If you could use a little brightness in your day, I recommend spending some time with sled dog MUPPY. I’m genuinely obsessed with her. She is an icon. She is a legend. Her legs are 4 inches long.

Meet Muppy, the World’s Smallest Sled Dog

Most sled dogs are huskies and pointers, but Muppy didn’t get the memo. With sheer determination and a whole lot of heart, this little dog is rewriting the rules of racing.

Usually I'm not a small white fluffy dog person, but your pup is absolutely adorable and I love him so much

The irony of it, I feel great now. It was just 2 weeks of misery and then my fever broke and almost immediately had relief

(human) Had a CT scan done. Left to get a celebratory burrito. Within 20 minutes, a doc called.

I have appendicitis. My body managed to seal off the infection/angry bits and it's why I'm feeling better. Waiting on a call to schedule to meet with the surgeon to discuss getting this bad boy removed.

This must have been a fancier kind. Had to drink it over the course of an hour consistently. Was raspberry flavored and not too bad

The human is at the hospital for a CT scan to see if they can find why she was having issues. She's feeling better!

We won't be at Byllesby but will be at the Dirty Dog Warm Up Race since it's closer to home in case she starts feeling rough again.

We are not. Human was not feeling good when registration ended so she didn't sign up. We are going to the Dorty Dog Warm-Up race in Pearson WI. They had a later registration and the human was starting to feel better so she signed up. It's also closer to home if anything happens.

Between the hot weather and the human having a mystery illness, we've had a lazy 2 weeks except for the hike human's hubby took us on and we traumatized him.

Today's run - I am a rock star who knows exactly what I need to do and not distracted by much.

Journey... is just along for the ride

Unfortunately we will not be at the UP200 dryland dash this year. The human has been dealing with a bunch of stomach pain and won't be up for it. I've been giving her snuggles today to help her feel better.

I'll be at Byllesby, Up200, and Redpaw for sure.

Not this time but I've snacked on them in the past and turned into a shar pei mix

The human had me behave for sunflower pictures. Then I misbehaved and ate a sunflower.

If we had shirts made, would you be interested in this design? Waiting on pricing but guessing it'll be around $30 and would be getting made by a local business, not a third party company. Also trying to source stickers.

I want second dinner. Sister wants a second throw. We are not the same.

(human) Playing around with a little poster for the mutts. I'm looking to update the name to be more of a group rather than dog specific.

Our other accounts vary with Blue and Friends, RunMuppyRun & TheDogPlant. Trying to stick with a merle/mold but haven't found one that just feels right.

The human got some cool blue/grey lights and was testing out the sound based colors. You gotta turn up the volume. This is what I live with.

When she pulls in the right direction, pretty well. But at least she no longer freaks out about the harness being put on or being chased by a bike.

Just another fun day trying to convince sister to run in the same direction as me

The weather is finally getting cooler and the humans are much more active with us. Sister and I would fetch until we collapse so the humans have to tell us to stop. Hopefully it gets cooler more so we can start running again

Throwback Thursday! This is from when my old sister was back in her prime. We had the same dad so this is where I get my tenacity from.
