She was the resident puppy Nanny  and she took her role very seriously. She loved helping to raise the whippet pups here and teaching them the ropes! Those who knew her love her. She was an amazing girl who wrapped her little furry paws around my very soul. She was also a very keen little lass, living up to her heritage of being a vermin dog, she treed more than her share of squirrels and also gave the lure a run for its money on the track (for fun, that was before the non sighthound coursing events). She made sure every day was filled with fun and love. Unfortunately I lost her at 9 1\/2 years of age due to CRF and her passing broke many hearts. Not a day goes by that I don&#8217;t miss this genuinely angelic soul.&nbsp; Photos on white background by <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"d Beisinger photo (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/dbeisinger.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">d Beisinger<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"685\" src=\"https:\/\/1stchoice.us\/saesi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/lycan-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-685\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" data-id=\"687\" src=\"https:\/\/1stchoice.us\/saesi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/lycan_head.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/1stchoice.us\/saesi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/lycan_head.jpg 720w, https:\/\/1stchoice.us\/saesi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/lycan_head-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 85vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"345\" height=\"360\" data-id=\"748\" src=\"https:\/\/1stchoice.us\/saesi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/lycan_CHAMPION_lowres.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/1stchoice.us\/saesi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/lycan_CHAMPION_lowres.jpg 345w, https:\/\/1stchoice.us\/saesi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/lycan_CHAMPION_lowres-288x300.jpg 288w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 85vw, 345px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1650\" data-id=\"776\" src=\"https:\/\/1stchoice.us\/saesi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/lycan_18mths-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/1stchoice.us\/saesi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/lycan_18mths-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/1stchoice.us\/saesi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/lycan_18mths-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/1stchoice.us\/saesi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/lycan_18mths-1024x660.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/1stchoice.us\/saesi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/lycan_18mths-768x495.jpg 768w, https:\/\/1stchoice.us\/saesi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/lycan_18mths-1536x990.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/1stchoice.us\/saesi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/lycan_18mths-2048x1320.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/1stchoice.us\/saesi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/lycan_18mths-1200x773.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">UCh Shojin Bluemoon Howling at SaeSi &#8220;Lycan&#8221; (US CH, DC Terrena&#8217;s And the Crowd Goes Wild, ARX, FCh, SC, LCM, MC, LCX, NAP, NJP, OAJ, OA, LCM2 ex Shamasan How Blue Can You Get At Shojin, CGC, TKN).
