Letting me know he is with me still. This memory popped up on my page. I remember this so well....I wanted a picture of Zeus sitting nicely on the foot tub. Of course, he had other thoughts about me getting a nice picture. Every time I aimed the camera at he moved slightly. Just enough to mess up the shor. I tried and tried for maybe five minutes. By this point wringing his neck is close to happening. He must have known because he Finally sat still. Relief flooded me. I aimed the camera towards him....he sat still. I Couldn't Believe It!! As I pressed the button to Finally take the picture.....that perverse dog Yawned!!! Opened his mouth yawing while I took the picture. I about died on the spot I was so aggravated!!! Then when looked at the picture it turned out to be a really cool shor. I miss his perverse, jaunty self more than words can say..
Run free my Beloved Friend....I'll see you at the Bridge!! I love you so much!!! Linda..

The Wolf Sanctuary and seeing the Humpback whale in the wild was the two most incredible things I experienced in Salem, MA!!! Seeing the wolves up close and personal, despite two fences separating us, was amazing!!!! Wolves!!! Right in front of me!!!! Our guide emphasized repeatedly, these wolves were not tame wolves. They were wolves socialized with them. It took a lot of time, effort, and trust for a volunteer to be able to go into the enclosure with the wolves. She explained how these wolves were imprinted. At birth the cub is taken from the mom and hand raised by a human. The cub imprints on the human seeing the human as the source of everything good. When the wolf is old enough, it is put back in with the pack. Another thing our guide emphasized was the wolves are not dogs. They don't think like dogs or act like dogs. Although, our dogs think in the pack mentality like wolves. Just because she was rubbing the wolf's belly did not mean it was being dog like. The wolf she told the group, initiated the belly rub. When the wolf was tired of the belly rub, it would move away. The wolves always initiated any attention from the humans. At no time did the human try petting the wolf. A couple of wolves had a conflict over something during the program...Seeing the wolves work it out was wonderful. I saw the body language of the submissive wolf...laid back ears, submissive posture. The dominant wolf giving The Look to the other wolf. The Look being the hard, I am in charge look. Our guide told us; they usually allow the wolves to work the conflict out for themselves. However, there have been a couple of times they stepped in. That being when the conflict went too long or kept happening. The wolves are kept in an enclosure as close as possible to their natural world. They have shelter and places burrows can be dug. The sanctuary has five, I believe, wolves in the enclosure we saw. The mission of the sanctuary is education. They do an awesome job of educating. Our guide talked about the myths surrounding wolves and explained how the myths are fake. She gave the group facts. Seeing the wolves was unbelievable!! I was so thankful for getting to go!!! Education, I truly believe is how a difference is made in saving wildlife. A long time ago, I volunteered with World Bird Sanctuary doing Raptor Education Programs at Grassmere Wildlife Park, where the zoo is now. Handling the raptors in the program was incredible!!! Eurasian Eagle Owls, Golden Eagles, Harris Hawks, Step-Buzzards, so many others!!! The best time of my life!!! While the speaker was talking telling the audience all the good these raptors did for the environment, I would carry one of these raptors down the steps past the audience onto the stage giving them a personal experience with that raptor. Sometime their opinions would change. Kids especially are open to seeing the animal in a good light. Doing the educational programs, I felt like I was making a difference in helping wildlife. Education is definitely the key. The Wolf Sanctuary did a fabulous job educating the audience about wolves and how important they are to the environment and humans. Sending all my beautiful friends a glorious day!!! Love, Linda.

Titan is doing well, for the most part. I think his blindness makes life a bit more challenging for him. The other day I let him loose inside the house while the other dogs were outside. He kept getting himself blocked in corners. The water bowl gets missed at times. Going out to the backyard he hesitates more now before stepping down a small step into the backyard. During the day he seems to do better. As for as hearing, I am unsure there. He hears me clap but anything else, the jury is out. The other day, he was across the backyard. I needed him to come inside so I loudly clapped my hands. He looked up, dead at me, paused a moment debating, and went to back to sniffing the grass. He still has quality of life even though he can't see. I am so excited about comfortable days, temperature wise!!! I plan on spending time outside with him. Most afternoons when I get home from subbing, I take him into the front yard giving him a different place to sniff. He wants to potty where I don't want him to. We will walk around the designated area for fifteen/twenty minutes. I will decide he doesn't need to go. We start back to the house. As soon as, we get where I don't want him to potty...he goes. Every single time. What can you do but laugh....so typical of his breed. He comes very close to being as perverse as Zeus. Willow, my youngest granddaughter, loves Titan. She really enjoys going into the backyard with us playing. She plays, Titan sniffs. Stormy and Skye still try being friends with him. Sneaking up behind him sniffing. Next month Titan turns fourteen. I plan on giving him something special that day. Unsure what, but any dog that makes that age needs celebrating. Medically, as far as I know, he is doing well. Most evenings, I set aside time to spend in his room with him. Now when I sit on something in his room, he gets under my legs. That way, he knows where I am. Walking through the yard he presses against my leg for the same reason. He is getting better, relatively speaking, at the vet. Now, it is only every few visits he actively tries biting. The techs that are familiar with him are good at knowing. The new tech was a bit unsure. Our last visit he tossed his head, and they both jumped. Both of my bull terriers misbehave at the vet. Stormy was spread eagle on floor in the lobby refusing to walk. I love it!!! Titan is an incredible companion bringing color to my life. Hope all my wonderful friends are enjoying this gorgeous day!!! Love, Linda.
