It's the start of the 25th anniversary celebration weekend, and the Youtube Posting will be delayed until Monday to show some of the weekend events. Shadow continues to have good days when he's interactive, and days when he is completely subdued in behavior. The behavioral cues are flat back ears, his head is held low, he doesn't seek out interactions and he remains aloof with the pack. Maya even did a ride-up on Shadow yesterday in a show of dominance, and Shadow just retreated. The transition to retirement will likely make him more comfortable. Retirement isn't a negative situation when the physical demands are less, and the security and privacy factors are enhanced.
