Blizzard On the Way...

O.k., now I know some of you may think I'm a big chicken for saying this but I'm spending the night in the new building with the dogs. Not really for my sake, but for the dog's sake. This morning when I got up to let them out, Dylan (my old male with arthritus) was shivering in the car and yelping as he re-injured one of his legs with all the exercise yesterday. I turned on the heat in the car in the car after they went to the bathroom and he warmed up and seemed to feel a little better. Another reason why I'm here is due to the fact that there may be a big blizzard on the way. It's fine for me in the tent but leaving the dogs in the car at night would be too cold.
I've been meeting some really interesting people up here. There are two girls from England- a zoologist and accupuncturist for animals. It's been very interesting talking with them and sharing ideas. Another girl is originally from South Africa. I love meeting people from around the world- it reminds me of boarding school.
Tomorrow I will begin a second phase of an experiment with the two other younger wolves- Solei & Orion. Yesterday before seeing them, I purposely put my dog's scent on me to observe their reaction. As young wolves, they were probably interested in being playful but they nipped and pulled at my clothing where I put the dogs smells. Tomorrow I will see (with a fresh pair of clothes) how they will react to only the human scent.
The dogs have still not howled but are engaged in constant play with Daisy through the fence. Goodnight from Mission: Wolf!
