Well in my case this was a very particular path trough the woods. The mild slopes let you basically decide what way you want to set a path for yourself and I know every single tree down there so I always follow the exact same path... I follow my intuition when making the path and so often it prooves it is actually that I have picked up a scent and followed it... I will often have an irresistable drive to go in totally random places often ending up in the close proximity of pray animals, funny mushrooms I never seen before or sometimes also markings left by fellow cannines, but those smell diffirent (also depending on gender). I also know dogs have been attracted to my scent... had a number of occasions when male dogs traced out my scent cross-woods and tried to pin me when they found me (of course I learned my way around the woods preety quick so it's not hard for me to lurk off in a way that they get lost and cannot follow). Anyway, this time finding those tracks really made me feel good. It's like another crossed my territory I am eager to meet this someone who followed by very path as for what I will do with him / her I am not sure but I am sure I will know once I meet the fellow. It's only like totally unreal... that territory is really not my own, even tho I did make and maintain that path on my own... and while it's really one of those things I thought my wolf side will only get to feel in dreams and then it DID happen, getting to meet the fellow IS unreal, so I am sorta still hoping but I know I will be dissapointed inside.... Ahh well, just wish things were diffirent. It's a wild forrest I go to so regularly, there are wild animals there (deer, wild rodents, etc) I get to chase them down (rodents) or track them down (deer) sometimes and I even got a cannine leaving pawprints in what corner is clearly only visited by me... and spring is comming but I still know I will remain to be the lone wolf. It's just not fair. :?
