grizzer – Jun 17, 2004 12:00 AM
Today Grizz is 43 days old. His physical features continue to take on the wolf characteristics-elongated muzzle, long legs, etc. His eyes are also starting to lighten in color. During the pup pen cleaning early in the morning, the pups are taken into the auditorium to run around with their leashes on, in order to begin conditioning them to wearing a leash for future programs. In the auditorium, Grizz whines when he sees Shadow and Malik at the window and attempts to climb up to the windowsill to see them. He appears to be doing better during pup programs and has been chewing on stimulus items such as beaver feet and beaver tail. He shows increasing signs of wanting to be outside by trying to climb up to windowsill and pup pen gate. Pups are taken out everyday to outdoor enclosure, and Grizz enthusiastically greets Shadow & Malik at the shared fenceline. He has been exploring the den dug previously and will attempt to dig in it and lay in it with his packmates. Grizz seems to submit to Nyssa during domination attempts.
