77Herford Farm Zoo Journal Moving

[Ms. Research]

Well the Wife and I chatted this evening and she is still upset but more mad than anything. She wants me to get dogs if thats what I want for guardians and she knows thats what I want. She said, this time they will be right by the house when they are puppies until they reach adulthood and she wants them to be nasty enough to take on anymore monsters.

So I'm researching for breeds or mixes of dog.

Glad to hear dogs are in your future again. Definitely research Kuvacz. Amazing breed. But very hard to find a true Kuvacz.

Good luck with research. Definitely keep us posted on what you decide. Lots of good guard dogs here in the US.

I think keeping the pups right by the house until adulthood is an excellent idea.

Can't wait to see what you get.

Ok, we didn't think it was possible for any of the pups to survive as per their condition but 1 did!! Rolley is showing signs of improvement even though he is fighting infections and multiple broken bones. He must stay sedated for sometime so he doesn't tear he's stitchings and mess up his other repairs. My wife is going back to work to stay with him during the night shift and bringing in a shirt from each of us to cuddle with.

I'm sorry I made it sound like they were all dead but the likelyhood of any of them surviving was VERY unlikely and I didn't want to build up any hopes as I didn't think any would make it. Rolley if he gets past the infections will make it, even though the Doc says he'll make it now.

So the week is MUCH better now. Rolley will probably never be his full self again but will always be part of the family.

I went to see him this morning and he was awake and his weak tail slightly wagged as I nuzzled him and petted him softly.

That is amazing news! It is truly astonishing what they can pull through sometimes.

 

[77Herford]

Yes, after the phone call I was pretty happy and had to wake up my wife early.

 

[autumnprairie]

I am happy that Rolley made it, sending prayers your way.

Just checked on the Rabbits and the preggo doe is getting big. I'm hoping for baby rabbits soon but frankly I don't know when the bunnies are do and niether did the previous owner.
Just hope for no, white devil eye'd bunnies, lol. My three NZ's and one Champ. I finally bred my Champ doe with the NZ buck, should be nice.

Happy to hear that. I have heard that Tibetan Mastiffs are a great dog. They take their job very serious, and yet they are good family dogs. They will keep anything and everything away. They will let you know when something is there as well. Good luck. Hope to hear and see pictures of the new pups!

That is great news! Thank you for letting us know. Hope he can come home soon. That's great that he was wagging his tail a little bit. Good luck with everything. Hope he can home soon!
