It's always a challenge to write about Malik and Shadow because sometimes in retirement, life becomes routine and routine is good. This week, Malik's added a new twist to his routine. Twice in 2 days, Malik has approached the curator from behind and removed her hair band (including some hair). The first time, he was on the den while her back was turned to interact with Shadow, the second time, it was while she was talking to some Behind the Scenes visitor. It appears the new greeting for Malik is to do a circle from behind and see if there's something to take. It definitely stimulates him mentally and physically.
