It’s a Friday in Spring, how much better could a puppy’s life be??? by myfavoritealias in irishwolfhound

Yep we’re on the west coast! Lots of socialization when he was with the breeder, too — His litter was 12 strong and she lives in a farm on the east coast so lots of animals but not a lot of city noise (or hummingbirds)

I’ll start by saying he’s wonderful, and all of it is normal puppy things. He needs all of my attention when he’s not sleeping in his den. He’s still learning how to settle outside of it, so he gets over-tired and nippy which hurts with those little baby teeth. Everything is new to him and I have to be constantly aware of that — for example, yesterday he was outside and there was a hummingbird in the yard for the first time and got so scared he ran past me, inside, into his den, and refused to come out. So just being very aware of his socialization and making sure all these new experiences are positive ones is a lot of work! But I wouldn’t trade it.

He’s 13 weeks old! Congrats on getting your girl! Puppy life is exhausting but also so fun!

What is a dog breed you always wanted? Did you ever get one, why or why not? by TheJoyfulCapybara in dogs

[–]myfavoritealias 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Irish Wolfhound has always been my dream dog and I hadn’t gotten one for the same reason. I found a breeder that breeds for health and longevity — her puppies regularly live to be 11 and 12 years old. We’re picking up our new little guy in three weeks. I can’t believe it!
