She's a pretty insightful animal for only being three years old. So basically, the Swift Foxes at the Houston Zoo are trained to perform certain behaviors that allow the keepers to check on their health. They know several: Sit, Target, Table, Spin and Stand. Well, on this particular day, Suki did not want to do the Stand command. Everything else she did happily but she simply refused to stand on her hind legs. It was actually pretty funny to watch, the keeper would signal for "stand" but Suki ]]></media:text>

I've been stressed lately, lots to do and not much time to do it. So to unwind, I went to the zoo to take some pictures. I have to walk past the otters to get to the foxes; I don't spend a lot of time trying to shoot through the thick glass of the otter enclosure because they don't come out well, but it's still fun to watch the otters playing. Wednesday and Ariel usually put on a good show swimming back and forth or wrestling around, as did many ]]></media:text>

This time, I let everyone choose their own pieces that they would like to be featured. If you didn't get back to me, I selected one piece at random from your gallery. If you would like me to change it just note me and I'll take care of it.

As another year ends and a new one begins we have to remember to be excited about the possibilities and opportunities. These two young foxes certainly were. I could have sat and watched them all day, but what was funniest about them is how excited they were if any keeper walked anywhere close to their enclosure. They would get up and bark or run around excitedly, then they'd press their noses up against the mesh. If the keeper would walk on by, it was an excuse to wrestle around for a little before curling back up and wait for the next keeper. There's an important lesson in that; ]]></media:text>

The keepers at the zoo gave the Swift Foxes a special treat, a watermelon full of crickets. They had cut a hole in the top of the top of the watermelon to give the foxes access to the treats inside. The hole gave them plenty of room to fit through but that wasn't good enough for Suki. She decided that she didn't like that cut out, and thought it would be best to make her own.

Seeing as I spend a lot of time photographing them, it just seems right that I would learn more from them than other animals. And before anyone starts complaining to me about my animal choice, please read the lesson. Pick your battles. As I have said before in previous lessons, wolves fight...a lot, but that doesn't mean they fight over everything. You'll actually see where they will consider starting a fight but back down. Two of the wolves at the sanctuary are really bad about this; they are neighbors and if one is too close to the others fence they will snarl ]]></media:text>

Years have passed and people have quietly pushed it from their memories in an attempt to get back to routine.

This little fox found a spot that she liked, a nice comfortable enclave on a ledge in her enclosure, and decided it was hers and didn't move&#133;all day.

I have seen them in the forests of Yellowstone, the tundra of Alaska, the deserts of Arizona and everything in between. They can live in sparse rural setting to heavily populated urban areas, they are survivors. The coyote is in America what foxes have become in Britain, and while the Urban Fox gets more attention, you can't dismiss the wiles of Canis Latrans. A lot of people view these animals as pests, but if you look closely the are actually very beautiful creatures that are just trying to make a living like the rest of us.

Be happy for whatever good is in your life, be it your friends, your opportunities, even something as small as being able to stand in the sun...or, if you prefer, the rain.

The tale of the Mexican Grey Wolf in the United States is a sad story in which we basically wiped them out. Yet, they survived. A reintroduction effort has been started to keep them wild and there are about 40 animals in scattered packs in Arizona and New Mexico. There are two animals that have taught this lesson. The first was Bob, a Mexican Grey Wolf at the Wild Canid Center in Eureka, Missouri. Bob was part of the reintroduction in Arizona but developed a habit of picking off livestock, so the park service decided that they had to shoot him. The ]]></media:text>

The Houston Zoo enclosure has a moat at the front of the viewing area to prevent escapes. The water is there so that the tiger can't get the footing to jump up and out of his area but that's not the explanation that most people give. The basic assumption is that a tiger is a cat and cats hate water but here's the kicker: Tigers love water. Pandu made his point by putting on a swimming display for about fifty zoo visitors.

It wasn't until they stopped one of them in the center that one of them decided to investigate it.

