I love animals, I always did and I'll always do. Even more than people. But unfortunately, I never had a pet because I live with rent and I often change my homeplace once in a while so I don't have the right comfort to offer to an animal and there are also rules which don't allow me to bring pets in this house so.. I'm just dreaming away hoping that one day I'll be able to buy my own homeplace and have all the pets in the world.
But to answer the question of what animal it would be, most likely any I found on the street or in pain and which makes me feel like I could save them and offer a better living. But if I have to pick a breed by far it would be the Czechoslovakian Wolf!!!
I freaking love wolves, I've read tons of books about them and saw hundreds of documentaries about these animals and their behaviour. Everybody tends to say that monkeys have the most similar behaviour as people do, but very few know they are not even close to how many things in common wolves and people have. From thinking to behaviour, from acting in different situations to emotions, and so on. I will always love wolves and hopefully one day I'll become one of them having this animal part of my life.
People always think of them as predatory, vicious and stalkers BUT I believe they just do what they need to to survive an incredibly harsh existence, when I look in to the eyes of the wolf I see eyes that are very wise and knowing. They are such noble, beautiful creatures, how cool would it be though to actually tame one and make it a companion?
I must confess, I laughed when I saw this, I remember you saying there is more to Transylvania than the vampire, werewolf lore that we all think of and what did you choose? A wolf haha.
One day, you may be known as the wold whisperer, great t cross paths with you, hope the weekend was a great one for you and yours :)

Hey! Thanks for the wishes and I hope you had a great weekend too :)
As for the wolves.. maybe I don't remember right but I think I've talked on a previous post about Transylvania having some of the most bears from Europe, not wolves.
I'm not sure about the population of the wolves but there is a movie called Romania Neîmblânzită or Untamed Romania in English which is focused on the wilderness of my country and where you will see some spectacular shots with the wolves.
Lucky or not, I haven't met any wolf yet during my trips our there but I know they are somewhere in the woods and maybe starred at us without even noticing them.
Though, I don't feel too afraid of them after I learned so much about their behaviour and I know are predators only when they need food but definitely not with the people or those who don't have interests in haunting them. :)
An animal sanctuary. A great aspiration. That would be awesome. I applaud individuals and organizations that care for unwanted or rescue animals.
Yeah well, to me it doesn't really make any sense to throw away a bunch of money just for a specific breed of animals when there are tons unwanted by people and who need your love more than anything. Not to mention how pure their love for people is ..
I've had both. Multiple times. Purebred, specific dogs and mutley dogs. I've no argument with either. My top three in my life are a very specifically bred English Springer, a Rottweiler (also specifically bred) and Sam, half something and half something else :)
That Springer was a hunting machine-what he was bred for. The best upland bird dog I've ever seen (and I've seen lots) plus he was a just great companion dog. The Rott was enormous and the most gentle creature on earth. Sam just loves everything and everybody (except cats and squirrels).
I also love them!! I´m always mad with all series about wolfs and wherewolfs and stuff like that... Also the Husky Siveriano is very similar to them, they are gorgeous.
Oh yeah, rumours are what turn a beautiful story into a terrible one in just a few moments! That's really sad!
Huskies are amazing. I have a few friends who own this kind of pet :)
I have had 4 in my lifetime. They averaged 12-14 yrs. I do not know if my heart is strong enough to let another pass by. They are such a loyal and loving breed. They just do not live long enough.
Whaaaaaaat oh noo! That's so saaad.
Hey Gabriela, thanks for joining in this week.
I hope one day you'll be able to get a pet although I understand the difficulties as a tenant rather than home-owner as far as pets go.
I've heard of the Czechoslovakian wolfdog as a pet and that they are a very family-oriented breed making them a good pet. They certainly look like a wolf which is a good thing because wolves look cool.
I hope you get one someday as it seems you're pretty well set on it. I'll cross my fingers for you.

Thank you so much for the nice wishes! If I'll get one, I'll make sure to introduce it on Hive and offer a small corner for it on my blog too :)
Oh yeah, that would be cool! The wolf could have its own account too! Lol.
What would you name it though? And if you say Wolfy I won't believe you. :)
Having his own account sounds cool!
Haven't thought about the name yet but it won't be something boring or too common for sure :)
.. wait, what? Wolfy? Did you say it random or.. because that's my nickname for at least 10 years lol. Now I'm really shocked and confused, do you read minds or something? haha
I'm a mind reader!
Nah, just a random guess actually...But I'll tell you what, Wolfy is a cool nickname!
