Oh yes!! I don't think there's a wolf book out there that I haven't read. I *love* them & have since I was a little girl & people still thought they were bad & nobody liked them.
One of the funniest parts of that book to me was the part where Farley first arrived in the tundra & when he thought wolves were coming upon him, he hid under the canoe, only to hear a long string of cursing. I forget how he described it exactly, but it was so funny as it was sled dogs & the owner was cursing a blue streak. I was very disappointed in the movie as it wasn't like the book at all. Hope you've read Owls In The Family - even if it's more a children's book.
I've got to be around real wolves a few times too. Big, tame, sucky-babies wolves too. One of them would make little funny yowling sounds when I scratched him under his chin. Another time, I got to hold & cuddle a pup. His sister was much braver, he was a little coward. My hair was very long then & he'd burrow into my hair to hide from everyone. When someone tried to take a good look at him, he piddled all over me. I didn't mind the least. :-D
I don't mind giving ego-stroking to my family & those I love. As long as I get thanks from them & some comforting back when I need it, I'll give till the cows come home. I had never realised it before but I have a very nursing/nuturing type of personality, but would hate to be a nurse. I really do credit my Mom for making me like this, but I also think it's a inherited thing. She was a shunned, scorned, abused child - a runt who no one thought would amount to much & I'm still baffled over how she could give so much love when she received so little.
