Wolf Cubs!

[kokopelle]

wulfwalker's young female wolf-dog Wayah had seven puppies (aka cubs!!!) on 10/31. The first one was born at about 2:00 am. The rest followed that night and the following day. The puppies are really large and quite healthy now. Some more pictures of the puppies, their mother, and the pack hanging out with wulfwalker are in this flickr set.

Good grief, you really do live in a menagerie :P

The puppies look a bit squishyfaced. I assume they grow out of that ^^ They also make a very cute looking pile - hence the term, I imagine!

Their noses will grow out to look like the adults. The term "puppy-pile" is true. I found out that the cubs cannot shiver, so it is imperative to them to share body heat. They make little mewing sounds as they jockey for position in the puppy pile. Maybe I can film this on my phone and post it on Youtube...

Fostering.

Hey there! These are WONDERFUL!!!!!

I have a friend in Kansas City with a wolf cross who needs someone who can foster care for the next 4 months as soon as possible. Do you wolf people have KC connections anywhere?

My lovely mate is the wolf person. I will nudge her to answer the question.

I do not know of any fostering agencies in the KC area. I would contact the local rehab agencies for contacts. Also any pagan groups in the area... I believe Missouri and Kansas have anti-wolfdog legislation in effect, so be sure to caution them on revealing to much info.

Thanks for this, especially the caution. He doesn't look like a wolf unless you know what you're looking at, but the behavior is there. He's a great soul.

Thanks again for your help on this. She has now corrected the mini-crisis with an invisble fence. Just knowing there were wolf-dog people out in the larger world settled her down enough to problem solve.

That's great to hear. I'm sure wulfwalker would be glad to answer questions your friend has.

I'm glad that helped! Sorry it has taken me so long to reply, but the cubs are training me in their care and feeding through a select series of whimpers, whines and howls. any and all of which will bring me running out of the house to check on them and/or feed them again I appreciate your comments on them, Bright Blessings

Unfortunately, the wolf-dog has figured out that the invisible fence only hurts for a bit. I think she's just giving up on containing him and just hoping that he doesn't get caught in the leg traps her neighbor is setting for the next few months.
