grizzer – Oct 20, 2008 12:00 AM

Grizzer spent the fall being extremely tolerant of the pups. Rolling over for them and interacting with them in a very social way, not showing very much dominance over them. Now that the pups are bigger, they are taking advantage of this. In recent observations, the pups are grabbing the scruff of his neck and tugging on him, still no real response from Grizzer. The unfortunate thing is that Malik takes advantage of this and charges Grizzer, which causes him to retreat with both pups in tow. Although, we have started to see Grizzer pin Aidan, maybe the colder fall weather will help Grizzer establish some boundaries.
