Why are you looking at a carousel of grainy kitchen photos of three gangly puppies?

BECAUSE:

1. Today is Dude’s TENTH birthday 🎉🎉🎉 Double-Digits for Dude 🥹 He was already four months old when he joined the pack, so I don’t have any baby-baby pictures of him. He has been such a fun dog to get to spend time with and I will never be able to properly thank him for the work he has done to help make the wolfdogs in my life happy 🧡

2. May 21st is the day I brought Wild home 💙 He never appreciated pictures with me, so please enjoy him eating my hair while I tried to get a shot of how big he was at just a few months old 😅

3. Today is Hallu’s Gotcha Day! I have so many photos of Hallu to match the ones of Wild and I think this version of that perfectly showcases how different they are 💛

Grateful for these three boys in my life 😭

If you’ve watched any of my stories over the last couple of months, you’ve seen me post little Doodle-Paints. They’re my current favorite non-scrolling activity that doesn’t involve dogs 🙂‍↕️ For me, it’s not about the perfectionism of anything, it’s about taking 5-10 minutes to see something in a slightly different way. This one is of one of my favorite pictures of Wild, and I still struggle with getting colors blended and perspectives correct, but I loved spending some time with my boy in this way and I thought I’d share 💙

A large part of wolfdog ownership is sacrifice. You sacrifice your time, your space, and more often than not - opportunities for travel. I don’t regret that! I don’t intend to ever take long trips without Hallu, I just prefer seeing the world with my dogs than without them, but the situation for the Rally Nationals this year was too good to not try. It’s only a few hours away, only for a few days, so if he doesn’t do well, I can pretty quickly get back to him.

Wolfdogs do not like change in their environments. They often do not like strangers in their environments. Not in an aggressive way - in an avoidant way. It’s a throw back to the genes that kept their ancestors safe in the wilds, so we cannot blame them. When coming with me isn’t an option, I’m grateful that I have a village willing to hang out with my creatures 💙

Hallu is 🎉FOUR🎉 today!! This birthday is one I’ve been somewhat dreading, as it was the last one I celebrated with Wild. Hallu is in some ways Wild’s exact opposite: where Wild was selective with which dogs he liked, Hallu is selective with which dogs he *doesnt* like (it’s very few 😅); where Wild rarely offered close-quarters cuddles when we weren’t on vacation, Hallu starts every single day with requests for full-body squeezes; where Wild saw potential friends in most humans, Hallu sees potential danger - genetics are a crazy thing.

We’ll soon be living in a world where Hallu will have been on this earth for longer than Wild ever got to, and the points of comparison will become less and less on the forefront. I’m forever grateful that Wild taught me all he did in his short stay, and I’m so beyond thankful for the dog that Hallu is because of those lessons. Hallu is the sweetest soul, the happiest of boys, the kindest little Mouse Prince to ever walk the earth 💛🐭👑

I think I share this photo every year, but since humans have now officially traveled further away from earth than ever before, I felt it was time to post it again 🧑‍🚀🚀 Watching the live streams and hearing the astronauts on Artemis II has been such a delight during such otherwise tulmultuous times 🧡

Love these two girl dogs 🥹 Both girls worked very (mostly) hard this weekend to earn some new alphabet soup after their names 🙂‍↕️
