grizzer – Sep 7, 2009 12:00 AM

To say that Grizzer is getting attention from all sides would be an understatement. Shadow's dominating with more intensity, possibly due to a compensation for his age and naturally declining physical condition as a 10-year old, or in response to the construction, which has Shadow on edge. Regardless of the reason, Shadow is very dominant over Grizzer, Denali sees this as an opportunity to try out his testing skills, and Malik is an opportunist. Maya occasionally shows her status to Grizzer in a passing growl, or with a lunge jump to Grizzer's head. The only pack mate that doesn't try to assert dominance is Aidan, who's a bit busy with Maya to climb rank. It's a good thing that Grizzer is such a calm personality. He submits readily to Shadow, chases Malik when he's had enough, is starting to pin Denali, ignores Maya and serves as a reassurance to Aidan.
