Bush Baby

Kitty is the last of a dying breed. She is a true Alaska Bush Baby. For those of you not familiar with Alaska, a bush baby is someone who was raised remote in the wilds of Alaska. I know you are thinking of the bush family showcased on one of the cable networks. She is that and so much more. I don't know if they are real or not. My wife is the real deal.

Wolf and specifically white wolf is her animal sign. She has had wolf follow her for her entire life. When she was two, way down on the Chatanika River, where she was raised, her dad came across a wolf that had one of his paws injured. Got caught in some trappers line more than likely. He patched up the wolf as best he could, wrapped it's paw and gave it some jerky that was in his pack. Then he sent this wolf away. Didn't think any more about it. He figured he did what he could and the canine would either survive or not but he gave it a chance.

Anyway, this particular wolf hung around and started showing up in the field where Kitty played. Whenever he saw it, he would run and grab her to keep it from her. It was for her protection. One day the wolf was out in the field and this little bush baby toddled out into the field and walked right up to it. This beautiful old wolf gave her a lick and they commenced to playing with each other. If this was to happen today, any child would be taken from their parent and the parent would be locked up. It is a completely different world now.

This wolf became a constant companion to her. Wolf has been with her throughout her life. Oni, the world's best service dog was wolf. Three quarter Siberian Husky and one quarter wild wolf. He was the most intelligent and gentlest animal I have ever seen. Unless she was in danger. Wolf is her sign and wolf is her life.

There are many more stories of Miss Kittie's life to get out, but this is a very short start. Stay tuned. While we are taking care of everything else, I will try and post more stories about the life of my wife as they come.
