Nope, but he sure is handsome!
I LOVE Oil Spot! Also I must have never looked close enough the first time but that moss colour is incredibly drool worthy! 😀

This makes me really glad that I have stopped using Ebay altogether. 🙁

I don’t believe that I was ever inclined to draw things facing in a certain direction. I was inspired by animated movies, so I was always trying to draw things in action. For ages I couldn’t draw a stationary pose. A horse just standing still? Forget it! That was a long time ago though – any drawing vices like that which I still had at the end of highschool were destroyed in university. I probably sound like a stuck record, but with art practice makes perfect. You must keep at it if you want to improve or even retain your skill. 🙂 Art’s fun, but it requires discipline! 😉

All my really old art is at our lake lot cabin. Occasionally I look through it and snigger uncontrollably; it’s theraputic. 😀

Hugs Kim, if it helps at all, it sounds like she passed peacefully and in a way that she approved of, on her own terms. 🙁 RIP sweet kitty. <3

Hmm, I might just try this one! I like how it doesn’t have margeraine in it and it looks easy. I wasn’t surprised to see nutritional yeast in the recipe, that stuff has a wonderful cheesy sort of taste. We sprinkle it on popcorn. 😀

Wow, you managed to rehome them all pretty quick it looks like! 😀 I’m a big fan of these guys too, you had a gorgeous collection. 😀 Some day I’ll commish Worms and Bones.

I think it might be pretty common for a medical TV show to mess up the facts about a condition. About a year ago I heard about a similar mistake, a show’s episode which featured asexuality and messed it up horribly. (I can’t remember which show mind you.) People in the ace community were pretty furious about that because it’s very rare that asexuality is mentioned anywhere, especially in pop culture but this mess up with FOP is definitely far worse. You can’t run into big trouble being misinformed about asexuality like you can with something like FOP. 🙁

I wish I could put a couple from each batch in my cart but alas this canadian girl has to opt out on these beauties!!! With the sad state of our canadian dollar…… Poads are not in the cards. With exchange it would be double the cost with shipping!!! Waaaa. I will just keep on looking and admiring and hoping our damn economy comes back in the next year or two.
Beautiful work one again Melody!! Your amazing.I feel you! I saw these and went “Maybe-!” saw the converted price, “-yeah no.”
You never know, maybe our economy will magically get stronger before these guys run out. (Probably a shot in the dark.)

This was a really great read and probably the best write up that I have seen on the subject. 😀 Thanks JynXx and Pam!
I’ve met tons of people who have claimed that their dogs are part wolf – then claimed that ‘oh, but he was the friendliest dog ever!’ Uh huh, yeah, wolfdogs aren’t friendly. I’m never sure if I should tell them that their dog is just a dog. It drives me absolutely nuts whenever I see Youtube videos of obvious dogs (usually huskies) claiming that they are wolves or wolfdogs. (Often they are videos of husky puppies howling.) It’s just gross! I’ve met one true wolfdog and she was with a pack of true wolves at an educational wolf sanctuary (Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre in Golden, British Columbia – her name was Aspen) and she was absolutely wolfy – mind and body. The only thing doggish about her was the ever-so-slight curve that she had to her tail sometimes. She was a gorgeous critter and I learned a lot from being with her for the short few hours that I went hiking with her, her pack mate Tuck (true wolf) and their two handlers. I did get to pet Aspen at one point but it was absolutely on HER terms – she happened to sit right beside me and the female handler told me that I could touch her. After a moment she trotted away, but we shared a nice moment. On the hike there were some very specific rules that we had to follow for safety and we had to sign a waver. Afterwards, they were put back into their enclosures which were extremely well fortified with very high fences. At one point during the hike one of the handlers threw some jerky into the air and Tuck galloped straight towards us then leapt a good six feet straight up to catch the goodies. When his teeth closed together there was a definitive clack which really wowed me and my parents because of the strength involved. I really wish that I had had a better camera! It really put into perspective exactly how powerful these animals are.
One thing that I really noticed, which one of the handlers pointed out – the movement between a wolf and a dog is completely different. This is the analogy he gave me: dogs move like clunky Model Ts – wolves move like sports cars, smooth and utterly liquid. They also tend to ‘ghost,’ sticking to cover – wolves don’t really like being seen. That’s why seeing them in the wild is so tricky and why the vast majority of people will never see one in the few places left where they are plentiful – these things are masters of stealth. You hear people talking about cats as being stealthy, but wolves are just as incredible! Their howls are also amazing – there’s nothing like it. The only comparisons that I can possibly make are South American flutes and possibly the cry of a loon. There’s an amazing timbre to their call that you just can’t hear in recordings which I think puts most dogs to shame. (Although reputably there are some very pretty husky howlers out there. I haven’t heard husky howls yet so I can’t say for myself but I have heard average joe dogs howl a bunch of times back when I was a newspaper carrier and they sound nothing like wolves. Neither do coyotes.)
Also when I was at the centre one of the other true wolves (Wiley) reared up against the fence and his paws were the size of a man’s hand. It was the best impression of an animal’s scale that I have ever gotten. (Though mind you Wiley was/is? a particularly huge wolf.)
Me (18) and Aspen (RIP.)
I definitely plan on going back someday. 😀

The story I heard on German Shepherds was that wolves were definitely used in the creation of the breed, but that anti-wolf stigma caused this fact to be erased from the official registry. Seems legit. If you look at some of the field (often police/military) bred GSDs, they look quite wolfy and have very little in common with show bred GSDs (what you usually see around.) It’s almost hard to believe that they are the same breed but they definitely are – they’re just healthier and they look the way that they do because their breeders care about purpose/health/temperament (the important stuff) not looks. RCMP GSDs are great examples. 😀
