Living with Wolfdogs
Here we go again.... This time it is Tuchena's turn! On 14th March I noticed a large cut on Tuchena's hip. She and Zephyr had been playing in the garden and they can play rough and fast. We guess that this had something to do with it, but can't be sure. She obviously caught it …

On Saturday lunchtime I was out for lunch with a friend when my phone rang. It was Leon calling to tell me that Otis had collapsed and he was on his way to the vet with him and could I meet him there. I quickly left, put Zephyr in the van and drove to meet …
On the evening of Sunday 23rd January this year, Zephyr came in from the garden looking like this... ...I thought perhaps he had been in a scuffle with a badger, although we hadn't heard anything.

Zephyr and I have had a really busy couple of days. On Friday I took him to the vets for the first time, which went better than I had thought and although we didn't manage to weigh him, the vet agrees that he is approx 45kg. On Saturday we went for a walk around a local …
On Thursday evening I attended at talk by Nick Thompson on Raw Feeding, hosted by the lovely peeps at Chapel Farm. Although we have always fed raw, it is sometimes nice to go back to basics and be reminded why you chose it in the first place. Raw feeding is growing in popularity, and while some …

Tuchenas scar from being spayed this week. She spent about 24 hours feeling sorry for herself before she was back to normal, wanting to chase Zephyr around the garden! How do you keep a Wolfdog quiet for 2 weeks post op??
