*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I realized I haven’t given an update on Killian’s last litter….. The puppies have gone on and started their new lives with their new owners….. Remember we give temporary litter names to the puppies…they aren’t anything permanent….. It’s just a temporary name that we can call them…until they get their forever names with their new families….. Quite often the litter names are established during a sleep-deprived/punchy-state in the midst of feeding and caring…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Yesterday morning we took Willow to Doctor Russell…to confirm that she was pregnant….. She’s been getting paunchy….. Her appetite has increased….. She’s been a little bit more verbal and whiny….. All the things that point to her probably being pregnant….. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ …..Well…The Joke’s On Us….. …..and Willow is snickering….. Willow is NOT in a Family Way….. Ha!….. She’s paunchier………….because she’s eating more….. Doctor Russell said it was hard to read the x-rays…because her…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I know it’s only temporary….. But I’m at that whiny-stage of puppy-rearing….. I’d like to sleep…a full night…in my bed…I’m tired of warming formula in the wee hours of the morning….. I’m exhausted from the continuous/prevailing panic about tube feeding in the middle of the night…(or any time really)….. I cover it…but it’s a constant under-current…of bile-enhanced fear….. It’s something I will never get comfortable with in the sunny light of day…much less…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* When it rains………….it pours….. Well…along with the arrival of Killian’s litter…the goats started kidding….. …..and kidding…and birthing…and kidding….. Remember the post where I wrote about Trooper being in a stall with a damaged door…and that hole kept getting bigger…and bigger….. And it was over-looked…and ignored…and over-looked some more….. And finally…Trooper just walked through it?….. And then he romped and had fun with ALL the ladies?….. …..we weren’t 100% sure that Trooper was fertile……..

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I’ve had it….. I’m about to choke him….. He’s a singularly-focused stud dog…. …..and Ben has decided to become a very vocal hound….. He’s not baying at the moon….. …..he’s pining for the girls….. I understand it’s the call of Mother Nature….. But we really need to have a chat…and possibly set up some sort of schedule and/or guidelines….. …..maybe some hours of operation…or something….. I love Irish Wolfhounds…I do….. I believe the…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Remember Sabine?….. Pretty Irish Wolfhound….. Nice furnishings….. Upright feet….. Good conformation….. Pretty eyes….. ………….idiot…………. She’s the one that’s not the brightest crayon in the box….. Before being born…she got in the line for trains…when they were handing out brains….. …..and she’s proved it………….again….. She’s way too old (dare I say matured?) to still be chewing up random things….. …..and yet….. If left unchecked…she’ll slip off into the bathroom and take the hand towel…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Ben will have some competition very soon….. After a lot of searching and researching…I found our next boy puppy….. Irish Wolfhounds (at best) have a limited gene-pool….. I’m sure I’ve said this before…but in and around the 1800’s…they almost became extinct as a breed….. Enter Captain Graham and Faust…(I do love that name)….. *****(Saving The Irish Wolfhound)***** He worked hard…but he saved the breed….. …..even today…the Irish Wolfhound does not have a vast…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Yep…our chimney’s needed some prompt attention for quite some time now….. Replacing the chimney cap can’t be put off any longer….. We used to be a one bucket family….. But now we’ve progressed to being a two bucket home….. And…I’d like to point out that during rain storms…the rainwater runs down the chimney…across the hearth…and onto the den floor in a sooty-slurry….. …..messy stuff….. …..(however…it does have a nice after-burn/creosote smell to it…I…
