Spring is here, temperatures are rising, and we’re spending more time with our dogs and friends! If your dog is showing signs of kennel cough, please be considerate and avoid attending classes where they could spread it to others. Just like with humans, it’s best to stay home until they’re completely symptom-free.

News from the whelping box…..
Mother Nature and all her instincts continue to amaze.
If Etta is not in whelping box w puppies, they cuddle together and are silent.
Newborns only p and p**p when stimulated by mom. Pups relax and let her do this and clean them.
She will root through the pile of pups, flipping and nudging, till she finds “ the one” that has to go!

🐦 Woodcock Wednesday: Nature’s Funky Forager!

The American Woodcock has a signature "rocking" walk—but it’s not just showing off! This little dancer’s moves help stir up earthworms hiding underground, making for an easy snack. Pretty smart for a bird that grooves!

🔥 Our Spring Membership Drive is still ON! Protect quirky upland birds like the woodcock and shape the future of upland hunting. Join the movement today! → https://d.pr/cu09AU

Show prep

Rice socks are the best! Fill a sock with 2 cups of rice and toss in the microwave for a minute. Puppies are comforted by the warmth. These are going home with their new owners. It’s magic!
Dollar Tree has great cartoon socks!
