**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I thought some of you would like to see a few of our puppies from over the years….. It’s hard to let them leave the homestead…but it sure is nice to see them happy and healthy in their new homes and new lives and new jobs….. Our puppies have not only become family members…but they’ve become farm dogs and service dogs…and hounds with jobs….. …..they’re baby-sitters…and companions…and housekeepers…and playmates….. They’ve befriended and been…

Maybe it’s because the clothes that you buy in Florida look like winter clothes, but aren’t actually warm like real northern winter…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* CLICK HERE***Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel*** Irish Wolfhound puppies and sleep deprivation go hand in hand….. But I’ve had a couple decent naps….. …..the boogers are growing…..I’ve showered….. Every litter is different…..there is almost an over-all “litter personality”….. Where this group is relatively small (only 5)…..they are robust…..very large…..and maturing quickly….. Willow is producing more than enough milk for the five poopers…..plus they have already started on…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* CLICK HERE***Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel*** Fenugreek…..it’s a thing….. It really is….. It’s an herb…or a root…or a leaf…..or some such thing….. …..I’m not really sure….. But it is one of the tricks-of-the-trade….. …..because when the herb is added to a mother’s dogs food…..it tends to increase her milk volume….. …..which is a good thing….. As you probably remember…..we have dairy goats…..(which is another good thing)….. …..(especially…

Ben lives his life is superlatives….. He’s the tallest Irish Wolfhound we’ve ever had….. …..he takes NOTHING seriously…..and always at warp-speed….. In the past we’ve had males who were “less than ardent lovers”….. It was necessary for me to become their cheering squad…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* CLICK HERE***Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel*** I think the world is a better/safer place because terriers don’t have opposable thumbs….. They are sneaky/fur-covered bomb-shells that connive & calculate….. …..quite often to their own demise or detriment….. Enter Drogo….. ~~~The Errant Jack Russell Terrier~~~ …..the key word…..? …..terrier….. Meal-time here can be a chaotic dance….. It needs to be well-choreographed….. …..and then it might possibly run smoothly….. But…..miss…

“Code of Chivalry” …..(a.k.a…..Val)….. …..(a.k.a…..Val Pal)….. …..she’s a high-energy derf….. She’s not a year old yet….. …..but she IS low-man-on-the-totem-pole….. She’s the youngest of the three puppies who we kept from each of the last year’s litters….. She is the youngest out of ALL of the females…..(mother and matron-aunts included)….. …..that’s not a good position to be in….. When things go wrong…..that’s the position that gets in trouble….. …..you are the habitual chew-toy…..the scape-goat….. …..you are always the one left…

*****(Disclaimer—–Don’t Try This At Home)***** Today we had a major slap-down/bitch-fight between two senior Irish Wolfhound females….. We don’t have them often…..rarely in fact….. …..but with multiple “whole” male and female hounds (not neutered or spayed Wolfhounds)…..its not surprising….. We normally keep a tight lid on these things….. …..but today?…..not so much….. …..they aren’t just pets…..they’re a pack….. I don’t really know what started it………….I watched the whole thing unfold—–very…VERY quickly….. It was a full-blown…..fur-flying…..attack-mode fight for what appeared to…

  *****Poisoning Warning For Pets***** This is more of a warning than a posting…………… We had a tragedy and lost one of our Irish Wolfhounds to accidental poisoning.   Fey…   “Mimzy My Fairy Fey”     I was prescribed a product called Fluorouracil.  It’s a cream in a tube used for topical, pre-cancer skin-spot treatment. *****CAUTION—Poisonous to Animals***** Given all of the sun here, it’s used a lot in Florida especially for old, sun-baked, dried-jerky like me. I’ve had…
