grizzer – Jun 18, 2004 12:00 AM

Grizzer is 44 days old today. During pup pen cleaning, the pups ran around the auditorium with leashes on to condition them to wearing leashes. Pups did very well and explored the auditorium and went into pup pen. Grizz did well during the programs-he became anxious but was able to be redirected with stimulus items such as pig ear and beaver foot. Just before feeding, all three pups displayed interesting, possibly new (Maya and Grizz pair dominating Nyssa) behaviors. The play went on for 10 minutes and was captured by staff on videotape
