Wolves!

[ANHEDONIC]

I don't know what is is about them but I love looking at them! I have these framed posters hanging up in my apartment:









I love pictures where the wolf/wolves are looking at the photographer, gives you a sense they're looking right into your eyes... I have a wolf photograph hanging above the toilet in the bathroom... gives you something to look at while you're wizzin' =]

some other cool pics:



(eventually want to get a tattoo artist to draw this image on my upper arm in grey, with the iris of the eyes colored yellow)

oooooh! have you seen the wolf? what's their demeanor like with people? i'd assume they'd act much like a dog would? does your friend have any pics of the wolf on the internet? details please =]

[rogvalcox]

Yes...I've played with it myself!!!! It was kind of like a dog body...with a cat mentality!!!! But once you got it to play with you it was fun!!! He wasn't mean at all and obeyed somewhat (keep in mind the cat mentality) but the only thing I didn't like was the fact that their fur is very coarse...or altleast this one was!!

And no...unfortunately I have no pictures to show you.

I saw a special on the DSC channel some time ago about a husband and wife couple who tracked wolves... This one particular pack, they had raised some of the wolf pups themselves... And they would travel and track this pack from time to time... It was amazing. This guy would literally howl/call to the wolves at night and they would respond to him. At one point, he met up with them and the wolves embraced him like dogs embrace their owners. He sat on the ground as the wolves came up and licked his face. They were totally aware of who he was and were clearly affectionate with him.

...and that took place on the full moon nights?

When my daughter is older, I'm going to move towards the north and buy wolf mix. They're legal as long as they're a certain percentage of dog. Pick one very young and raise it like family. But not until I live far away from the city and everyone in it.

One of our dogs is part wolf. Rest is german shepherd. He looks that 3rd picture down, only not as dark. He has more white.
I tried to scan in a picture of him, but my scanner isn't working right now. If I get it to scan, I will post it.

The wolf I played with was VERY much like a german shepard, but it seems as though a wolves head is more roundish with the snout sticking out...whereas a dogs head/snout is more elongated (word of the day!!)!!

Wolves are the bomb! There is no other creature in this world that commands so much respect and admiration. I have wolf pics as well and I rather enjoy just gazing at them.

Hi gal... you could use teh Manage Attachments button after you start a new post to upload the picture, or, if you want to use those tags you'll have to have it hosted somewhere... I recommend www.photobucket.com , free, no popups, and very easy to use.... can't wait to see the pic...


and Liberal funny that u should use the word gaze, Wolfgaze is my Ebay handle, i love their gaze as well =]

[liberalghost]

@ Anhedonic

Their gaze makes me want to simply bow to them. I think that they are just absolutely wonderous. Even the females have the "Alpha :D Male" attitude and look. Majestic!

By the way, I have one of the pics you posted inside my locker at work.

I have also looked for a pattern for some ink but so far cannot find one that gives the animal justice.

[ANHEDONIC]

glad to know someone appreciates these beautiful animals as much as i do

[laurieB]

if you would like more pics, i can hook you up with my friends email. he has loads of photos and apreciates the interest. aloha

@ LaurieB

: Hook us up! If he is willing.
