Aidan – Surveying the Pack

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 3 months since we lost Shadow.  Certainly not a day goes by when I don’t think of him, his behaviors, his leadership and the incredible lessons he taught us all.  When I turn my focus to the Exhibit Pack and watch the 2012 litter of Luna and Boltz maturing into adulthood, I see a bit of Shadow in Aidan’s response to their youthful exuberance.  Aidan will willingly roll on his back and present a submissive paw towards the wolves as they stand near him.  If they become too excited, a quick rise, lip curl and reinforcing growl sends them into a submissive posture.
