This week was a heavy one, lightly dusted with a b This week was a heavy one, lightly dusted with a bit of wonder.One of the greatest injustices of being human is that our pets don’t live forever. Losing them is a very specific kind of grief, especially in our 30s and 40s, when they’ve been there through so many versions of us. They show up after breakups and divorces, in empty houses that slowly become homes, and in the moments we start learning how to take care of something other than ourselves. When we’re forced to say goodbye, it leaves an aching hollowness.A week ago today, we lost a very good (and also terrible) small-sized, fluffy-butted dog, and it broke the heart of someone I love.This week, I:* drove to and from NYC to hold a paw* felt moon joy watching the Artemis II crew return safely* saw Macbeth in RichmondI discovered:* a few new Virginia wines* new parts of BrooklynNext week, I will:* finish a book (current read: The Correspondent)* run more miles than I did this week* write the sad thing

In this final Pupdate, I’ve got the story of the White Mountain 9, our final scratch of the race, and a good dog named Libby.& now, I need to go build a van. @dogteampetit @sadie_lindquist #iditarod #dogsofinstagram #gooddog #alaska
We’ve got ourselves an #Iditarod champion! Jessie We’ve got ourselves an #Iditarod champion! Jessie Holmes made to Nome last night. He’s the third champion to snag a consecutive win after an inaugural championship, and he joins just a handful of mushers with multiple wins. There’s still a lot of race left for the mushers at the back of the pack, and you thought I’d be done yapping, you’re wrong.
Y’all, we’re getting close(r) to naming a champion Y’all, we’re getting close(r) to naming a champion! The top teams are moving along the coast, and while Jessie Holmes is holding onto to his lead, there’s a lot of movement and leapfrogging happening behind him. Also, the coast is a place where anything can happen and where many races have been won and lost. Also in this, my sixth pupdate: blow holes, good dogs, updates from Jeff, Paige, Gabe, Bailey, Adam and Riley.@squidacreskennel @theiditarod @blacksprucedogsledding @teambaileyusa @evermoreadventures @sojourn_kennels #iditarod #dogsofinstagram #dogsled #uglydogs
