We went to a wolf rescue center in Divide, CO. We took a tour of the facility and also got to feed and play with the wolves. They mostly rescue wolves that people tried to have as pets and then realized they aren't trainable. The first enclosure we visited had 2 arctic wolves (one 17 year old male 125 lbs. and one 8 year old female 100 lbs.). We sat down and they ate raw chicken out of our hands. They had warned us that the wolves really like to give kisses on the face. It was a little intimidating have a wolf licking your face. After spending time (a little too close) in the first enclosure I decided to let Clay go alone and play with the wolf pups (11 month old brother and sister about 75 lbs.) He chased them and they chased him...it was really cool. While he was petting the wolf pup all of the wolves (about 15) started howling. Very cool experience!!!
