Life lessons...

Life has a funny way of teaching us lessons, doesn't it? My journey has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, and healing and growth. Through it all, I've come to realize the importance of surrounding myself with the right people. Some have earned a spot at my table, while others have shown their true colors and won't be getting a second chance. It's all about learning and moving forward with those who truly support and uplift you.

I used to think my side of the story was the only one that mattered. But as time passed and wounds turned into scars, I understood that life is too short to dwell on the past. Instead, I focused on my own well-being and happiness. I let go of toxic relationships and embraced those who bring positivity into my life. It's liberating to know that I have the power to choose who gets a seat at my table.

Now, as I look around my table, I see a group of amazing individuals who have stood by me through thick and thin. They are the ones who bring laughter, love, and support into my life. I've learned that it's not about the quantity of people at your table, but the quality of relationships you have. Life is too precious to waste on those who don't value you. So here's to surrounding yourself with those who truly deserve a seat at your table.

Peace in your soul...

In a world full of chaos and noise, peace can be found in the simplest of places. It's not just about the absence of conflict, but a state of mind that allows us to exist harmoniously with ourselves and others. When we make a conscious decision to embrace peace, we open ourselves up to a world of tranquility and serenity.

Peace isn't just a distant dream or an unattainable goal. It's a choice we make every day in how we interact with the world around us. By choosing to approach situations with a peaceful mindset, we can diffuse tension and create a more positive environment for ourselves and those around us. Peace truly is a powerful force that can transform our lives for the better.

So, next time you feel overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of life, take a moment to pause and breathe in the peace that surrounds you. Remember, peace is not just a destination, but a journey we embark on every day. Embrace it, nurture it, and watch as it blossoms into a beautiful way of life.

Have a peaceful day!
XOXO

How we raise our puppies

How do we raise your future puppy here at Wind Whispers?
Picture
We talk to our puppies every day to build a love for human interaction.
At Wind Whispers Farm, LLC, our goal is to provide you a healthy, beautiful, intelligent, biddable, Rough Collie puppy. We breed Rough and Smooth Collies because we love them for their intelligence and beauty. Our puppies are raised in our home with lots of attention, normal household noises, our other Collies and hands on love. We begin socialization as soon as they are born and then exposed to as many things as we can to enrich their growth, keep them curious and give them confidence.
Some of the things we do with our puppies include:
- Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) exercises are crucial for the development of our puppies' physical and neurological abilities.
- ENS exercises involve exposing our puppies to various stimuli such as sights, sounds, and other animals like cats and dogs.
- Normal household activities like vacuuming or doing laundry should also be included in our puppies' exposure to ensure their comfort in any environment.
- Providing our puppies with the right amount of exposure and activities will contribute to their overall health and happiness.
- We believe that by raising our puppies with these practices, they will grow into well-rounded and joyful adults.
- Additionally, we make sure to de-worm our puppies regularly to ensure their well-being.
​

The puppies may go to their new homes after their first vaccination at 12 weeks of age. Our puppies all stay with each other and mama until at least 12 weeks of age. 
​
They're given their first vaccine at 12 weeks of age to ensure the best coverage per statistics that show the best time to vaccinate is between 12-16 weeks of age. 

What are ENS Exercises?
ENS is done for 2 consecutive weeks starting 3 days after the puppies are born.

The process consists of 5 simple and harmless exercises, which are: 
  • tactile stimulation,
  • lying in the supine position,
  • held with head held up,
  • tilted upside down, and
  • thermal stimulation.

We've used these exercises with our puppies since 2017, and we've found that they help them adapt to changes and become more confident.

We highly recommend these exercises based on the results we've seen in our own dogs and in our friends' dogs as well.
