The last snow fall gave us another 8 inches or so, right when the snow before that was just beginning to go away! Even with all this snow the volunteers' trudge right through it to get the random projects of the day finished. The past few days have been much warmer than the average winter day, which has allowed the staff and the volunteers' to wear just a sweater instead of 2 shirts, a sweater, and 2 jackets! If it has been that warm then obviously the snow is melting rather quickly. There is a lot of slush, ice, and mud everywhere on the compound, but we are all managing well; except for some of the vehicles that like to get stuck in the mud.

The animals all have muddy, brown bellies from running in their enclosures throughout the day. Although the 2-legged are anticipating the arrival of the summer months, the animals are still enjoying the snow. The cold weather is much more fun for the wolves, considering they have a double coat the winters do not feel as cold to them. The summer months however must feel 3x as hot to the animals because of their extra coat.

As the winter volunteers' begin to end their time here, we are all excited to see the newcomers for the Spring and Summer months. This is always a big thing out here. What is this new person's name, what do they like, will they make it here? There are just a few of the questions that we ask eachother before a new volunteer comes out. Last summer we had a staff of 2 men volunteers and 6 female volunteers. It was a lot of fun to just go to the lake and make wolf pup food and other tasks that were to be done.

Please dont forget that there are a few internet sites trying to help us become more known throughout the country:

1. wildspirit.myphotomax.com
2. youtube.com search wswolves (to see videos of the pups last summer)
3. Goodsearch.com (search engine that donates money everytime someone searches with us listed as the charity)
