Friday Fives - We Got to Hang Out With Wolves!


I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists.  Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much.  We went to Seacrest Wolf Preserve in Chipley, Florida before our cruise and it was such an amazing experience.  They are a rehab facility for wolves and various small animals and do guided tours where you get to interact with the animals (under very strict rules and guidelines).  We did a private tour and it was amazing and so interesting.  Here are five pictures from our time there.

This guy was very affectionate and quite determined to give me a kiss

Even wolves do big stretches!

Isn't this big guy gorgeous!

This girl is actually a wolf/German Shepherd hybrid that had been surrendered.  She was a big of belly rubs.

This is Will and Pesto the possum.  Pesto got shaken by a cat at an early age and his back end is paralyzed but he is the absolute sweetest.

If you're ever near Chipley, Florida I highly recommend visiting Seacrest Wolf Preserve.  You can only take a tour with a reservation and the dress code is very strict.  If you're in the mood to splurge a bit I can't recommend a private tour enough.  I learned so much and the animals were just fascinating to watch.

  1. I didn't know that was there in Chipley! That's only about 75 miles away from us, I will need to check it out. Looks like you had a great time!

  2. That is SO awesome! And I knew wolves were big, but seeing them in those photos really brings it home. I got to pet young tigers in Thailand once, and that was a lot of fun. But I'd love to get up close to such beautiful wolves. And that little possum is adorable.
