Wolf Mountain Sanctuary
Wendy knew that I love wolves and that it's my favorite animal, and she loves them too, so she arranged for us to go to Wolf Mountain Sanctuary to see and interact with these fantastic, amazing animals.
We
went down there on Thursday at noon, and were so excited about this
adventure. We met Stephanie who showed us around and told us about
the different wolves. For the time being they have 17 wolves and a
dog/coyote mix. The wolves are separated in different areas, and
there are only a few of them they let you interact with. After
walking around and seeing them all, we were let into one pit with 3
male wolves.
We sat down and one by one, the came and sniffed and greeted us. It was so awesome to experience this. After a little while Stephanie's mother and the runner of the sanctuary, Tonya Littlewolf, came into the pit with 2 others. At this time we were allowed to walk around and take more pictures. As one wolf jumped up this kind of box that sat in the middle of the pit, I walked close and he came over to me and kissed me. Wow.. such a wonderful thing to experience.
As
the time passed, one of the others also jumped up and they lay down
and we could cuddle with them.
After
sitting around, chatting for a while, Tonya and Stephanie took us to
interact with Istas Pejuta and one other wolf ( sadly I can't
remember it's name). Istas Pejuta means Medicine Eyes and he's a
healing wolf. It was the best experience of all, sitting there and
first be kissed by this wonderful wolf and then have him walk around
and “jump” on my back.
Anyways; he got to be my favorite of all these great creatures. I will go back and see them again and I recommend you do too... :o)

It was such an amazing experience to interact with such a noble animal and I will do it again in a heartbeat.
