The Arctic's had an interesting weekend. Not only did they deal with Denali being in the pack holding area (this caused Shadow to guard his food with more attitude), but on Sunday, a stray husky dog squeezed between the fences and was in the secondary fence next to the retired enclosure. Thankfully the dog didn't get into the retired enclosure, and two people chasing the dog jumped the fence to retrieve it. The combination of strange people and a dog on site didn't help matters for dominance in the Exhibit Pack, but Shadow took it all in stride. After some initial excitement, he settled down pretty quickly. I guess he's seen it all as a former pack leader. We are very thankful that Sherry Jokinen was on site to address the situation. She volunteered to stay the weekend on short notice so the pack was supervised 24 hours day during Denali's time off of the Exhibit.
