Shadow has been really enjoying the time the pack spends in retirement. He races around the enclosure, swims in the pond and climbs on the den. Although, he still doesn't appear ready for retirement, when the transition occurs, he should do well. Shadow continues to be a source of focus for Aidan, when Aidan is very stressed, he seeks Shadow out, and often does a behavior called "Obnoxious Submission", where Aidan paws, licks, jumps and generally gets in Shadow's face. Shadow responds by dominating Aidan, showing Aidan that he has a place in the pack.
