As the spring approaches, the pen is getting muddy and wet. The snow melt has filled the pond, but the frozen ground doesn't allow for drainage. So for the time being, the wolves have a half-filled pond that freezes at night and thaws during the day. Grizzer likes the mornings when he can walk on the ice and pounce on it, watching the ice move under the force of his full weight. He's not big on getting his feet wet, so he's usually a morning pond visitor. When the ground thaws and the snowmelt drains, the pond will be washed, filters and pumps installed and the waterfall from the upper pond will return. Grizzer was always a big fan of the waterfall, even sliding down the falls when he was first introduced into the pack.
