My kennel website got a huge face-lift!! Everything is up to date now, and dog sponsorships are open for the 2025-26 season. Each dog can only have one sponsor, so you really will get to follow "your" dog through the season!

Honestly this box mix is super easy to make and they are REALLY good, better than the bakery ones I find at the grocery store 🤣 I feel like every grocery carries these in the bakery aisle

World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is in Alaska, where Typhoon Halong left a devastating wake of flooding and destruction in remote coastal cities. Our teams will be serving first responders and impacted families.

We’ll share more information soon. #ChefsForAlaska

Here's how you can help survivors of the Western Alaska storm

The remnants of Typhoon Halong have killed one person, left two missing, displaced hundreds and destroyed or damaged dozens of homes.

Melissa is going to keep this up because the next step is a specialist which is $$. We go back the 24th, day before MC wedding, for a recheck and next plans. Any extra funds left will continue to go for Tupac’s care. Thank you to everyone who has donated. I really appreciate it. #uglydogs

Hey friends! Becca @beccaj.bsky.social and Tupac need a little help. Tupac has been dealing with a frankly mysterious nail infection for almost 2 months that won't heal. The in and out constant vet visits have been a lot on Becca's budget. #uglydogs

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Alaska Community Foundation has set up a link to donate funds for those affected by the storms and flooding in Western Alaska.

AKCF is an amazing organization and 100% legit.
