This is Ben (the Wolf).

Isn't he cute? Isn't he adorable? Ya right.
As Forrest Gump would say, " Isn't he just a big pain in the but-tocks"?
Sometimes I would like to ring his neck, and feed him to the pack. I sound mean don't I? Well, Ben (the wolf) is about a half a bubble out of plumb. He acts like a child, eats like a hog, but believe me, he is definitely one hundred percent wolf. The bad part about it, he is not even mine. No, he belongs to another strange one, Riley (the dog). That's right Riley (the dog) brought him in, one fall afternoon, about two years ago. He was half dead and fell a hundred yards from the shop. Remember, I build log furniture. I know , shameless plug, that. Anyway, Riley (the dog) finally
convinced me to follow him. What a sight he was, Ben (the wolf). Blood, from his whiskers to where the sun don't shine. No, not from feeding or fighting, someone, the (#*!*^!!^*()_&*), shot him just in front of his rear legs. Well I have to tell you, I'm not cold hearted by nature, but come on now. This half crazed wild wolf, was not exhibiting what I call a sociably acceptable behavior. But I needed to do something before Riley (the dog ) suffered a sever case of apoplexy, I don't know what that is, but he was getting it. So, one very large piece of canvass thrown over him and I was ready to head to the vet, right? Wrong. Don't laugh at me, that mangy animal tried to severely and permanently, relieve me of ALL appendages. If he wouldn't have been near dead I would never have stood a chance locking him up in a storage building.
So, I pick him up from the vet four days later, before the DNR could take over, and cage in hand we merrily go on our way...What? You thought that was it? Oh NO! Two weeks of harboring a fugitive, ( It's against the law to keep a wild animal without a license ), I let him go. Bye bye wolfy. Two days later he's laying outside the shop door with Riley (the dog). Now he has become part of the family, but I still haven't forgiven him for trying to relieve me of precious parts of my anatomy.
I have a lot of stories of Riley (the dog) and Ben (the wolf), if you would like more. Drop me an Email

Catch ya later,
