First of all Happy mother day. May 11/2008
Saturday was a another beautiful day at the Shy Wolf Sanctuary. Early at the morning start to clean some dens the first one the coyotes Willy and Samatha, brushed them and talk to them and keep them company. I have the privilege to see Nancy and Kathy give a shower to the wolfdog Nakipa. She was very beautiful after a wash,dry and brush to remove old hair, minute they all finish she went to dig a hole and lay down and sleep on the ground. I clean the den of Bear and Nakipa two wolf dogs, changing drinking water. I love to do cleaning to the den of Tien and Indy two wolves, Indy is a shy wolf but Tien is very friendly with all peoples and give me some opportunity taking pictures I sit down with them and Tien start to approch me and kiss me this is a thrill of the lifetime is he very social wolf. The thrill of the day was to be for the first time be inside the enclosure with the panther ``CHINGWA``. Ken the owner bring us Kathy volunteer and me we were little nervous but not scare we have instructions do not touch her just let her doing things she want like come close to us smell us. I took some pictures but the pictures they were not to good her position on the top of the plaform close to the top was not the best shots, we were only 10 to 15 feet of Chingwa the panther incredible experience. At the end of the day I went to sit down close to the enclosure of YUKI the 11 months wolf pup talk to him and touch him and try to know him more. I came back home with all kind of experience thanks god what a day.
Wolves are usually thought to be dangerous. This is a misconception in most cases, since wolves do not attack humans without reason. They are thought to be dangerous because of rumors claiming they get into people's livestock, killing sheep, cows, and any person they might run into. This idea is also fostered through myths. Wolves attack only when they feel their territory or young are being threatened. When they feel the need to attack whatever is threatening them, they will without hesitation. Percentiles for attacking or killing humans are low. Some wolves are endangered because they are shot and killed for their fur, or because people fear them. Humans kill more wolves every year than wolves attack humans. In fact, wolves try to isolate themselves from humans as much as possible. However, a wolf can get rabies and become more likely to attack someone, but that is a very rare occurrence. Humans are now beginning to breed wolves with other dogs, which is called a hybrid dog. A hybrid dog is supposedly better than an ordinary dog ,such as a retriever, because of innate senses found in wolves.
