Ha, Ha --- In reading these notes I especially tuned in to the word "evolved"!! Ok, my dear wonderful late husband had the best come back I had ever known for the ---- "evolution" ---- stuff. Ok, IF we evolved from apes ---- why do we STILL HAVE THEM?? Same here folks. We DO still have wolves. I am very much experienced with this in my life. One thing that is very very bad in our domestic world is a HYBRID wolf/dog as a -- so called -- PET. I can actually testify to many horror stories of such. However, the pure wold and the pure dog are definitely OK. As you've all already known being doggy folks etc. --- genetics and environment play a double duty action in the development of each and every individual. Nuff said. Unless you folks want to get some really interesting actual accounts I'll geaux ---- Lovin' Da List as usual.

The claim is made therein that we didn't domesticate wild wolves...not exactly..but that they exposed themselves to us for our "easy pickin's"... Anyway, Part II hasn't aired yet...so keep an eye out for Part I, and then also for Part II. The white markings that showed up in an experimental breeding (foxes, if memory serves) might interest y'all. Peggy >>>>>>>>>> Bas and I tuned in to it also. Said that the dog originated in eastern Asia near Siberia. And, that the wolf evolved in only one life time (human's lifetime)...... very quickly. They just simply changed from wolf to dog. It didn't take thousands of years, but just about 80. Can that be true? Kate ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
