A Voice from the Field. The Life, Travels, and Writings of The Naturalist's Quill. The Puppy Press: Meeting the New Arrivals. May 23, 2014. May 23, 2014. Netar knew something was happening. And they absolutely could not wait to meet the puppies that they knew were on the way. Adult wolves adore puppies. It’s a simple fact of their lives and an instinct that has made this pack-oriented species so successful. In most wolf packs, only the alpha male and female have puppies, and the pack works togeth...We tw...

Put the Camera Down | A Voice from the Field

https://avoicefromthefield.wordpress.com/2014/08/15/put-the-camera-down

A Voice from the Field. The Life, Travels, and Writings of The Naturalist's Quill. Put the Camera Down. August 15, 2014. I’ve been writing the Puppy Press for about three months now, and each time I write a post, I always make sure to include plenty of photos and videos to help you visualize my experiences. I capture images of sleeping puppies, cuddling puppies, and playful puppies, but photos don’t tell the whole story. Photos may not tell the whole story, but they’re still pretty darn adorable. I’ll al...

https://avoicefromthefield.wordpress.com/2014/07/11/from-the-sandbox-to-the-jungle-gym

A Voice from the Field. The Life, Travels, and Writings of The Naturalist's Quill. From the Sandbox to the Jungle Gym. July 11, 2014. July 11, 2014. Do you remember playing in the sandbox as a kid? Some of you probably did so because you were too small to play on the big-kid playground, which included fun toys like big-kid swings, big-kid slides, and the pinnacle of all playground activities the jungle gym. And then one day, Mommy said you could leave the sandbox! Ahuli may be the smallest puppy, but he ...

June | 2014 | A Voice from the Field

https://avoicefromthefield.wordpress.com/2014/06

A Voice from the Field. The Life, Travels, and Writings of The Naturalist's Quill. June 27, 2014. After working with the wolf puppies for a few weeks now, my fellow volunteers and I have noticed a few trends with the park visitors. First, they often raise a curious eyebrow at the sight of humans sitting in the pen with the puppies. Second, they often have similar questions, such as. Why are you in the pen with the puppies? Why won’t the people talk to us? Are you making the puppies tame? June 19, 2014.

The Art of Puppy Zen | A Voice from the Field

https://avoicefromthefield.wordpress.com/2014/07/18/the-art-of-puppy-zen

A Voice from the Field. The Life, Travels, and Writings of The Naturalist's Quill. The Art of Puppy Zen. July 18, 2014. I’ve recently had a couple of days that just weren’t that great. I could tell you the reasons, but they wouldn’t add anything to the story. We’ve all had bad days, and it’s hard to feel happy, motivated, or productive during those times. But after an evening with wolf pups, it was as though all the stress in my life had never existed. Wolf puppies saving my sanity, one cuddle at a time.

https://avoicefromthefield.wordpress.com/2014/08

A Voice from the Field. The Life, Travels, and Writings of The Naturalist's Quill. The Moment of Truth. August 22, 2014. August 22, 2014. Last week I spoke about the importance of putting the camera down sometimes and living in the moment, but for this final installment of the Puppy Press, pictures are the best way to tell the story. The introduction process took place from evening to morning and relied on a thorough understanding of wolf behavior to ensure that everything went smoothly. August 15, 2014.

Confessions of a Puppy Parent | A Voice from the Field

https://avoicefromthefield.wordpress.com/2014/08/08/confessions-of-a-puppy-parent

A Voice from the Field. The Life, Travels, and Writings of The Naturalist's Quill. Confessions of a Puppy Parent. August 8, 2014. When I first started the Puppy Press, I wanted to make it more about the wolf pups and less about me. I figured people would rather learn about the pups and look at adorable pictures than read about me. And you know what? For this week’s Puppy Press, I’m going to share my Top 10 Confessions as a first-time Puppy Parent. Confession #1: It really was love at first sight for me.

Training in Social Graces | A Voice from the Field

https://avoicefromthefield.wordpress.com/2014/08/02/training-in-social-graces

A Voice from the Field. The Life, Travels, and Writings of The Naturalist's Quill. Training in Social Graces. August 2, 2014. The wolf puppies will join the adults as one big pack of seven by the end of the month, which means we’re starting to wind down the Puppy Press. By this time, you have probably heard the term socialization to refer to the process of raising the pups. But how exactly does socialization work, and how do we go about the process of introducing the pups to the adults? The pups join the...
