Bluebell has a special skill

Some puppies are born warriors, charging into every new adventure with reckless abandon.

Others are quiet observers, watching and thinking before making their move.

And then…

there’s Bluebell.

Bluebell, from our Cherry Blossom litter out of Cookie Monster and Galena, is a silver wolf sable female with a heart as big as her growing paws.

She’s not the largest in the litter, but what she lacks in size, she makes up for in drama.

You see, Bluebell has discovered a very special skill.

One that she believes should bring the world to her rescue at a moment’s notice.

It started innocently enough.

Every now and then, she’d find herself wedged under her mother’s front leg or tucked behind a pair of back paws.

A more practical puppy might simply wriggle free or find another path.

But not Bluebell.

She has decided that no great explorer should have to navigate obstacles alone.

Instead of moving, she tilts her head back, opens her tiny muzzle, and lets out the saddest, most heart-tugging howl you’ve ever heard.

It works, of course.

Every time.

But yesterday, something strange happened.

There was Bluebell, nestled perfectly comfortably between her mother’s paws, her belly full from a hearty meal.

There were no obstacles.

No distress.

No reason to call for help.

And yet, she lifted her little head to the heavens and howled—long, mournful, and full of a yearning none of us could quite explain.

What was she calling for?

Was she summoning the spirits of ancient dire wolves, whispering secrets carried on the Ice Age winds?

Was she dreaming of snowy tundras and moonlit hunts, longing for a time she’s never known?

Or… was she simply telling the world that she exists—that she is here, important, and deserving of every cuddle and bit of attention she can muster?

Whatever the reason, her message was received.

After her dramatic solo, she sighed, rested her head on her tiny paws, and drifted off to sleep, content in the knowledge that someone must’ve heard her call.

I can’t wait to see how Bluebell handles her upcoming temperament test.

Will she carry her song into adulthood, using her voice to communicate her needs?

Or will she grow into a quiet, watchful leader, saving her howls for only the most important occasions?

One thing’s for sure—this little dire wolf already has a story to tell, and we are lucky enough to witness the first chapters.

Here’s the link to the Cherry Blossom litter where you can see Bluebell and her siblings.
