Ever wonder how sugar gliders and flying squirrels fly?� You know they don't have wings, but how exactly do they fly from tree to tree?

They have extra skin, or a membrane,�attaching their front and rear legs called patagium.���This membrane�enables them to create a parachute�effect to catch a breeze and soar.�

They are unable to just jump off the ground and fly, but can glide quite a distance between trees when they jump off a high branch.� Southern flying squirrels can glide up to 150 feet!

It's so sad to see a litter of wolfdog puppies die one by one from Distemper.�

This is just�a reminder to anyone who owns, breeds, wants to own or breed, or knows someone who owns or breeds wolfdogs to vaccinate their wolfdogs.

Most veterinarians will see�wolfdogs and have no problems with vaccinating them like other canines.� So if you think there is no need to prevent Distemper in wolfdogs because they can't get it, please know they can, and do.
