Red Paw is 23 days old today. We also took another measurement on their height, actually, it was taken while they were sleeping, a measurement from the bottom of there paw to the top of the shoulder blade. Red Paw is 25.5 cm tall. The most noteable behavior was the voluntary wag of the tail. Every day their coordination continues to improve, and in the last week, we have observed several involuntary muscle and nerve spasms. But today, Red Paw clearly did a tail wag with a playbow to one of the caretakers. Red Paw has been showing more dominant postures, doing a full stand-over on Attila. The other behavior that is noted is the howling to the main pack. On several occasions, Red Paw howls back when the main pack starts. During one howling session, Red Paw appeared to be fast asleep, lifted his head and howled, then fell asleep again. In the video this week, you will see him tucked underneath the stuffed moose. He seems to find comfort in closed places, and the moose seemed like a good fit. The audio recording is a portion of his howl during his sleep. The howl lasted one minute and 4 seconds, due to file restrictions in these pages, you are hearing 20 seconds worth.
