I don't mind not getting to see the mission's end, we have a farm to run, a community to care for, children to raise, and art to create.
This was at the Carver County Fair in Waconia, Minnesota about a week ago.
They always have a cool traveling animal attraction every year, and this time it was Wolves of The World, which has several wolves that are used to educate people about their species, and perform some simple tricks as well.
When the presentation was over, you had the opportunity to hand over $5, and go into the pen with Phoenix, the “outcast” of this pack.
He was a beautiful, sweet, magnificent creature, with wild and knowing eyes, and I will admit that I spoke to him the same way I do to dogs and other animals, lol!
Pretty cool to get within touching distance of one of these magnificent carnivores. I will treasure this forever.
Notice the lifted paw, cause we fancy 💅🏻
