aww how cute

wish i still had my 2 with me

I wish these 2 were still around too. They had to be given to other zoos after the one I worked for lost a lot of money due to the economy :/

awww now thats a shame. i had to send my 2 timber wolves to a scanturary because of the people here were i live try to kill them in fear of them.(sorry my spelling isn't the best)

jealous jealous jealous

yay cuteness

That is so cute, must have been a very gratifying experience being able to raise them.

One of the best experiences of my life

Oh god they're so cute! It's amazing that you got to see them again, too! ^^

I wish I had gotten to see them again, but this photo was from 2 years ago, and I'm not sure where they are now :/ (The zoo owner gave them to other places, which then gave them to other places, etc...)

Ack, I misunderstood. I thought this was you reunited with them. I was going to say I was surprised they still looked like pups. I guess it makes sense now.

Aww, sorry... *hug*

What matters most is that they got love at a young age, you know I recover wolves, and that they are of all of Mother's creatures, the most family oriented animal she has ever graced us with. Wolves need love and I am glad that they got it from you while they were so young. Thank you for that. My three are old now, I lost my Darwin in Dec. of '09 and will most likely lose another this winter if not two. But the memories of puppy kisses will last until Mother decides to take me home too. Cute picture, I hope that it finds you happy and well.

Your comments are so touching :) I'm so glad that you have also had the honor of having wolves in your life. And you are right, memories of puppy kisses will last forever.

I think the best memory of puppy kisses was when I recovered a wolf pup back in the late 80's, she was about 9 weeks old and had been already abused. I took care of her for about 3 months, nursed her back and the vet finally found a private zoo/reserve for her. I was not told the name of that place as thats the way the vet worked with me, I recovered and cared for and she found perm. homes for them, I was just a "dad" for a little while.

4 years later, I had the chance to visit that private reserve just by fluke and let me tell you it was the greatest feeling to get pounced on by a now very happy and sassie female wolf who pinned me to the ground and laid on top of me kissing me like crazy. It was only then that they told me who she was. Best gift a "dad" could have ever gotten. I will miss them when I no longer do this when I get too old. (happens when your a grey muzzle.)

I sometimes wish, that small animals could remain small for ever:3 Always cute, fluffy with adorable big feet and soft ears..

Soooo what do you do for a living that lets you be so completely awesome?

Well right now I'm actually job-searching X3 But I have worked at several places where I was a primary caretaker of the exotic animals, and with my biology degree to assist I hope to work in that field for the rest of my life :)

Oooo did you specialize in anything with your degree? I really superwanted to pretty much do what you've been doing... BUT it's such a small job market, you know?

I have a degree in biology with a concentration in ecology and environmental studies. The job market for that kind of job is very competitive, but there are lots of different things available, from sanctuaries and rehab centers to zoos :)

D'awwwww!!

How do you get to work with wolves like that? :D
Really nice pic.

*dies*

Awwwwwws soooooooooo lucky!

Awwwww, you're such a sweet heart, miss

This is too adorable. <3
