Fairwell Chickensmoothie! It was a good run.
If there is anyone who I unfortunately left any loose ends open with when I originally disappeared from the site near the end of 2012, you're welcome to drop a PM if you'd like to try to resolve them. It has admittedly been far too many years for me to remember precisely what all may have been left unsettled.
In addition, if anyone sees this and would like to try to reestablish contact, you're more than welcome to drop me a message as well. I'll try to poke my head in over the next few months at the least in case any of the above happens, but cannot guarantee how often messages will be checked after that.
Best Regards,

Their form of love is different from ours, so, I guess you are right. They aren't gentle, not in human terms, anyway.They can't make muffins or chocolate chip cookies, or give you a band-aid when you get scraped. They don't help you build a tree house or sew quilts for you. For humans, that's what we associate with being kind. But for wolves, they simply do what they can to survive. Even the puppies' play is, or so I read, a way for them to build upon the vital skills they will need in real life. The parents feed the pups because they have to.
Also another thing I've heard is that wolf parents kill pups if the pups are "defective" or seem to be weak. This is natural- those pups probably won't last very long, anyway, and the wolf parents are simply destroying the puppy's blood so that it can't have more defective babies. Domesticated dogs sometimes do this. And it's not just wolves- lots of other species do this as well. It's common sense.
But somehow humans found something attractive about the defective wolves, and that's why we have dogs with super-short legs, curly fur, and floppy ears- we like those sort of things, and that's alright, but, really, how long do you think your Chihuahua will survive out in the forest by itself?
I watched on a documentary that people actually took the wolves with floppy ears and bred them for that characteristic, then started breeding them for more wolf-like ears because they liked that as well.
I feel like I'm getting farther off topic as I go on...
