As many of you know by now, WOLF PEOPLE is suing WOLF HAVEN for the safe return of one of our wolves.  This is a very long and involved case created by a series of lies and deceit.   We did not want to go to court and tried, on several occasions, to get our wolf back.  Instead, we were told that if we wanted her back, we would have to take them to court, and so this is what we have done.  The story is posted in "The Olympian", Nov. 5th, along with many comments, for those of you who may want to read about it. 
Also, please view this link, although graphic and disturbing, it shows why we are so concerned for her safety.  http://www.kirotv.com/news/41676...660/ detail.html

KIWIS'AS  (KIWI)

On September 19, Kiwi had a very large tumor removed from her throat.  It was attached to her carotid artery so turned out to be an extremely delicate operation.  It had to be removed as it was affecting her breathing and ability to swallow.  The skilled vet was able to remove it totally, but the operation took 1 hour 20 minutes.  Once the tumor was out, we cut it open and discovered a small fragment of bone had pierced her esophagus and got into the body making it necessary for the body to protect itself by building a tumor around this foreign object.  We were very thankful that it was not cancerous.   She has made a full recovery and is back to running and playing with Baci and having daily arguments with Coco Cabe.

MOHAWK AND THE MOVIES

About 3 weeks ago, Lon Gibby, the producer of our Wolf People video, contacted me about a new promotional project he is working on.  He is making a "made for TV" pilot movie called "Empty Nesters", which is about what people do once the kids leave home.  He wanted to include the wolves in it so he, his crew, and the host and co-host for the show came out to film for the day.  After meeting all the wolves at the compound, we took off for the 5-acre enclosure with Mohawk, Maiah, and Coco Cabe.  The wolves were outstanding, but the one who stole the show was Mohawk!  He is a natural and seemed to know exactly what to do when the scenes required a wolf.  Naturally, Maiah and Coco followed his lead and Lon was thrilled with the footage he was getting.  For the end of the program, the host and co-host were sitting on a large rock in the enclosure talking about what they had learned about wolves by their visit to Wolf People, how it had changed their minds about wolves, etc.  Lon whispered to me that he was really hoping the wolves would show up for this part.  Sure enough --- Mohawk came up from the rear, jumped up on the rock between Debbie and Steve, reached over to give her a kiss, then kissed Steve, and ended by standing between them looking right into the camera!!!  Lon and the rest of us could not believe our eyes and we all watched the repeat of it on Lon's camera and he captured it perfectly.  We were so proud of Mohawk and were all hugging him telling him what a great job he did, as if he didn't already know that!  We all agreed that Mohawk was ready for Hollywood!  We will keep you posted on if and when this program will air.

WELCOME TO OUR PACK, TAMAHAWK!

On September 17, we took in a beautiful little arctic wolf that needed a safe place to live.  She is from San Francisco and came from a very loving home, but her owners could no longer keep her.  She is 17 months old and in a pen right next to Hanta Yo, Legacy, and Mimi.  They accepted her right away and enjoy hanging out together.  At first she was very scared and walked with her tail tucked most of the time.  She has a lot more confidence now and enjoys mealtime as much as the rest of the wolves.  We are still trying to get a collar and leash on her so she can go down to our 5-acre playpen.  She watches the other wolves come and go and is learning our routine.  At the present time, she is a beautiful whitish gray with black tipping, golden eyes, and a real love.  She is a welcome addition to our pack.

Mike Marzio has been with Wolf People since last January 2006 and is our professional wolf handler. He also works in the store part time and enjoys his ranchhand duties as well. Mike also moved up here from CA and loves working with & caring for the wolves. You will see him with little Maiah and Hanta Yo, two of our springtime cubs.

On July 7, Crystal had a large tumor removed from her abdomen by our mobile vet. The surgery was done right in her enclosure as Casper (her mate) and some of the other members of the pack looked on. It was a noncancerous herniated tumor that had attached itself to her abdomen and was so large that it was starting to break open. Fortunately, I discovered it before it became infected or the infection would have gone into her abdomen & killed her. Crystal is 14 years old and came through the surgery like a little champ. She is doing well and we put Casper back in with her last night. All is well that ends well.

To introduce the new additions to the pack, here they are:

** Legacy -- born May 2, 2007, and the daughter of Coco Cabe and Hedge. She is named in honor of her father, Hedge, who we lost before his babies were born. She will look very similar to her father and is a beautiful light blonde and very outgoing.

** Maiah -- born May 2, 2007, and a sister to Legacy, is also half arctic and half timberwolf. She was the runt of the litter and is now the Omega of the pack but one of the sweetest wolves we have ever had. She is a beautiful grizzled sable with one golden eye and one amber colored eye, which makes her very special.

** Neshoba -- born May 2, 2007, and also a sister to Legacy & Maiah, she too is a beautiful grizzled sable with gorgeous golden eyes. She was the biggest cub of the litter and is somewhat on the shy side. She is full of kisses for all of us and even some of our visitors.

** Hanta Yo -- born May 2, 2007, is a pure tundra wolf that we got from breeders in Montana at 12 days of age. He is a handsome black wolf with grizzled gray running thru his coat and really big. He has awesome green eyes and a very sweet personality. He and Legacy are definitely an item.

** Enapay -- born April 29, 2007, is also a pure tundra wolf from Montana but not related to Hanto Yo. He is a handsome grizzled gray wolf with golden/brown eyes. He takes the prize for being the biggest of the cubs and just as sweet as can be after one major challenge with Mike. Mike won, of course, and now he is Enapay's alpha. Enapay now is with Neshoba and they are inseparable!

We invite you to stop by to meet our new, exceptional staff, see our new additions to the pack, and enjoy all the new products we have in our store. Hope to see you soon!
