Tikaani

the wolf gift is with me
it's the wolf that I'll always be
the gift so spacious and vast
I know it shall always last 

I differ from most others 
I've not yet found another 
with the wild thing inside 
the thing that will never hide

I am misunderstood 
I hide under a hood 
staring towards the wild 
like a wistful little child 

the wolf's stare is steady 
I tell him that I'm ready 
and off we go into the night 
jumping high and taking flight

we leap and run and dance in play 
leaving the worries that plaque us all day 
freedom is something that I'll never forget 
and I'll be free for ever, I bet 

TIKAANI 

WOLF

Tikaani was a very injured wolf-dog. or, wolfess, as she liked to think of herself. anyway, the youngster had been attempting to catch a too-large stag on her own. the animal had managed to step on her, smashing her paw. while wandering helplessly around, Tikaani had been told by some kind soul - a wolf named Sweet Fur, she believed - that this lady could help her... even though the other wolfess had never been there herself. so Tikaani had thanked the wolf and been on her way. 
now, the huntress limped steadily toward the yard. her strength was giving out; she had been like this for days. the youthly female used the last of her energy to bolt on the doorstep and scratch with her one good paw. then the exhausted wolf-dog collasped.



call me Tikaani 
bless me bitch 
make me 1 year old 
mix me hybrid (96% Europeon/Arctic wolf, 4% Chinook dog) 
paint me Tikaani is gray, silver, and white. her white is around her chest, belly, and legs, and some is around her eyes and other parts of her face. Tikaani has darker silver streaks on her body that look like little spikes. she has the coloring and body of a wolf. Tikaani's eyes are a beautiful golden, her face expressionless. her paws are normal-sized, her muzzle medium-lengthed, her legs medium-lengthed, and her back medium-lengthed. she stands 20" at the shoulder, and weighs around 80 pounds. she's pretty small, for a wolf or dog, but size doesn't always matter. 
try me Tikaani is a very free spirit. she's actually rather quiet, but when she does make sounds, they are long and loud. she is very smart, and isn't aggressive, yet she is always very dominant. the only sounds Tikaani makes are growls, snarls, and howls. Tikaani thrives on the company of wolves, and, seeing that she is more wolf than dog, has the potential and cleverness to lead a wolf pack. Tikaani is always calm and composed. she knows when to start fighting and when to humor a creature big on killing. she knows when to attack a deer and when to let it go. her senses are all unusually keen. she can smell a sick or injured caribou from an extremely long distance--much longer than the average wolf's. some people might mistake Tikaani for a wolf instead of a hybrid. in her personality and actions, there are absolutely zero signs that she has any dog blood in her. still, if she is used as a sled dog, Tikaani will make a nice lead dog. in fact, she'll be bad at every position except lead. maybe it is because she is such a leader, but she can't help it. it's just how she is. Tikaani knows that she is misunderstood by dogs or normal hybrids, so she hangs with wolves instead of dogs--or, sometimes, if she finds a hybrid like herself, she'll hang with him/her. very wolfish, Tikaani was named for a good reason.

TIKAANI

Aaka*Lady

Aaka had been wa;ling out when she saw Tikaani. She turned towards the Lady and barked once. Immediatly the Lady came over and saw the injured youngster. Letting out a sigh she walked inside to grab some supplies.

Giving the small wolfess a light sedative just to be on the safe side she began to work on the lag. Putting a cast on it she nodded at her handy work. Not her best but with the supplies she had it was pretty well done. She would keep Tikaani here until the wolfess was showing improvement. For now she would just lift the wolf and place her in the backyard in one of the pens.
