**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I’d like to be talking in this post about Irish Wolfhound puppies…and posting pictures of cute little rolly-polly fuzzy jellybean-shaped puppies….. But…No….. Sabine is doing fine…and her children are all thriving….. We haven’t had to tube-feed anybody yet (which is wonderful)…because Sabine is making enough milk…and her puppies all got ample colostrum….. …..Those Are All Tremendous Pluses….. However…all of this has been over-shadowed…BY ANOTHER FENCE CUTTING(!?!)….. Ben and Acacias got out at about…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Sabine just may be pregnant….. She’s our happy-go-lucky…(a little bit clueless)…Irish Wolfhound….. It would be her first litter…it would be Acacias’ first litter too….. Where Irish Wolfhounds are concerned…you just never know….. They are both such sweet hounds….. But…neither one of them are intellectually acute enough to hear their own drummer…much less the band….. I think Acacias will forever be the eternal puppy…he has no idea how big he is….. He lumbers along…tail…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** In a previous post (***Disappointed Poultry***) I mentioned being “distracted” by Irish Wolfhounds in season….. At this point…we’re all very experienced at keeping the appropriate Wolfhounds separate from each other…at the appropriate times….. I just don’t want any pending litters of puppies during the up-coming time of year when I can actually go outside and ride….. I’ll plan a litter in six months…that would mean puppies in late spring…. …..but cool weather is around…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** We kept one of Willow’s puppies….. We named her Wisp….. Her registration will be Willow’s Wisp….. Her mother’s formal name is Will O’the Wisp….. …..naming babies after their parents…(it’s a thing)….. People think they pick puppies…it’s really the other way around….. When you’re on the side of the litter like we are…you see the puppies react differently to people who come to “choose”….. It’s really the puppies who choose….. …..there are those in…

She was the littlest/itty-bitty/gray Irish Wolfhound puppy in Willow’s litter….. …..odds were that she wouldn’t make it….. …..I shouldn’t use the past tense…..because she’s very much amongst us….. …..but this little pup played the odds….. Amy’s come such a long way….. …..she’s a fighter…..she never considered not…
