denali – Aug 11, 2008 12:00 AM

Denali is much more relaxed in the exhibit than Aidan, but both pups are adjusting well. Denali has much more associative behavior with Grizzer, although Grizz is good with both pups. Denali continues to have good weight gain and is fond of coming back into the pup pen for twice daily feedings. He often lies in the chute after a feeding and has to be coaxed out. This makes management so much easier when they become adults. It is critical now that there is no negative conditioning with the gates, as that is what seems to have startled Maya.
