I love wolves....

Okay, I have a new thing to do when people come to Colorado to visit. Sunday we went and took a tour of the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center! What a neat place. This is a private owned place where this lady has rescued several wolfs! There are also coyotes and foxes. Hubby and I paid for the VIP tour so after the regular tour, we got to go with the owner into two of the wolf pens! There are 6 pens for the wolfs, each pen is 1 acre. Then there is a one acre pen for the coyotes and a pen for the foxes. Here is their web site:

And here is one of the wolfs who looked right at me for the picture. I am not sure which one he is:



We got to give lots of love to Mika and Shunka in the first pen. Here I am getting Wolf kisses from Shunka:



And here is Hubby petting Mika:



In the second pen we got to give treats to Nikita and Princess. Here is Hubby feeding Princess (left) and Nikita (right-white one):



And me petting Nikita and Princess together!:



And here is Troubles, he has BLUE eyes!!:



It was an incredible experience! Then we came home to our more domesticated style of wolves:



Other than that, things have been pretty usual around here. I worked Friday and Saturday nights. Sunday night we had some friends over for dinner. Hubby made his Green Curry Chicken, yum. And we tried a Thai soup from a Thai cookbook we have. It turned out pretty tasty. We will tweak it next time we make it, but I really loved the broth! Mmmmmmm, tasty!

I created web pages for the pups on a great site called Dogster.com. Here is Bristol's web page with links to Petey's and Buddy's web page:

Just something fun!

Yesterday I had my eye surgery! So now, I have 20/20 vision without contacts or glasses!!! Yea! The surgery was very easy and painless! I keep telling Hubby “I can see!” I am very happy with the outcome! I have to puts lots and lots of drops in my eyes to keep them free of infection for a while, but I can live with that. In fact, it's time for me to go put drops in my eyes again!!
