Dagger has found his home!
Dagger has found his home!
He will still have a page about his success story with us! But he is now in a very loving home with a silken brother! Hopefully I will be able to update you on that, soon.

Dagger is looking for a home.
Dagger has been surrendered to the Silken Windhound Health and Rescue and is now in foster care under Stardust Silkens. Please check his page out.
Look at the difference in his expression in the picture from this announcement, when he was in pain from his teeth vs. the one after his teeth removal/right before he found his home in the announcement above.

Maestro's Teeth Removal
Maestro's Teeth Removal
Maestro went to the vet to get what we thought might be a couple teeth removed - we had noticed some graying/a translucent appearance to at least two of his front, bottom incisors (and an awful smell in his mouth, despite daily brushing.) During surgery, they called us twice to remove multiple other teeth - totaling to SEVEN teeth (one canine)! We think it's a combination of Maestro's tight lips (his teeth get dry/touch the air a lot) and the lack of care for the first 5 years of his life. This was his second cleaning, he has had 8 teeth removed total. He is definitely our most expensive dog, with now 3 surgeries (bloat and 2 separate teeth extractions) and 2 dental cleanings but we love him so much and he is beyond worth it.
We love you, Maestro! Here's a video of his adventure.

Starswift Borzoi Puppies!
Starswift Borzoi Puppies!
Seven and I had the absolute joy of meeting Starswift Borzoi's latest litter, Seren x Phantom. The healthiest and sweetest puppies I may have ever met! They were such a joy - it was hard to leave! Thank you so much, for sharing the joy, Jamie!

Cosplay
Cosplay
Seven and I have been enjoying cosplay and going to conventions. We have gone to Motor City Comic Con and Colossalcon in our Hazbin Hotel cosplays. Pictured is me as Valentino, and here you can see Seven as Vox. It's been a blast!

Hunting Dogs!
Hunting Dogs!
I have been lucky enough, now, to see Sage (and Maestro!) dispatch (aka: kill) three young groundhogs! I am so proud of them and how efficiently they did the job! Sighthounds areprey-driven dogs (though mine are cat-safe and can discern prey vs. family member) and groundhogs are incredibly destructive to housing foundations, so this was very encouraged. Good job, boys!
First time. Second and third time.

Eclipse
Eclipse
Had lots of fun viewing the eclipse this year in the path of totality. The dogs didn't even seem to notice or care about the world going dark for a minute! Here's a video!

Visits with Bree
Visits with Bree
We have been having lots of visits with our best friend, Bree! The silkens love hanging out with their family, Pink. They all got ice cream, of course. ; ) And hung out by the bonfire!

Annual Vet Visit (March)
We had our annual vet visit in March and everyone has wonderful bloodwork, parasite and bug-free, and while they get a bit stressed during the visit, we always make it worth their while with treats!

Fox Glen Kennels (Febuary and April)
Fox Glen Kennels (Febuary and April)
Seven and I have had the absolute joy of meeting the incredible Elise and Ron of Fox Glen Hounds two times, now. We have also met the wonderful W.Ahryn Rowlette. I have learned so much from them and their kindness, and hope to continue to visit and spend time with these wonderful Silken Windhound breeders.
Here's a couple videos of the first visit: 1, 2

Life Changes
Life Changes
A lot of changes have been going on and I have not been able to update as much. I am taking the time now to catch everyone up. Seven and I have been visiting parks, getting outside more, and enjoying life without the stress of social media.
Maestro attended his first anime convention (Zipcon 2024) in February- we are so proud of him, he did amazing! We went to the Cleveland Aquarium in April, with just Sage, who did perfect as always!
