Akyra was suffering from seperation  anxiety when Brittani would leave for work, so she wondered about getting a mature, calming playmate for her. We went to the Humane Society and walked through the barking, jumping, cowering and nervous dogs confined to their cages. As we walked past this one Pit Bull in his cage, we noticed he just set there, leaning against his door, wagging his tail each  time we walked past. Brittani arranged for a meet and great for us and him. What an adorable snuggle bear. Max was Akyra`s new playmate.

Jordan rescued a Shepard mix puppy with some wolf ancestry. He named him Genji and as he began to grow it was obvious he needed more area to exercise and play. Brit offered to try Genji with the pack and see how it may work out. Now the Three Amigos are best buds and of course what one doesn’t get into the others will!

Hanna garnered the Gold Medal for long distance walking in the Special Olympics Track and Field Indiana State Tournament!

On a brisk, chilly October morning, the Hunter`s Moon welcomed Jade Nicol into our Wolffs Den family. Jade Nicol, born 10-14-19, at 9:03 am and weighing 7lb 12oz and a length of 19in was a delight to see!!

Our second great-granddaughter came into the Wolff`s pack on the mutual birthday of her great grandmother, Carole Wolff, November third, twenty twenty one.  Viola Mae was born at 8:11, weighing in at 7 pounds 10 ounces and at a length of 20 inches.

Unlike her sibling, Jade, who was born under the full Hunters Moon, Viola entered our family under the phase of a New Moon.

After Viola came home, she settled in just fine.
