1. Kisses Anyone?

:kick:

[BamaLefty]

3. Uh oh

Shit, that was a damn sheep! Oops! Here are some wolves...

[LWolf]

8. I live with a long-haired white german shepherd

that is virtually indistinguishable from a white wolf. In fact, a family member saw a picture I have at work of an old white wolf my class "adopted" several years ago; he was in a rescue facility and we raised funds to care for him that year; I got a certificate and a photo. When my mom stopped by last week, she saw the picture of the wolf and thought it was the dog. I don't have a pic of the dog to post, or a copy of the framed wolf on the wall at work, but here's a couple I like to take their place!

[antigone382]

10. aww. our long-haired white German shephard passed away in Feb.

She was one of the best dogs we ever owned, and she did indeed look like a wolf.

Rest in peace, Sheba

[LWolf]

18. I believe you.

My wonderful friend is my foster-dog; he's been here about 6 months, and may be with me for the duration. He's about 13, stiff, and arthritic, but as sweet-natured and gentlemanly as they come. He's good company for my young dog, (18 month aussie), even though he can't play with her.

[antigone382]

20. Yeah, Sheps are the best.

It's like they just intuitively know what they're supposed to do...they're obedient, protective, intelligent. Before Sheba we had one named Shadow that was 32% wolf. She was definitely at the top of my list of favorite pets as well.

2. More pics

Think of all the wolf packs that have been exterminated under the Bush Administration. Now he's using them to scare people.

[JimmyJazz]

4. AAAAAAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhh - run for your lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[antigone382]

5. awwww

Here's another:

[antigone382]

7. More evil murderous creatures of darkness

[JimmyJazz]

9. OMG - I'm going to vote for Bush to save myself from

these hideous creatures!!!!

[antigone382]

15. Yes, we must all vote for Bush before the wolves take over!!!

They will encroach upon our habitat, destroying our way of life and killing us all in mass numbers...

...oh, wait, that's what we did to them.

[JimmyJazz]

21. Oh hush - you know you love the fuzzy faced ones!

[antigone382]

27. OK, I like real wolves

But werewolves are scary



see?

[Bluebear]

6. Aroooooooooooooooo

[JimmyJazz]

11. the werewolves of London....

sorry - couldn't help it.

[antigone382]

14. Well, I forgive you...

...but this guy looks kinda pissed about it.

[antigone382]

12. Oh, P.S. everybody...I just learned how to paste photos...

Can ya tell?

[ironflange]

13. Sorry, the wolf ain't so good looking, but. . .

[antigone382]

16. LMAO

She apparently thinks differently.

[ironflange]

17. Zoot suit and everything

Ever seen that cartoon, "Red Hot Riding Hood?" Tex Avery at his unbridled best.

[antigone382]

19. I think so

I grew up watching the reruns of the stuff my parents grew up on...that and Rocko's Modern Life.

[Zomby Woof]

22. as long as people...

Don't start mistakenly referring to me as ZombyWolf like they did in the early days of DU, lol.

I love wolves, and coyotes too. Hell, I love all kinds of noble creatures. :-)

Not big on our own species most days...

[antigone382]

23. Hear hear

Humans are the worst thing to ever happen to the planet

Thanks for the insights, Zombywolf!

(Sorry, couldn't resist :))

[Zomby Woof]

24. lucky for you

That I love your sneaky sense of humor. ;-)

[antigone382]

26. Yes, I suppose so

:evilgrin:

So are you still in your cryogenic containment thingy? I wasn't able to follow the developments of that situation very closely.

[Zomby Woof]

28. I am taking a break from it

Because it is 22 tonight where I live, and it saves electricity just using natural freezing to get me through to Election Day in one frazzled, frozen mess. :D

[antigone382]

29. Wow, that sounds like fun

Sounds like the perfect climate for wolves...look out!

[Zomby Woof]

30. The Colorado Plateau

Is wild, wild country! I toughened up for it by hanging out in GD2004 way too much. :evilgrin:

[antigone382]

31. LOL, I'll be somewhere around there next year, I hope

I'm just dying to transfer to Colorado State University (they have a really good equine sciences program).

[Zomby Woof]

32. I am further south

South of the Grand Canyon, the very southern edge of the plateau, lol... but since Colorado is one of the '4 corner' states, we'll be neighbors! :hi:

(and if you go, good luck! That would be great if you do that!)

[antigone382]

33. It would be fun

But I've gotta hit the hay.

So, from one plateau dweller to another, g'night!

On edit: good luck with the freezing weather! Stay warm, or stay frozen, or whichever you'd prefer.

25. Killer wolves

[Lorien]

34. Well, she's mostly Timber Wolf

with a little Malamute. Her name is Nakoma, and she's the neighborhood wolfdog (legal pets in many states, believe it or not). She's the most well behaved pet at the dog park!


She was really turned on by this golden retriever (that's why her hair is standing on end, lol!)

[antigone382]

35. Wow, she's gorgeous!

My family used to own a shephard/timberwolf hybrid. She was a great dog, and really beautiful too.

[Lorien]

36. Yeah, her owner takes great care of her

he cooks her meals every day (free range beef, venison, garlic and vegetables). She has the softest, cleanest fur. She's really obedient,too. Just a wonderful pet!

My dad had a shephard/ Timber wolf mix growing up as well. He just adored that animal.
BTW, they're no longer called hybrids; DNA studies have proven that wolves are just another breed of dog. (The founding breed, of course). Thus the newer term "wolfdog".:-)

37. what a beaut
