This week's wolf logs were written by program participants in the 10/28-10/30/05 weekend program called "Working for Wolves", in which participants performed enclosure enrichment and maintenance projects in both the Retired and Exhibit enclosures. Written by Jill Badyrka and Tom Skorupinski: Shadow's weekend was interrupted by the Working for Wolves program, in which participants entered the Exhibit enclosure to clean the scat and bones, build a retaining wall at the den, and to drain the pond. In order for the participants to enter the enclosure, the Exhibit pack had to be moved into a holding pen, which was initially the outside puppy pen for Grizzer, Maya, and Nyssa. The changes occurring over the weekend provoked agitation, as demonstrated by his frequent bark-howling and pacing. However, after the work was done, he appears relaxed, lying atop his favorite spot above the den.
