Wolf Pack

 Vikki had heard this Wolf pack arrive on the lake at about 3:30 last night.  Their howling woke her up.  There was the usual howling plus one wolf sounded like a nasty gremlin from a horror movie.  Not like any howling wolf sound she had ever heard.  The next morning there they were across the narrows arguing and fighting and really carrying on.  Vikki thinks there were 5 or 6.  These are the big Timber wolves, not the small grey coastal wolf.  It is good that they are on the other side of the lake.  Bee went running up to the cabin door.  Hannah could even hear them and came out on the dock and set quietly.  These wolves were so upset with each other that they paid us no mind.  Also there is courage in numbers as we found out 4 years ago when they stormed our cabins.  If Vikki had done a wolf howl they just more than likely would have swam the 300 feet to check out the intruder.  This is one pack of very confident animals.
