was an understatement for how Ghost acted. Terrified of humans. I worked with her on end inside, trying to find a space on the couch or a room she could find comfort, she hated it. Wild golden eyes followed me as her white shape darted across the room. Well, I thought, maybe she would rather the company of dogs.
Gave her a space in the dog yard and she absolutely came alive. Somehow simultaneously playing with all four of her neighbors at once. The heart of the party. Ok, outside it is I thought. Let's try the trail. I started taking her on walks and the flip was as immediate as was possible. She loved the trail. Finding what was around the next corner, what sounds she could catch for herself. She started hoping up on my leg when I would squat down near her. It felt like she wanted to share the trail with me, adding in physical connection as well as our emotional connect over the love of the outdoors. Ok, let's try team. Oh boy she practically dug a trench as she ran, powering in so hard and fast. Let's try loose time. She ate it all up. She wasn't glued to me outside, proving her comfort in our space but would constantly check in. Running back to me just to say hi, four times as many times as the other playing dogs. My friend now. We had something special already. One cold evening out running dogs with her in the back of the team, I thought... why not, I'm going to put her in lead. And now... my baby girl is leading my other half through Rainy Pass in the Iditarod amongst her last years 2nd place teammates. My Ghost, what a champion you are! (P.S. she now LOVES the couch inside too. Flip back to a post a couple days before Iditarod of her and Stevie cuddling on the couch)
Next up for the team after the pass is the Dalzell Gorge.Β The heart of adrenaline in the Iditarod many musher would say-including Matt, is the Gorge. Once again, official trail descriptions have used the word "nightmare ". Just like the steps, this is all in reference to sled driving. Glare ice, open water, snow bridges and tight canyon running around obstacles. A strong backbone, a good lead dog, more then a couple butterflies throwing up themselves in your stomach and your in Rohn! A tremendous accomplishment rolling into that checkpoint. Proud mushers and prouder dog teams! I can't wait to hear from Matt and the other mushers how it goes! I want to end tonight's post for Will and Shawn of ATAO Kennel. They saved my teams and my butt this evening from a monster moose out on the trail. After a stand off with me in front of the team, trying to make my 5'2" frame look like something it's not and a monster moose staring us down, deciding if we were worth the trouble. I had the seconds to pull out my phone and type in their number. It rang once, no joke. Will and Shawn were there in seconds, prepared to do it all for me and my team. Thankfully the moose decided on her own that we were indeed not worth the trouble and trotted off. Now those are real Alaskan neighbors and friends. I couldn't be more thankful. Photo of me and Ghost

Baking frightens me, which made this adventure all the more "edge of my seat" plus the Mad Libs energy was peak.
Sophia, tbh, this saved a pretty rough day for me and I'm grateful. Chaotic, demented, brilliant, hilarious and chaotic! What's not to love. Thank you, enjoy your brownies!
SINCERELY
Crying, laughing, throwing up
Pretty sure this is the Iditarod equivalent of Tom Holland's lip sync battle?
You see it, you gotta repost it!
I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well
holy shit
