Aidan – Tolerance but still Lacking in Confidence

Aidan has been spending the last few weeks on a cover hay mound of snow in front of the windows.  This height advantage definitely makes him more tolerant of the pack during the daily rallies.  This confidence has led to Aidan taking his morning supplements at the fence.  This hasn’t occurred since mid-January when this whole situation started, so it could be a response of him gaining more confidence or an indication of the seasonal change of more calming behavioral patterns. There are some limits, Aidan still doesn’t go beyond the safety of the lower enclosure.  When the pack takes a run up to the top of the hill, Aidan will prance back, displaying a stiff-leg jump in excitement, but confident enough to follow.
