denali – Jun 1, 2009 12:00 AM

Denali is looking more lean and long since he started shedding. He has also displayed more carefree running behavior, showing his speed. He is still right in the mix of everything, and enjoys the new management of a mid-week feeding. He's been very active in the pond, searching for minnows placed in the pond to help with the algae problem. We are installing a barley straw container on Monday morning. This is a PVC tube chained to a concrete block to allow water to flow through the barley straw, which in turn traps bacteria and reduced algae growth. Our hope is that Denali doesn't decide to dive for it. We will be watching carefully all day on Monday.
