Written by Workin' For Wolves program participant Andi Nelsen: During the Workin' For Wolves program, participants cleaned the straw out of the enclosure, leveled off the main pathways, cleaned den boxes, spread cedar chips, planted grass seed, and set up the overhead mister for warmer weather. Mackenzie showed signs of stress by not wanting to go into the holding pen then pacing once there. At 14 years of age, her body shows increasing signs of age, both in her eye and weakness in her hind limbs. Potentially, the weather played a part in her mobility issues , being warm on Friday but cold and damp Saturday into Sunday morning. Observations will be important to monitor her mobility issues.
