Courtney Camera, our beloved Co-Producer and insane dog lover, was featured on the latest Girls Gone Geek audio podcast! We’re very excited here at Dog Files Central and we think she did an incredible job.
Listen to the podcast here and then take a look at the Girls Gone Geek web site.
We would like to thank Liana Lehua, Marissa Levy, Melissa Thiessen for being so gracious and just plain cool to Courtney and The Dog Files!
This past week, the Dog Files crew had the pleasure of traveling to the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, NY. Once there, we spent the day learning about the Wolves from Maggie Howell and Rebecca Bose, two of the great people working daily at the center to ensure the longtime survival of this incredible animal.
Some of the wolves we met were Apache, an Arctic Wolf (white wolf pictured below,) and Lukas, a Canadian/Rocky Mountain Wolf (grey wolf also pictured below.)
In addition to learning about the wolf, one of the reasons we went to South Salem was to learn about its connection to our beloved dogs. We found out that Wolves can whimper like dogs, but only bark in cases of sensing danger. Also, that the Alpha Wolf lifts its leg when peeing and they all seem to kick up dirt with their hind legs after said event. One of the more annoying traits my two dogs have!
In all, we had an incredible time spending the day with one of nature’s most incredible creations. And when we got home to our own pups, we all had a renewed sense of wonder about them. Courtney, my co-producer, said she spent the evening howling to her dog, Buddha, but to no avail. He just looked at her like she’s crazy. Very astute dog!
Keep watching The Dog Files for this special episode coming this fall!
As Max contemplates under the flag about his country’s 233rd birthday, (he is part American Foxhound after all,) The Dog Files wishes you and your family an incredible Independence Day (sans alien attacks!)
But please remember not to take your dogs with you to watch the fireworks. The loud noise can be very frightening because they have much more sensitive hearing than we do. Your hound may become very upset and run away when they are frightened.
That being said, let the festivities begin! Mom, apple pie, baseball and dogs! Don’t know why they left “dogs” out of that saying.
Great article about The Dog Files on “In the Shelter of your Heart.” It’s a great web site by a dedicated owner of three rescue Pit Bulls who works to raise awareness in her South Dakotan community about the breed. Check it out!
