Denali – Life has been Easier

Despite some attention from Axel and Grayson, Denali has had an easier winter season with Aidan’s loss of confidence.  In the past, when Aidan wasn’t confident enough to take on some of the testing juveniles, he always had the confidence to assert status over Denali and would redirect on a daily basis.  Since mid-January, Denali no longer has that control and seems to take this freedom to reassert some status over Grayson.  Needless to say, this transition has been hard for Grayson.  Not only did Grayson have the strongest bonds with Aidan, but he also sought comfort in having Aidan control some of the exuberance within the pack.  By the show of Denali’s T-1 tail posture and the excitement of a tail-wagging rally, Denali is the likely instigator of some of that exuberant pack behavior.