Haha, nice guess! And thank you🐺
You know? I read some goofy stuff from time to time. But there is a current debate that is going on in anthropology circles about the domestication of wolves. There is a splinter group that believes people didn't domesticate wolves, wolves domesticated humans. Showed them how to hunt and joined packs together. Interesting concept.
Anyway, I think a wolf dog would be an amazing pet if you have space and time. I have a good friend that had a wolf hybrid that was good friends with my Rottweiler. They had some legendary 'play days'.
I'd hope you get to your pet goal sooner rather than later. They are an amazing part of life.
In most of the cases animals are more domestic than people. Unfortunately. But yeah, I can't wait to get this beauty part of my family someday.
For me, having a dog in residence just is the completion, or keystone to a full life.
I'm so glad I have my Sam. I can't even really explain.
I can't wait to have my own little buddy and share my love with him. I can feel your happiness through your words. And I'm sure his a lucky one to have you.
ENGAGEtokens.Wild animals are fantastic to observe. I love when I have a chance to see them whenever I am in the mountains.
Oh, that's for sure! But the one that I made my comment about is not a random wolf from the woods, it's a mix between the wild animal and dog which became a really popular breed of dogs
They are really awesome, I really enjoy watching them too 😁
Awesome animals for sure!
Yeah! I love wolves but can't keep them 😂🤣😂 I rather prefer a monkey to a wolf 😁
Haha. I'm sure we all have our own character which feels more comfortable with different species of animals. That doesn't make it weird or something, it's just the connexion we manage to tie with them.
Yeah! That's really true, we can also be the course of how people see them but a little hate from them is OK 🤣😂😅
Definitely!
Funny enough, when I read this post I thought of writing I would want a wolf but as I scrolled down, I found it has been taken. Painfully 😪
Haha!
Wolves are cool.
Pity you have not had the chance and stability to have pets. Pets are a great thing to have. Animals of any kind tend to provide the kind of companies and emotional comfort we humans may not be able to give other humans.
I had once a dog, I think it was the first one I remember clearly, that was like a wolf. It was a redish brown huge dog called Bobby. Unfortunatelly, he loved eating from the trash,no matter how much fod he got at home,so he was usually smelly and my mother chased him away. He was afraid of fireworks,like most dogs are, and one day hid under a car that was about to move. He did not die right there,but my father had to put him to sleep. Not the best ending for a wolf-like dog
The dog needed a little more taming, so sorry it didn't go well
Exactly!!
That's a horrible story! If you say it was looking like a wolf maybe it was a mix between wolf and a dog and his behaviour was harder to be controlled by people and that's why his instincts asked to be the one who searched for his own food instead of receiving it so easily. But the way everything ended is really sad and I'm sorry about it..
It is. and you're right. We never understood his nature and motivation to procure his own food. For many years we did not have a veterinarian in town. Animals were loved, but people did not develop much attachment and no much was done for them where they were sick or had accidents. It was tough
That's horrible. And I'm really sorry..
My father was pretty harsh with the farm dogs. No Dog was allowed inside the house until my sisters convinced him that they needed a Chihuahua. He tolerated that dog (my sisters adored him) but it was a gift poodle that melted his heart. The little buggar thought he was a big dog but would sleep on the arm or headrest of my Dad's chair. It was actually quite weird.
By that time I was living on my own and he always said something about my dog (s) being in the house when he was at my place. To him there was no contradiction about his poodle. Amazing.
Hahaha. Well, isn't that typical of parents. I have relatives who always questioned pampering attitudes either towards children or animals, only to find themselves becoming pampering champions!
In his old age my father got the company of a cat, Chapulín. It was probably the most antipathetic cat we ever had, and yet...
A cat? My dad never mellowed out that much :) It was actually a miracle that he had the poodle in his house.
I had my Springer during that time and the Poodle would run right with him for hours. It was amazing!
Having a wolf as a pet would be really cool, for me I can only consider it if I had it when its at a tender age. It would really be lovely because he would be my pet and also a scare to people who wants try nonsense towards me 😂
Haha, never thought about it but that could work too, lol!
Definitely will
I think a lot of people can feel an affinity toward wolves, I know I do also. And they are one of the most human animals out there. I do not know much about monkeys, but wolves an be very loving, controlling and protective of each other.
Oh yeah, indeed! Unfortunately I don't know too many people who love those animals but most likely be afraid of them. But I'm happy you do know some.
one of my fave animals are the wolf breeds.
Mine too!
