shadow – Oct 14, 2011 12:00 AM

We were a bit concerned with Shadow after he seemed disinterested in food on Sunday – Tuesday. We changed the surveillance cameras to constantly record rather than record only motion. He was even resting in the den with an unusually "rest on side" posture. At this age, any subtle difference is worth noting and recording. He seems fine today, it could have been the upper 70's and 80 degree temperatures we had last weekend. Heat stress can take a toll on a wolf with a full winter coat, far more problematic than in the middle of summer when they have shed all their undercoat. The forecast for tomorrow is a high of 49, a great temperature for an arctic wolf.
