maya – Jan 5, 2009 12:00 AM

Maya is keeping the pups in line, but at times, she is finding that to be a challenge. Aidan has mastered the threat display and snapping behavior, and Denali has taken to giving her direct eye contact. When moments are tense, she does assert herself well, but with Shadow remaining calm, the situations rarely escalate. Maya is even comfortable enough to do some rolling in the fresh snowfall, with the pups watching and interacting intently.
