RITTER'S DOG NIGHT SLIDE SHOW JUNE 2008

WOLFDOG DEN - BATHTIME FOR SUNDANCE

Well, Sundance and mommy just took a bath although I don't think mommy intended to have hers in the screenroom. It is a good thing we have a privacy fence because it wasn't pretty, mommy says it is like wrestling with an alligator. Sundance is now in his room drying off and pouting although I did see him turn around and give his granny some kissing and hugging so I guess he has forgiven her.....for now. I hear thunder in the distance and I know someone is not going to be pleased if we went through all of that and it winds up raining out dog night at Ritter's. As you can see from the picture, he does not appear to be very happy. Hee, hee. Better him than me!

WOLFDOG DEN - SEQUOIA AND FREEDOM'S DATE

We just received a call from Aunt Lisa; Freedom and Sequoia have had a successful date. Let's keep our fingers crossed that we have puppies in a couple of months. If all goes well, the puppies will be born anywhere between 57 to 63 days and may we hope for a healthy batch of puppies and lots of pictures to add to the blog. Freedom has a great personality and is gorgeous and that mixed with Sequoia's beauty and sweetness should make for some great puppies. If anyone is interested in a puppy, let us know, I am sure Rick and Debbie would be happy to start a list. To contact me, e-mail addy is bdurrance@cfl.rr.com or barbara.durrance@gmail.com. I can then put you in touch with Rick and Debbie. Freedom's daddy is going to provide information about him but Sequoia is from Spirit and Cheyenne and is 74% arctic timber wolf mixed with Malamute and Husky. This wolfdog den is very excited.

P.S. As you can see, swimming pools aren't just for swimming, they make great containment for the first 1 to 2 weeks of puppy birth and mommy can easily get in and feed and will keep the area nice and clean.

WOLFDOG DEN NEWS

Spirit here. Getting started late today, mommy took lunch to Aunt Lisa's house. I hate when she does that, nothing to pilfer. And she had the nerve to come back here with "Yorkie" breath; yep, she pet and kissed a Yorkie, our cousin Kodiak. Gonna try to get a picture of him, he is like a spot compared to the rest of us. I think mommy is planning on going to dog night at Ritter's. Aunt Lisa and Aunt Michele want to go. I heard her talking on the phone about giving Sundance a bath which means he is going to dog night. I didn't even get asked if I wanted a bath. That's okay, I didn't want one anyway, I like this grayish-brown color I have become. It is tough being a white dog, seems like everything sticks to your fur. Speaking of fur, Cheyenne is shedding like crazy right now, it is coming out in clumps. The dustbuster has been busy. Sundance doesn't like that thing either. Come to think of it, Sundance doesn't like much of anything. Well, time for another nap, enjoy the picture of one of my pups trying to sneak some dog food. Like father, like son.
