One final stretch run before our big race tomorrow! Just a short and slow one to keep them muscles moving 💪🏻 It was nice to have a little morning break from the panic of packing but it's time to get back to work.

We're furiously packing and getting prepped for our big races this weekend! If you're willing and able we would greatly appreciate assistance in getting to the start line 🙏🏼 Link in the thread for ways to donate! Thank you so much! We couldn't do it without all of your support!

Sled dogs: Working their fluffy butts off all season training for our races and doing amazing.
Me: Frantically getting gear and drop bags ready for the TR200 this weekend.
My house dogs:

The light is slowly making a return to Pleasant Valley. It felt so good to run in real daylight rather than just twilight yesterday. It certainly helped me feel better about it being -30 😂

Thanks to an incredibly generous donor, my entry fee is covered and I am all signed up! I am so grateful and so super stoked to hit the trail!! ATAO Kennel Shawn Goggins

I'm hoping to do the 200 as my first Iditarod qualifier! There's still quite a lot of expenses so any support would be greatly appreciated! These dogs have worked so hard & been so incredible this season! I want to give them a great race! persistencemushing.com

If anyone wants to sponsor me to sign up for the Two Rivers 100, I’ll sign up!
Looks like they need more teams to get it to go forward!

When your dog is too happy and friendly and wags her tail against things so hard you have to cushion and wrap it so she doesn't split open the tip 🙄 worst guard dog ever. She's got a big girl bark but will lick your face off for some butt scritchies.

A gorgeous few moments of our awesome 50 mile run yesterday! I am so super proud of this team. Most of them are in their first serious training season and they all look like seasoned pros. ATAO Kennel

Scenes like this make it all feel like a dream 💞☁️

Potato and Oliver are supervising prep for the first run of the new year. 10/10 very good supervisors. ATAO Kennel Shawn Goggins #osha #SafetyFirst

Merry Christmush Eve everyone 🌟 Shawn Goggins ATAO Kennel

Stand by for a festive AF Chrismush Eve run tomorrow evening

Im the proud owner of a shiny new red lantern! Came in last but that was the plan. It was the longest run & 1st race for the 2yr olds & they totally crushed it & had a great experience! Im super proud of how well they did. A couple teams even complimented their passing manners!
