I took care of a 5yo Malamute bitch for two and half weeks beginning just before Christmas last year. Her name was Zoe, and she was very gentle, inquisitive and playful. She had a very interesting habit however. Whenever a police or ambulance siren could be heard in the distance, which is not very often here, she would howl up at the sky in a haunting, long tone. I could just imagine her on the ice in the Arctic circle somewhere howling at the moon in another incarnation. She would howl way before the noise was audible as well, very sensitive and smart creature that she is.
That was beautiful. I could picture her from the way you wrote that. Harm howls like that, too, sometimes.
So buddy set a bunch of snares around this kill; went back like 3 days later and had 4 wolves frozen solid in snares. I have never seen that many wolves caught that close together. Once the first one was caught, the rest must have just ran in all directions to get out of there away from danger and into the other snares, ha. When a animal gets in a snare, they fight it and go crazy, which keeps that lock getting tighter; quickly suffocate; then they freeze solid. Buddy posed all these wolves in a pile like they were playing. Call me crazy, but it was one of the best wolf picts I have ever seen.
How do you post picts on here anyway?
