How do you wear a wolf out?
There are klaxons, naturally. You have been warned.
So be bold, preferably interesting but never obvious.
Good Luck!

Is the wolf an object?
Like, in German it is a meat grinder like this:

(which I suspect never wears out); in French, a 'wolf head' is a kind of brush like that:

But an object it is, and, I dare suggest, not directly related to mammals?

Wear it out as in fair wear & tear?
or
Wear it out (eg USian) wear it to go out in?
