This year were turned the table, so to speak. Raven our one of a kind ambassador is getting on in years and we all felt that it was time to see if we could get a replacement ambassador animal. Of course there will never be another Raven, but we need to see if we can raise a Raven quality wolf to be our spokes person.
So this year it was me that started making phone calls to see if we could get two pups or more to raise as an ambassador.
In just a few weeks we got a call about two wolf pups we could get for free if we drove to Oregon to get them.
To our surprise just two days before we left we found out that we were not getting two but six little Artic wolf cubs.So my wife Georgia and our Daughter Lakota and I with two small pet carriers and six baby bottles hit the road.
Traveling with six adorable and hungry wolf kids was quite a challenge. We had to stop every few hours find an outlet to plug in the blender to make baby formula and a microwave to heat the bottles. Then feed hungry babies two at a time, then clean their furry faces wipe there little butts, then clean up all their poo, then wash out the blender and bottles, then get back in the car and drive a few more hours.
After getting the puppies home the work just got more challenging. The cute little buggers grew bigger each day.
Two weeks later we got a call that five Timber wolf pups just a week older that the Artic pups were in need of a place to go.
So volunteers Mary and Sean drove to Phoenix AZ. to pick them up.
Now we really have our hands full. Today all the pups eat around 80 pounds of ground meat a day. Our volunteers are grinding chicken, turkey and beef nearly all day just to feed all those hungry tummies. Speaking of tummies those pups have soft warm ones that are irresistible to us wolf freaks. Not just tummies but puppy breath and puppy kisses are the best. I can’t even describe how fun it is to have half a dozen or more furry little land sharks in your lap lovin’ on ya the second you walk in and sit down in their pen.
They are so fun, cuddly and cute it’s so hard to believe they grow up to be wolves!
Having all these new mouths to feed is costing a small fortune along with so many new potential vet bills so please keep us in the forefront of your mind and in your prayers.
With eleven wolf pups and lots of love and patients we should be able to find a good ambassador out of the bunch.
Come see the kids before they get huge let us share their growing up experience with you!
If you haven’t been out to the sanctuary in a while we have just given
You a good reason for the trip, puppies!
