Such Fun!! I love the way you tell these stories. It makes me feel like I am right there watching the wolves antics as they happen.

It’s a visual experience for me too, Shannon. I imagine the story almost as a movie, and then try to describe the action.

Such a fun read. I didn't realize, until the end, that I was smiling throughout.

I knew wolves played but it never really clicked that it was training as well.

Thank you, Randy! Writing this story was particularly fun, and I actually got to observe some of this playful wolf pup behavior during my recent trip to Yellowstone.

I LOVE this episode!! The examples of the wolves’ play that hones their hunting skills (and need for occasional submission) made for such a fun read! It’s easy to see how their day to day frolicking and chasing strengthens not only their bodies, but minds as well! Great writing, Clint…Learning about wolves through these stories has been eye opening, to say the least!

Right? Wolves are far better examples of family values than many people!
