Today, Kevin (my husband) and I took Cherokke and Sassy to the beach. Cherokee was funny as all get out! It was her first time she has been to the beach since she was a pup. I walked her close to the water, since I know she hates baths. I wanted to see how she would respond. That turned out hilarious! The water was coming in and she started to run like she was scared, then boom she turns around as the water was returning and pounced on it and started chasing it into the deep in. Cherokee thought it was attacking her or something like that, so she acted like she was waiting for the water to turn its back before she attacked. She was pouncing and jumping like a crazy dog! That was the fun moments at the beach, but it took a turn for the worse. Unfortunately, we will not be able to take Sassy on long walks or short walks on the beach. Walking in the sand was to hard for her. We didn't even walk 15 minutes total. It hurt her so bad she couldn't go up the steps to leave the beach. I felt horrible! So Kevin and I came to a conclusion. We will take them on their shorts walks like normal, but long walks and the beach are for Cherokee for now. No more beach definitely for Sassy, to big of a chance to take. She is 12 and has bad hips now. However we are going to buy a heavy duty wagon to pull Sassy in while we go on our walks. The dog wheelchair won't work on her, she is so big and her small front legs can't hold the weight of her body. So the wagon seems like the best bet. We had fun at the beach until the end. I don't want to see and of my animals hurt. I don't know what I would have done if she was to break a leg. She weighs 120 lbs. I wouldn't even be able to pick her up. I won't do that again!
Today, here in Florida, we had our first taste of Autumn! It felt so nice out! The animals liked it so much! Cherokee and Sassy feel refreshed when they go out. Sassy is so big, that the nice breeze and cooler temps help her breathe easier. Cherokee on the other hand, looks like a dog that needs ADHD meds, LOL! How does your act? I can't wait till it gets real cold here, then they will have more fun. Play time sucks here in the Summer, it's too hot for the animals to play outside. So when Atumn and Winter comes, they get to let loose and act crazy!
Today I am writing a post about a site I have been checking out for the past year or so.These pups vary from Low to High Content, from Utah to California. This is not a puppy mill, Just a loving family who breeds wolfdogs. Check out their website, they have youtube videos and up to date photos on the Adults and Pups. They are located in Utah, but they will fly the pups to you, that costs extra. They also accept Paypal! In the welcome page it states they normally have 3 litters a year, the rest you see are from other responsible breeders. My favorite females are Red Dawn and Kimberlind. My favorite male is Saber's Edge. Reading the site, you can tell the love and affection they have for their wolfdogs. These pups are born indoors and know the love and comfort of a human from the moment they are born. I love to watch the videos and if you are interested in a pup they will also give up to date videos as he/she grows. There is a contract! These aren't just dogs they are wolfdogs. You have to make sure it's what you want before you buy. Humane Societies do not adopt out Wolfdogs they are kill on site animals! If you are interested in a beauitful wolfdog to add to your family,then check out this site! http://www.wolfhuskypups.com/ Please before buying a wolfdog or any other animal for that matter make sure you know it's for the rest of their life. Wolfdogs can live up to 17 years.
This is Cherokee(Wolfdog) and Baby(Cat). Everytime it is time to feed Cherokee and Sassy(Lab/Rotti), Baby comes strolling in. Baby has never tried for Sassy's food, she probably knows she wouldn't go for it. Cherokee on the other hand, watches in a shockingly way and then joins in. Sometimes when it's at the last little bit in the bowl, Cherokee will smoosh the side of Baby's face in the bowl. Cherokee is a lover, she does not growl over food. A few weeks ago when she visied Freedom(Wolfdog). It was a hot day so I brought ice cream treats to cool them off. Then out of the blue Freedom took her ice cream, she whined and cried, she went to get it back and Freedom went off on her. So I admit my dog is a "Scaredy Cat". So does your four-legged family member like to share, too? Will yours let you near the bowl? Got to go now, hope everyone enjoys the pics. Hope your Labor Day was fun and safe!
