Things would get interestin' in my house though when I had a female wolf and she heard them. She slept with me and she'd hear the coyotes far off when I was asleep and suddenly, I would be immediately awakened by her responding voice! Loud! No alarm clock could compare!

I haven't heard them yet, but people down the road a few miles have reported hearing wolves howl. Two have been shot in the area recently--didn't have many reports of them before this, they seem to be multiplying since some were set loose a number of years ago.

BTW, how'd you get the female wolf? I had a teacher in high school who had a male one with the permission of the DNR, which I think he said he'd rescued from a trap and nursed back to health or something like that. He said it acted friendly with him but wild towards anyone else.

I've had 2 wolves. A long time ago - a male and then the female. I bred 'em... they were hybrids actually. The male I had was 3/4 wolf, 1/4 shepherd. The female was 7/8 wolf 1/8 shepherd. I got the first from a friend who thought I needed protection because 2 murdered bodies were found in my neighborhood in Austin within 3 weeks. The female I was given to me by a couple who didn't know what she was when they got her and were in terrible fear of her when they discovered she was wolf.

Mine were well behaved - but because they got an incredible amount of attention and thought they were "one of us." Nothing would have *ever* happened to either of my kids while I had them. And it would have been interesting to see someone who'd tried anything. But, they are very territorial and know who "their" pack is. Outsiders are not easily welcomed. It was interesting to date when I had wolves. They didn't typically like anyone coming to pick me up! :-)
