I touched a wolf today!

Update:
Okay, that was rather vague and ubrupt of me yesterday.... I'm sorry, but I wanted to post something about the day before the lightening storm rolled in and I am glad I turned the computer off when I did becasue I heard on the radio this morning that a guy in Holliston (or Hopkinton, one of them dang "H" towns...) was electrocuted while using his computer during last nights series of ass-kicking thunderstorms. I as you know have a healthy fear of thunderstorms and have also have had a computer fried because I left it on during one.

That said, yes I touched a wolf yesterday. Her name was Denahee.
The folks from Wolftalk did a program at the library. They brought in a wolf cub and a full grown wolf and talked about wolves and such. The cub was terrfied and peed all over the place. The adult was raised to used to humans and was very playful. The couple giving the talk brought their 2 year old daughter and she had no fear of her.

I have mixed feelings about this... in my gut I fear this relationship between this "tame" wolf and this family could backfire. There are many issues with a wild animal never really being tame and the child never fully understanding what it means to fear a wild animal. But these people have a long history with these animals and who am I to tell someone how to raise their kid. I just hope it all works out for the best.

At the end of the program everyone attending the program got to pet the wolf. It was very cool and she was indeed a sweetheart. I just hope she never turns on her humans.

I took a ton of pictures adn hope to have the best ones up soon.
