It was a beautiful day in the PNW today so I took the baby chicks outside for a bit. They enjoyed eating the grass,moss and leaves. The tiny yellow ones can squeeze through the bars in the fence. Stella Mae and Luna nearly had chicken dinner, but they were good girls when I told them to leave it. 🐣 🐔 🐥 🐓

Our little farm has picked up some new ladies today. More are coming, but today we picked up 2 Lavender Orphington Chicks and 2 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte Chicks. We still plan to get a couple Easter Egger Chicks and Buff Orphingtons to add to the flock this year. Can’t wait for them farm fresh eggs again.

Soooo bad news y’all. Stella Mae missed her breeding cycle. She went to the reproductive vet and had her progesterone tested as well as her Brucellosis test. Everything came back good and normal. She will be ready to be bred in late spring/early summer (June is her next heat due date) which would put pups on the ground in August which means the go home Octoberish just in time to continue their hunting training like they never left here.

Happy New Year everyone and allllll them Loudie baby owners protect your beers and drinks over the new years celebration Mama Luna personally would drink alllllllll the beer in the world. I can’t imagine her babies being any different. This is Stella in trouble for sneaking drinks. 🍺

I’ve had some folks asking about our next round of puppies. Stella Mae is taking her sweet time to go into heat this round. She’s late on her heat cycle. Her little area did swell for like 3 days so I thought for sure she was going into heat then. It’s pretty common for that heat cycles are a bit off until a first litter is born. We do still plan to have puppies in 2024 it will just depend on Miss Mae and when she decides to go into heat. We will keep ya updated as I know more.

Many of my vet clinic friends have told me about this new respiratory virus going around that isn’t responding to antibiotics. Here is more about it

08/12/2023

Now we’re talking. My sourdough starter is finally active and happy.

30/10/2023

It’s that time of year again. The apples from our trees are ready so time for some homemade apple sangria. Mmmm mmmm mmm I can’t wait

Thanks everyone for your concern for Bouncy. She is resting way more comfortably today. She was still limping this morning so he has anti inflammatory and pain med this afternoon she had a very slight limp and is back to her old self. Thank you for all thoughts and prayers. Y’all know when this one decides to cross that bridge it’s going to be suuuuuuper rough. I’m happy she bounced back so quickly this time

29/10/2023

When it rains it pours now my ole lady Bouncy is having a rough time. We are doing a puppy trade tonight so I will be sleeping with Bouncy. Everyone else is nervous about her going up and down stairs but I can’t let the ole girl sleep alone. She’s never slept alone a day in her life. She’s stilll happy and tail wagging. The floor is getting harder for her so I may need to invest in some runner rugs that lead to the doors and her bed. She is on a anti inflammatory and pain meds and currently resting comfortably. 3 more months and she will be 14

I’ve probably gotten 20 messages today about Luna so thought I’d post an update. She’s doing well. There are still 2 bo***es that have small amounts of milk and her energy is back to a normal German Shorthair. I did have to give her a half amount of sedative because she’s a little toooooo active. Her belly stiches have seeped open slightly, but not anything alarming. It’s waaaay easier this time around. Bouncy’s spay was a friggin nightmare so this is a piece of cake comparing between the two. Luna has been super clingy and seems “scared” to be left alone. She screams and cries even if I just go check the mail without her.

Snuggles with Mama Luna. I took her cone head off to give her a break and I’m here watching. She is doing waaaaaaaaay better after her cabbage leaves treatment. Her bo***es are nearly back to normal.

25/10/2023

Mama Luna update. She’s doing pretty well this morning. After her cabbage treatment last night this morning her mammory glands are waaaaaay less angry this morning. She does still have milk in some ni***es but they are not rock hard anymore (yay) and she seems more comfortable today. She seems chilly and keeps shivering I did remove her t shirt though so she may just be chilly.

25/10/2023

Well that’s not what ya want. Luna is having some mammory issues. I Went to inspect her incision today and her ni***es were super swollen. It literally looks like she’s about to pop babies in a day or two I talked with the vets and they think she may be experiencing a false pregnancy. She is acting completely normal at this point and not running a fever at all just producing milk like crazy The doctors are having me watch for ANY signs of mastitis and if she gets any signs to call right away to be put on high dose antibiotics. For now they have us putting cabbage leaves on her ni***es for 2-4 hours at a time a couple times a day to help with inflammation and swelling. I have never experienced this before ever especially after a spay, even the vet was a little dumbfounded. Hoping this truly is just a false pregnancy and this will be over soon.

This little beauty just got all her OFA testing back and cleared by the vets to be bred December 2023 which will bring us our first Stella Mae babies February 2024!!!! She will be bred to the handsome Wheeler who we have used before as a stud. I would highly recommend getting on our waiting list now if you want in on one of these gorgeous pups.

22/10/2023

She’s up and moving. She tried to chase a bird but she was on a leash so didn’t get far.

21/10/2023

Loudie has upgraded to Cone head and tshirt. She now started scratching at her shoulder stiches.

21/10/2023

Luna update. She’s doing pretty good. She’s a bit sore but she ate some and drank some and took her pain meds. She has started licking her incisions though so she has upgraded to a full time cone head.

21/10/2023

Slowest she’s ever eaten a puppichino in her life but she still had to have birthday celebrations. She’s still pretty out of it but is resting comfortably. Tonight will be rough when the wicked come of shame has to be worn.

20/10/2023

Luna is home and resting comfortably. She’s a little chilly and sore, but super snuggly. Thank you all for the love and support.

20/10/2023

Happy Birthday Loudie Tootie Fresh and Fruzie!!! She’s 6 years old today. I didn’t even think about her birthday when we had to reschedule her spay. 😞 Sorry Loudie Tunes.

20/10/2023

Positive thoughts and prayers for this little wiggle butt. She goes in tomorrow morning to get her lady bits removed. Hoping for a uneventful and speedy recovery.

03/10/2023

When dogs awake from anesthetic they tend to react just like humans. Shaky, wobbly, doze off all day, wake up panicked and super cold. THIS IS THE CALMEST YOU WILL EVER SEE A GSP!! She’s usually running sun up to sun down. She did pretty well over all today though. The rest of the night is going to consist of snuggling and naps.
