Hey, this is Natasha. I completely lost your e-mail address...I hope everything ended well with Prophet. I am so sorry for not contacting you back! :(

Hello, Natasha! Long time no chat. That's okay! And don't worry, Prophet is alive and well... But not thanks to me... I was VERY uneducated about wolfdogs when I got Prophet... And it did catch up with me! Anyways, he's no longer with me... He's a full time resident at a wolf sanctuary. I'm a little heart broken, but I'll be okay. Especially since I know he's be well cared for and loved. Genesis as well. If I ever have a wolfdog again, than I'll know exactly what to expect. Proper containment and being in a specifically rural area is a must. Never again will I be so foolish as to think a wolfdog could stay in a containment meant for domesticated dogs. Wolfdogs are amazing animals and make just as amazing companions for those who understand them.

Awww!!! I am glad he and Genesis are ok though and yes, it is quite the learning experience, but that was VERY responsible of you to realize that you were not ready. What sanctuary if you don't mind me asking?!

Yes, they are amazing, and I know one day you will be ready and have the time of your life raising another one. :heart:

Yes... So much has changed in so little time. And thank you for being so kind towards me.

Oh, I don't mind you asking! They are now full time residents at the Wolf Mountain Sanctuary. They are well cared for and loved there. It was a slow transition so as to not upset them. It still hurts me really... They will always be my irreplaceable companions. However, I simply was not right for them. I couldn't give them what they needed or deserved. The story is really long! Basically, everything that could go wrong, did. Because of my negligence. But I refuse to beat myself up about it any more. I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason.

Also, I have realized that even though I will soon be a college student, that I wanted companionship. Canine companionship of course! But this time, I know that a wolfdog is out of the question. One day, when I have a steady income and have a place in the country side (if I choose), with proper containment and time for a wolf or wolfdog (permits for a wolf of course), that I can actually become a good companion choice for a wolf or wolfdog. Of course, I still need tons more experience! The founder of the wolf sanctuary has been a blessing and she is helping me become more educated. Also... If I did get one again, along with all the stuff I'd need, I'd prefer it to be a rescued wolf or wolfdog. They need homes the most! Anyways (wow, I went way off of subject. XD), I have bought a good apartment sized dog that is independent enough to stay home alone for a few hours and energetic enough to enjoy hiking or agility, plus she's intelligent! She's a Shiba Inu that I have named Remedy. She's deffinately NOT a replacement. Prophet and Genesis will always be my companions as well, but Remedy is a new experience (one I know I can handle) all on her own! She is my newest companion. One I plan on keeping for her entire life-span, none-the-less! And I am surely getting her spayed. She came from a reputable breeder, but puppies aren't something I think I can afford. And I know now that if I even "think" I can't do it, than I shouldn't do it at all. Plus, she'll be much better off when she's spayed. With less chance of getting Ovarian Cancer and no chance of getting pregnant.

So that brings my animal count to two animals: One cat and one dog. In my area, two animals are allowed in an apartment. I feel no more urges to get any more animals either. We're a happy little family. :)

I will soon be putting up pictures of Remedy if you want to see her! I think you'll love her foxy-looking face! <3