The interaction between adults and pups has always been as aspect of wolves that has fascinated me. One of the most aggressive wolves I have ever seen was McKinley, a wolf at the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone. He was huge and made sure that the other wolf Leopold, knew that he was in charge. Well, the center introduced two pups into his enclosure, one male, one female. Well, McKinley and Leopold started taking care of them. A huge change came over McKinley, he would play with the pups, bring them toys, let them chew and craw ]]></media:text>

Every time it got the same reaction; fear, people stepping back for the enclosure, followed by nervous laughter. Yet the kids would go back to making noise back at the animals. However, the cheetah was different. He voiced his distaste for the noises being made at him, but did so in a series of chirps. Surprisingly, the people reacted by actually quieting their kids.

Bears are very opportunistic animals; they will eat anything and everything they can. That's one of the reasons why there are so many problems with bears in urban areas. However, if you think about it, they can teach a pretty good lesson. If you are given an opportunity to do something that you want to do, go and do it.

Blood may be thicker than water but friendship is the glass it floats in. Anyone who works around wolves know that they fight, it's just in the animal's nature. They aren't real physical fights, more like slight arguments and eventually one will submit to the other. The thing is no matter how much they fight, the two wolves are still part of the pack. They will have dominance displays and nip at one another but they will always make up afterwards.

How do you evaluate that? My answer is you don't. The value of a life isn't what is done, it's who it helps. The value of a life is how it affects the other lives around it. Those who have access to millions of people, don't have a more valuable life but they have more responsibility to affect them in a positive way. Those who only deal with a small group of people need only to worry about improving the lives of those around them.  ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Lately, I've been thinking about how to exactly define courage. I've always been told that there is a fine line between courage and stupidity but I've begun to question whether or not that is true . Is the brave person the one who didn't think that they would be hurt? Or simply the one who didn't step back with the rest of the people in line?  To me courage is not a lack of fear, if you are not afraid when you should be, that means that you are insane, not brave. In truth, I feel that courage is doing what needs to be done no matter what the costs to yourself, bravery is doing good even if it is not the popular thing to do.  Courage is not la ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Many people don't truly realize how a simple act of kindness affects someone. It's something that can make a good day into a great day and turn a bad day around.  Doing something nice for someone just for the sake of doing it can change the world. Maybe not the world as a whole, but the world for one person, if just for one day. It doesn't have to be big, something as simple as holding a door or helping someone with their groceries can make a difference. People may question your motives, but do good anyway. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Dreams are kind of strange little things. Mostly, they are a contradiction. A dream can be a great source of strength. It can keep someone going, let them do things that they never thought possible. Other times a dream can be a source of despair. It is more fragile than glass and can shatter at the slightest touch, leaving someone with nothing.  The question is; is it better to have a dream and fail or to not dream at all? Is it worth the cost of having to pick up the pieces and start over again? Maybe, sometimes it's in those pieces that we find what is truly meaningful, sometimes we find nothing. The point is that we tried our best, which i ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ In the past couple of weeks I have had a couple of people attempt to start arguments on my page about wolves. Please don't. This is not a forum and I am attempting to at least sell a print or two. Firstly, as "convincing" the arguments were ("everybody knows" is not a fact based statment) they were sadly lacking in quality and facts so the offending parties have been banned. Secondly, it brought to my attention how little people seem to actually know about these animals. So I decided to share my favorite books on wolves in hopes that some people might read them.<br /><br />One of the best guides to wolves that I have found is a book called The Wolf Alm ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Recently I seem to be coming up short on the expectations I had set for myself. School hasn't exactly been fantastic and I'm starting to fall short in my photo work. Part of the problem is that the photo club I go to favors the artistic, studio side of photography or photo manipulations. That's just not my style, I am more the capture a special moment in time or get a shot of an animal doing something interesting.  I'm not going to change that for anybody. I like the challenge of having to get the photo or it's gone.  Right now, I feel like I need a time out from life, instead I'm gearing up for round 2 of this slugfest. Wish me luck... ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Well, I haven't been editing much. I've been working on a special project for the sanctuary that has been taking up much of my editing time. I'll have more information on that in October. Anyway, I'll have some more shots later, I had to postpone a trip because of bad weather. Everything is going to clear up for next week, hopefully. I'm running out of days up here but I'm hoping to make the most of the time I have left before I head back. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ So after about three weeks of rain, the sun finally came out! It's going to be a great week. I think I'll plan to get another tour scheduled for Sunday so I can get some more wildlife shots. Speaking of wildlife, there have been plenty of sightings, including a moose running through our compound. On top of that the rangers informed me that there were a few bears at exit glacier and even a wolf sighting up by Marmot Meadows. So there have been sightings of every large animal we have in the area. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ As per request a new Mystery update. (Sorry, I know you asked a week ago.) The SFWS just got two new wolves from Oregon. They were put next to Mystery and she is being "rather bossy" with her new neighbors according to the sanctuary staff. It will still be a couple of months before I get to post some pictures of the new wolves, but I'll get them when I get back home I promise. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ When I first started posting on here it was just for my friends and family. I never really cared what other people thought. Now I've started wondering about my shots, why this one is more popular than that one or what's wrong with this one that no one likes it. I think I need  to go back to when I didn't care how things would pan out and start taking pictures for myself again. If people like them great, if not who cares? ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ It's been a very rough week at work, lots of mistakes and me and my co-workers trying to salvage the situation. Thursday night though I heard something at around two in the morning. It started off as just a low mournful note and then it rose in volume. Other voice joined in the chorus. Soon it was like the night was alive. One of the packs decided to sing. As bad as this week was, I don't think I would trade it for anything, all because of one song.<br /><br />I truly feel sorry for those who have never heard a wolf howl before. Luckily for most people, there are places like Wolf Park and the Wild Canid Center that have howl nights. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ As you can see from my recent shots, I'm back in Seward.  Already I'm wishing that I drove up so I would have a car but I'll deal without one. It's going to be an interesting summer for me, lots of decisions to make. Very few new faces this year so we have a little bit of experience that will help. Enough talk about work. I was able to get up to Denali and what a sight this time of year. Saw a ton of moose, I'll have pictures later. ]]></media:text>

