View Full Version : The Story of the Lone Wolf: A bitch who walked 1,000 miles to find a mate.
http://www.coldsplinters.com/?p=1042
It’s been a long and lonely winter trek for a female wolf that separated from her pack in Yellowstone National Park five months ago.
The Colorado Department of Wildlife says a global position satellite collar, worn by the wolf, has helped them track her epic five-state journey, which has apparently brought her to Colorado in search of a mate. It says the wolf’s last known location in Eagle County, is about 450 miles from its origin. The DOW estimates, however, that she may have walked an estimated total of 1,000 miles.
The 18-month-old female separated from her pack just north of the Yellowstone National Park boundary in September and traveled across five states, including Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah.
It’s not unusual for wolves to travel as far as 60 miles of their pack, but biologist have documented approximately 10 wolves since 1992 that have traveled more than 190 miles.
No biggy. It's just walkin'. ;)
I've walked further than that and still haven't got any!
Ha! I spotted two wolves in the Flat Tops Wilderness Area in CO back in 2007, but the State of CO said I must have been mistaken because there are no wolves there.
I know the differerence between a wolf and a 'yote, but whatever. I hereby declare that this article is a sham and fabrication because by the CDW's own statement, there are no wolves in Colorado.

That's nothin'. The Lone Wolf walked over 15,000 miles before he found Gypsy.

no seriously, i thought the thread was about THE lone wolf, and i thought to myself, the bitch who walked a thousand miles, thats a low blow.
is he doing alright? i thought i saw a thread about him and a doctor visit or something like that.
ah, had i known he'd be involved with the doctors or something, I would have waited the instant for him to return to sass him.

I went through that this past August. They could not put stints in because my arteries were too crooked. I ended up having a triple by-pass. It was by far the hardest thing I have ever been through. The recovery is VERY hard emotionally as well as physically. You have to really get junk yard dog mean and FIGHT youre way back if you want to return to a normal life.
Hope the stints work for you and you don't have to get your chest cracked open.
