grizzer – Dec 1, 2008 12:00 AM

Grizzer continues to amaze us in his calm demeanor. It's like working with a different wolf, and the calmness in the pack is very noticeable, especially for Malik. In past winter's, Malik and Grizzer had so much tension between them that wolf checks were noisy bouts of activity. Now, a wolf check is calm, Malik spends time on the greeting rock, and overall the pack is very relaxed. We will be monitoring this closely, at some point, the calming influence of the pups will wear off for Grizzer.