Well, Thursday Mystery had to be darted in order to give her the annual Rabies shots, she won't let the vet get close enough otherwise. They hit her with the tranq dart but there was one problem; she didn't go down. I'll say one thing, the girls a fighter. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ The shed now has four wall and rafters, we'll be putting up roof soon. Just remeber kiddies when you are putting up siding make sure you chalk lines are in the right spots because a nail gun will shot nails throung siding and stick in the opposite wall of your project. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Well, the shed is coming along nicely. Hit our second set back of the project. Just a little bit of advice: Don't put a nail into a wall strut unless the wall is exactly where you want it. It's kind of a pain trying to get a nail out of a very heavy wall when you shoot it in there with a nail gun. So we got the third wall up and in place. Hopefully, it will be done by next weekend. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Some people have spring cleaning. I tend to have spring projects. This year I'm building a shed in the back yard. It's just a floor and two walls now but it's coming along nicely. One thing I learned doing things like that is that there are always set backs. I had my first one today, wrong size 2X4's. The people at Lowes mislabeled their lumber. So instead of 2x4x8s we ended up with 2x4x8'8'' and 3/4 and didn't notice until we were putting on our siding. It'll still work so nothing to worry about. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Sorry for being so Emo lately, guys. Everything has been kind of at an "Ebbing" point right now. I guess I'll have to take my own advice and dig in and keep at it. At least, I know that I have some solid friends that have my back. When I said, "If there is ever a zombie apocolypse I'd want you guys next to me." I meant it! Thanks!<br /><br />In other news, :iconwingedworchael: still has one or two slots left for her custom plushies. Jump on them while you can. If you are interested just send her a note!<br /><br />Stay Strong and Keep Fighting! ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Show me a man that says he takes rejection well and I'll show you a liar. So yeah, I got my first rejection letter yesterday from a law school.  Apparently, my numbers weren't good enough to get in. I really shouldn't care, I have other options but I don't know...<br /><br />Anyway, I've been emo enough. In other news, I have another shoot scheduled for tomorrow at the SFWS. This time I will get a good shot of Romulus and Remus! Rom is my personal favorite and I still don't have a shot of him up here yet.<br /><br />Also :iconWingedworchael: still has a couple slots available for her Custom Plushies! Example can be seen here http://wingedworchael.deviantart.com/ ]]></media:text>
