Life With Silkens

Having the chance to breed a beloved animal, experiencing the joys and sorrows, is a blessing I have dreamed of my whole life.  Once I found the Silkens I knew it was the start. This dream has come true and treasured friendships have been forged with the wonderful group of people that Silkens have attracted.  Most importantly, these beautiful souls are now in my life; forming a bonded, loving family that finds joy together from the moment our eyes open.  I look forward to more litters and sharing this love with others. 

First hearing of the Silken Windhound was the beginning of a self fulfilling prophecy that has carried me forward on a whirlwind to where I am now.   For months I researched, made calls and asked questions.  I finally decided to take the plunge and made arrangements to go to Silkenfest, a yearly specialty for Silken Windhounds.  Ah!  Kristull Ranch!  Francie Stull, the geneticist who developed this still rare breed, picked me up at the airport and I had 2 precious days before anyone else came to fall in love with Francie, Kristull Ranch and the dogs.  What a wonderful trip!  I met the people I had spoken to and the dogs I had heard about.  Most importantly, in the midst of all the commotion, I found my little Esperanza, my 1st Silken, and met my beloved Riata.  Since then Kristull Paloma has come to grace my home and my Iridessa was born. 

All my girls join me as I work with others in healing and therapy.  Each person tends to be picked by a dog and that animal stays with them throughout the sessions…through the tears and laughter they are present for that person.  The healing capacity of these animals truly amazes all who witness this, especially me.  More is written about this on my Nightly Healing website.  Please check it out.
