Happy birthday Dianne. Thank you for all the opportunities that you're giving me |
Thank you for the happy birthday. You deserve the chance to be published, you are an artist and not just a writer. I see a lot of me in you. I am not a perfect poet but I have talent, or so my college and university professors and many readers and writers have told me, but I get so caught up in the artistic part of the process that I can not see the problems in my work until they are pointed out to me. One of my greatest joys as an artist is when someone cares enough about this art and me to point out my mistakes so I can see and fix. Your work is a true work of art but there are some mistakes that need to be corrected before publication. I have had some people disagree with me but my teachers and mentors have told me not to get caught up in proper form and spelling or punctuation while I am writing because it disrupts the creative process. After the piece is finished then you can worry about editing it to fit the rules then get some knowledgeable people to look it over and point out the problems. Ergo, my subscription to this fine website. I could be mistaken but I think this describes you pretty much as well but either way, you are an artist and it would be a true shame if you left this earth without first sharing your art with the world. I am proud to know you. |
The wolf is a majestic animal that gets a bad rep. due to ignorance and fear. Austrian researchers discovered that wolves will even howl in distress after they lose their mate, or even when a pack member leaves or dies because they have strong bonds with their pack members. This may show that they can suffer from separation anxiety just as humans can and they use howling as a way of mourning or showing compassion for their lost ones. I think this definitely disproves the stereotype that wolves are vicious and ruthless creatures http://heart-of-the-wilderness.blogspot.com/2013/11/wolf-howling-what-does-it-re... |
It is a stereotype, but if one is to have one as a pet, they require a different teaching than a dog. More so than dogs, they need to understand who is the leader of the pack. |
I would love to have my own wolf but I love animals, especially wolves too much to be so cruel to them. I know I wouldn't want someone removing me from my home and transplanting me to a restricted life that is so foreign that I couldn't grasp the rules. Not only that but you can never get the 'wild' out of a wolf. You may keep one for years and learn to feel safe around it but it can kill you or someone else without ever feeling any guilt or have the knowledge that he did something wrong. If a person were to find a wolf puppy and think it needs saving and takes it home, they better make sure their state allows the ownership of a wolf first because a lot of states have it outlawed. Secondly, they need to spend a ton of money on secure fencing. Personally, I don't think anyone other than professional wolf handlers should have them. |
I had a friend that got a wolf as a pup, but it was a rescue. Actually, her issue was the wolf needed metal fencing so that it could see out. Then of course, you should never chain a wolf up. Well, you should never chain any animal up, but especially a wolf. He was protective, so people had to allow him to smell them before they were allowed in the home. If he smelled you and he didn't welcome you, there was no going in that home. |
