Written by Pups at One Year participant Audrey Sheffield: Saturday's enrichment activity encouraged Boltz to get into the pond to fish for apples. Of all the wolves, Boltz seemed to enjoy the apples the most, eating three and even caching one. Both Boltz and Luna are bothered most by biting flies because their yearling coats are thinner than the adults' coats. Boltz will snap at flies, spin around, then run tuck-tailed into the den for relief. A new fly deterrent spray tried on Sunday shows some promise for relief from the relentless flies. Boltz continues to test Aidan when an opportunity arises. Luna and Aidan wre observed doing some gentle jaw-sparring, while laying sphinx-style. Boltz ran over from the den and proceeded to ride-up on Aidan and mouth Aidan on the back of the neck. Aidan put up with this behavior until Boltz continued to try to assert himself. Aidan stood up and walked away from Boltz.
