IDAHO FALLS, Idaho -- A southeastern Idaho ranch lost 176 sheep as the animals ran in fear from two wolves that chased through a herd of about 2,400 animals south of Victor....

Thanks, guys.

I try to incorporate a breed’s general disposition...and IGs always seem “freaked to be here!”.

LOL

[Ditter]

IG? Is that the mini Greyhound you are talking about or all of them?

[Salamander]

Italian Greyhounds.

To me, they always look astonished to be wherever they are.

It’s probably their huge eyes...:)

[Ditter]

Yes Italian, I forgot. They look between astonished and horrified in every picture I have ever seen. The guy who wanted me to paint his dog gave me awful photos and I finally gave up on that project. He fosters IG’s so I hated not to do it. That is why I like to paint labs, they are always smiling.

I sent you an email with Eakers dog painting on it.

Ping!

Add a llama to your mix and it will help quite a lot.

“They look between astonished and horrified in every picture I have ever seen.”

LOLOL!

Hence, “freaked to be here!”

;D

Eaker’s painting was wonderful.

It made me feel warm and sleepy.

I think I’ll curl up and take a nap, too.

:)

Do you think the IG foster might want me to have a look at his photos?

[Eaker]

Here you go and thanks for sending it to me!

You two have me giving this some serious thought. Thanks for the suggestions. From what I have read on the net, llama seem to be good babysitters for the goats.

[Ditter]

Absolutely “freaked to be here” and “who are you and what do you want?”

The IG foster guy used to work at a drug store where I shopped, that store closed up and I have lost touch with him. The only pictures I have are not good and I don't have a scanner anyway. If he calls me or drops by, I'll ask for some new pictures, maybe a profile would be easier. LOL!

That picture of Eakers dogs has been in my den for 2 years since I painted it. I told Tom and Donna I was keeping it and I sent them a 4/6” picture. But as you probably know, my walls are covered with paintings and some things need to find a new home.

That’s what I was told by a county official who is fighting to keep our county out of the wolf recovery program. But you know government, they could make breathing cost billions.

Wonderful work! What a sweet adorable portrait! Love it1

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Awwww.. So sweet! You guys are inspiring me to pick-up the pastels again!

[Eaker]

I painted our dog Foster once.

The wife made me give him a bath afterwards.

Even though it was latex it was really tough getting that ‘lil feller clean.

I am a County Supervisor in Mohave County, AZ. The Feds reintroduced the Mexican Gray Wolf in Eastern AZ. They wanted to do it in our neck of the woods, but retreated because our land is not conducive to wolves. HOWEVER, they want to take over the management of a large portion of our County for "management" which is what this is all about. If you don't know, go to wildlandproject.org and see what the government is up to and how it is ultimately going to effect everyone.

However, we freedom loving Arizonans are not going to take this lying down. This is going to be a war. This government will lie and cheat and steal to get what they want and I am up for the fight

If anyone out there has first hand accounts of the ravage caused by these wolves in Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho, Montana, etc. Please write me a first hand testimony. We are having a townhall on Monday with US fish and game and AZ fish and wildlife and people have got to hear and wake up as to what this government is doing.

When I ran for this office I had no idea how much of my job would be fighting the Federal Government. We have allowed this government to step all over us. Nothing short of a citizen's uprising is going to work. Please help me. Thank you.

Here are old posts about wolves attacking sheep in Oregon and a prize horse, cattle and elk in Montana. Maybe some of the Freepers who responded can help you out.
