I have real hope for wolves in my Michigan, but there are a ton of hunters here (including my father) who scream and yell when anyone even hints at infringing on their right to Kill Animals. (A proposition was resoundingly defeated last November to ban the hunting of doves. Yay!) If the wolves start attacking livestock in large numbers, I fear for what might happen.

I'm sorry about all the trials with your Mum's health. How is she feeling? And how are you feeling?

Can't wait to hear about your reading. You will share, yes?

Oh. And that picture? You really should put a warning right at the top of the post when you include pictures that have near leathal levels of cuteness. I nearly "awww'd" myself to death.
