Hi All!
As some of you know, in the late 1980s, as I was spending
a lot of time in Lucerne Valley (some 3,800 ft elevation,
AKA: "The High Desert") at the back, bottom end of the
Big Bear Mountains, a virtual Walt Disney story was born.
A female Timber Wolf (Orange/White) began a routine
of waiting for me to enter the dirt road leading from the
main, asphalt road to the dirt road to the Ranch my ex-
girlfriend and I planned to buy...and, as soon as the dust
trail my car would create became visible, a germane dust
trail started at the top of a far away pine-covered mountain
trail, descending in my direction...
Interestingly enough, the timing of this strange race was
so precise that, as I stopped in front of our Ranch Home,
this handsome canine with a large, thick tail flapping up and
down on the sand, laid down at my feet, breathing hard,
sending me loving messages from her bright yellow eyes.
Since I could only visit here on weekends, there were "holes"
in my gorgeous welcome committee's regular attendance...
so, I told her affectionately: "Well...guess you're just another
FLOOZIE after all!"...and Floozie became the name she
responded to after that...
LONG story short: Floozie eventually decided to "adopt me",
stay and join the other three dogs we had: a Large Belgian
Shepard/Alaskan Huskie/ Doberman beautiful male I named
"Jefke" (a common Belgian name: "Little Jeff")... a half-
Autralian Shepard/ Half wild Coyote who deservedly became
"Rascal", and an adorable, lively little black-and-white LHASA
APSO, who pretty much barked orders to the others, I simply
called "LHASA"...
Floozie often would take her three adopted brothers up the
trail from whence she came, to meet her family...every once-
in-a-while dredging back one or two identical orange/white
twins upon their return...the latter always staying outside of
the chain link fence, often engaging in sunset concerts with
FLOOZIE (on "this side" of the fence)...Alaskan wolf howling
style...It was spine-tingling and beautiful...
...Especially after FLOOZIE adopted me as her Alpha Pack
Leader, Lord and Master and virtually trained herself to live
to please me totally (had she ben human, one more item
would have been added to to this amazing list)...
Unbelievable as it may seem, she never howled, even at
Police or ambulance siren, and learned to do what she had
observed me expecting from her other brothers...so much
so that, after we moved to the San Diego area, and she
ended up being my only remaining pet (for reasons too
long to share here and now)...she was so quiet that many
people would not believe that she actually lived with me...
On a couple of occasions when a careless cat would
wander into our yard, and, in seconds, she had it down
on its back under her (and once had a cat's head in her
jaw) my simple command: "FLOOZIE...NO!" sufficed to
have her let go, and run to my side, looking up at me,
breathing hard, as if to proudly say "Just for YOU, my
Leader".It is a known fact that NO DOG will "let go"
once they are in a fight and hold another animal in their
teeth...even when doused full force with a garden hose...
Whenever small children would adoringly yank her huge
tail, and occasionally ride on her back, she would never
even growl...instead, would turn around and give the little
one a lick/kiss..just to show me she loved "my kind"...
I learned to love, admire and respect deeply the unique
intelligence, sensitivity, ESP abilities (we would often
communicate by "locking eyes") and high value of all
Floozie, thus, All WOLVES...
...and URGE YOU to PLEASE read and JOIN ME by
responding to the attached appeal.
THANK YOU...and (now departed) FLOOZIE sends
you grateful thanks!
Love,
Jacques

Jacques -- Over the last few weeks, you and more than 70,000 others have signed on as Citizen Cosponsors to vital wildlife-saving legislation that would finally end Alaska's brutal aerial hunting program -- and prevent programs like it from spreading to places like the Greater Yellowstone region. On Tuesday, I stood with our Alaska Program Director, Karla Dutton and others as Congressman George Miller (CA) formally introduced legislation that would do just that -- the Protect America's Wildlife (PAW) Act.
This is an important bill to Alaskans, so Karla has asked me to pass on her request to urge your Representative to sign on as an original legislative cosponsor of the PAW Act. Please read her message below and take action today to support this important new effort to save wolves.
Thanks,
Rodger
Tell your Representative to become a cosponsor of the PAW Act today!
Rep. Miller’s PAW Act will help put an end to Alaska’s brutal aerial gunning program -- and prevent programs like it from spreading to the Lower 48.
Increase your impact -- forward this message on to 6 friends to let them know how to help!
Dear Wildlife Supporter,
My home state of Alaska has some of the most intact wild places and abundant wildlife in America -- but the Last Frontier is also home to a brutal reality: aerial hunting of wolves.
On Tuesday, Rep. George Miller (CA) introduced vital wildlife-saving legislation that could finally end Alaska’s brutal aerial hunting program. But he needs the support of your elected official to pass it.
You can help Congressman Miller and Alaskans like me to put an end to this horrific program once and for all -- and prevent programs like it from spreading to the Lower 48 States.
Write your Representative today! Tell him or her to become a cosponsor of the Protecting America’s Wildlife (PAW) Act -- vital legislation that will end Alaska’s brutal aerial hunting of wolves and stop similar programs in other states.
As summer ends, another deadly season of aerial hunting looms on the horizon in Alaska. Now, states like Wyoming and Idaho are planning to use this savage practice to slaughter wolves within their own borders.
That’s why we’re turning the national spotlight on this unnecessary and savage practice -- to end Alaska’s aerial hunting program and stop it from spreading elsewhere.
Tell your Representative to cosponsor the PAW Act today -- and put an end to unnecessary aerial hunting.
Already, more than 50,000 people have seen our web video about aerial hunting. More than 70,000 activists have signed on as Citizen Cosponsors of this legislation. And thousands have generously donated to help our campaign.
Help us win for our wolves. Write your elected official in the House. Tell him or her to cosponsor the PAW Act today.
With Rep. Miller’s PAW Act, we can stop Alaska’s slaughter from the skies -- and prevent programs like it from spreading to places like the Greater Yellowstone region.
Thank you for all you do to protect wolves and other wildlife.
Sincerely,
Karla Dutton
Alaska Program Director
