NEWS FLASH! I actually made something at Brownies! I made a Dream Catcher. It was basically weaving bits of wool around a stick. But hey, it's better than nothing, which is what we usually do at Brownies! Brownies is usually just a gossip club for Brown Owl and her 'Helpers'. When I'm there, I feel like I must be invisible. Woah... that's a cool thought, being invisible would be awesome!
In two days (Sunday), I'm going to the Anglian Wolf Society, again! It's an awesome place in Bedford where you can get up close to wolves. There's only a few wolves, and they're separated by a tall wire fence, it has to be tall, so the wolves can't jump out! The staff were really cool last time I went there because they told us the story of all the wolves they had. Feeding time was the best! The staff threw large chunks of meat and the wolves leapt on the fence and snatched the meat in their strong jaws! I loved watching them, it was like they were wild wolves tearing the meat from an elk's leg.
Last time I went to the Anglian Wolf Society, they had bats, hedgehogs, alpacas and a great shop! I'll be taking lots of pics when I make the proper blog post about it!
