Butterfly Flap to the Wolves

This is not a management post. I feel the need to do a little butterfly flap for an organization that I care about and that is having financial problems.

The Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary is located in the high-desert country of Candy Kitchen, New Mexico. They provide a permanent home to over fifty wolves and wolf-dogs. Their mission is three-fold: to educate the public, to rescue abused and abandoned captive-bred wolves and wolf-dogs and to provide our residents with permanent, safe sanctuary.

You can see their cool blog here. If you can help in any way, I am sure it will be much appreciated. If you are traveling to New Mexico, you can visit the sanctuary and see the wolves up close.

I just went through the online process of sponsoring an animal and it was quite easy. Here is who I sponsored, Shakti:



And here is a little bit about Shakti from their website:

Shakti is a strong girl who loves attention from people. When anyone is in her enclosure, she will beg for pets all over her body. If outside of her enclosure, Shakti will scent roll the fence, hoping for a scratch. She will also bound up when tours come by, for she knows she might get a treat. Shakti's favorite past-time is to fence fight with her neighbor, Cove. The two have had an on-going conflict since they both matured, and they do not look as if they are going to stop any time soon. At one point, Shakti took part of Cove's nose off. Then, Cove got her revenge, and split Shakti's lip, giving her a slight deformity. However, it is believed it is all in good fun, and the two seem to enjoy the feud. Shakti lived with her brother, Zeus, and the two got along great. Unfortunately, Zeus passed away and now Shakti lives by herself. She does not seem too upset, however, and is quite content being a bachelorette.

Shakti is a pure Timber wolf.

Heya, great article on innovation. There is a lot of hue and cry about innovation which seems to be the buzz word, much like JIT and KANBAN in the 90's.

The question Ramcharan should answer is Whats the next trend ?
