It is Time...

Just as the fateful words were spoken at the close of The Lion King, we at Wolf Hollow, Ipswich know that, “It is time.” It is time for our five young pups to venture from the small stature of the holding pen, to the wide expanse of the main enclosure to join their parents Weeble and Nina at last, and from now on. As acting surrogates parents for the past two and a half months, those [humans] at Wolf Hollow know this is a huge step, and an awesome one at that. Weeble and Nina will officially take over as the primary source of parenting, discipline, and security for the pups within the main enclosure.

The pups are due to embark on their journey into the main enclosure this coming Sunday, the 17th, after closing. As far as I know, due to the initial stress this event may cause on the pups/Weeble and Nina, this event will not be available to be viewed by the public, however, there are many volunteers (inluding me!) who are anxious to document this experience to share with everyone so fear not! This means that for those that wish to see the puppies up close and personal before two fences are in between you and them, come and see them this Saturday and Sunday! We look forward to seeing you during this marvelous weather!

As this special day comes closer and closer for the puppies, I found myself both lucky and honored to have been part of their journey from beginning in Indiana (thanks to those Chester faculty who allowed me to go of course!) to now. I have taken so many photographs already, and will continue to do so. There will, unfortunately, be no photos this week as I have been working on a side project relating to the photos. For those who saw my senior project and attended, you saw the photographic mosaics of Weeble, Nina, Osa and Bear. Well, this is my official note to the public that I am beginning to plan/compose mosaics for each pup, however, I have a lot of photographing to do until I can start forging initial “mosaics sketches.”

You may also be wondering, “Hey Jess, what is with the long absence?” Along with photographing the puppies, I have been writing a specific amount of pages everyday on another piece of writing, so far I have over two-hundred so I've been a little preoccupied. So while some of you may have been beach hopping, I've been writing and photographing, so I think that's even, right?

I will definitely have a new post up after this weekend, with more text and some images, that I promise you!

Until next time,
Jess
