*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I realized I hadn’t done a puppy update for a little while….. All of our recent puppies have found their new homes…and Sabine is getting her figure back….. The majority of the puppies went to homes who have already had one of our Irish Wolfhounds in the past….. We’ve been bringing puppies into this world for a number of years….. I’m proud of our decades of involvement…Irish Wolfhounds are a wonderful ancient rare…
*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* In some ways the time has flown by….. In other ways…I feel like we’ve paid our pound of flesh….. …..if only the purple & blue shadowing under my eyes could be transferred to my upper eyelids like eye makeup…it might just look good….. Sabine’s eight puppies are almost ready to start going to their new homes…most of them are going to previous Irish Wolfhound owners…or referrals from friends….. …..this part…never…gets easier….. …..it’s always…
*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* We are no longer worried about problem eaters….. …..(that’s an understatement)….. We are no longer concerned about their successful transition from nursing to solid food….. …..(our current definition of solid food is pasty formula-soaked kibble)….. Everyone smells like sour milk…puppies and humans included….. …..because it’s everywhere….. …..in our hair…under our fingernails…behind our ears….. Nursing from Sabine was so much neater….. The milk went directly from her…into their mouths….. Now that they’re eating gruel…it’s…
**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Sabine’s babies are growing and healthy….. They are coming up to three weeks old….. Their eyes are open….. And the little fuzz-balls are just starting to think about eating gruel and soaked kibble….. It’s that super fun messy stage…where they wear more than they actually eat….. Sabine has been a great Mom….. She has produced milk abundantly throughout….. We did pull out some special herbs from our apothecary cupboard…to help her maintain and…
**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Sabine is bouncing back from her puppy delivery….. We’ve taken out her stitches (from the cesarean section)….. Against popular demand…gassy Sabine continues to love her fresh eggs….. My older daughter did a lot of research on what food add-ons would help to increase her milk production….. The list was interesting….. What was even more interesting…were the foods that Sabine really craves eating and begs for….. …..like raw broccoli(?)…(she drooled over the pieces like…
**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** …..(FYI–a dog trainer friend asked what’s going on with the spots on Sabine’s teeth)….. As I mentioned before…Sabine is not top of her class…intellectually speaking….. …..she’s a wonderful hound…she’s a loving sweet girl….. But some of her decision-making needs improvement….. She plays with rocks…and she chews on grout lines….. If left alone anywhere…she will find something to chew on and destroy….. She never outgrew that stage of puppyhood chewing….. …..we don’t judge…everyone is…
**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Yes…Sabine was pregnant….. We did a series of progesterone tests…and several X-ray views….. …..and yes…there was no doubt…Sabine was definitely pregnant….. So this last Saturday…we had a planned cesarean section delivery…and the puppies are Big….. There are five (5) boys and three (3) girls at the present time….. We will work hard at keeping everyone hale and hearty…but with Mother Nature…you just never know….. This is a short post…because…honestly…I’m exhausted….. Sabine is doing…
**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Sabine does look pregnant now….. My daughters are referring to her as a school bus….. It’s an applicable analogy….. I would guess a post on Saint Patrick’s Day about pending Irish Wolfhound puppies would be appropriate….. I’m always worried when we’re coming up to a puppy delivery….. Who am I kidding…I’m worried after they’re delivered…I’m worried when I’m feeding neonates…I’m worried about the families they’ll be going to…I’m worried about their future lives……..
**********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******* Sabine…is a hound dog…pure and simple….. She’s sweet…she wants to please…what more could you ask?….. Sabine wants to be good…sometimes…she just forgets what being good means….. …..she usually (almost always) forgets what being good means….. Sabine never grew out of her puppyhood chewing phase….. When we need to leave the house…we have to Sabine-proof everything….. …..you have to think of things from Sabine’s point of view—it’s so easy—it’s hard….. She doesn’t think in…
