who's afraid of the big bad wolf?

Today we went to a library program, probably one in a long line of programs we'll visit over the course of this summer. This one was about wolves. or more accurately, wolf-dogs. the lady who was the speaker brought an actual wolf-dog with her. dissapointingly, this one was low-bred, so He didn't have a lot of wolf in him. his face looked like a husky or malimute, but the rest of his body had that brown-patchy wolfish look. after the lady told them that the fur was spun by volunteers and used to make purses and stuff, the kids kept reaching up to the poor animal and pulling its hair out. fortunately (for the kids ;) that didn't seem to hurt the dog. unfortunately, the dog got tired of the constent attention and took off, (not running, walking) through the room. one of the in audience explained that the dog was tired of being petted, and was probably moving out of the way of the pestering little hands. until we meet again,
