grizzer – Jun 6, 2004 12:00 AM

He seems to be more comfortable with having the pen cleaned. He was very playful with Groan and Nubee during the cleaning. Grizz was whining and begging for the bottle while Nubee was being fed. During an interaction with Nubee, he seemed to allow her to dominate. Grizz was very anxious during a special Girl Scout morning program. He was continually at the gate wanting to get out. He may have been too hot in the pup pen due to the morning sun coming through the windows. Griz handled the introduction of the fan (for cooling) really well. (Staff decided to use a fan in the auditorium to cool the puppies off.) Wolf Care and Program staff will lower shades in the auditorium to lessen the morning sun, hopefully this will cool things off. During the 11:00 program, Griz was exploring the puppy pen and did well. Nubee exhibited some dominance behaviors over Griz by grabbing his neck and standing over him. Grizz also did well during the 1:00 program. He interacted with Nubee and played with a pine cone and piece of deer hide. He appeared to be relaxed and at ease. During the 3:00 program, Grizz did well in the first part of the program, and was very interested in the beaver tail. He interacted with both Groan and Nubee. Grizz was persistently pursuing Nubee's bottle, ignoring his weening formula.
