Grizzer with his summer pelage

It took a while, but Grizzer finally shed his winter coat and is showing the sleek posture of a summer pelage.  Note what appears to be an oversized head compared to the winter photo of a complimentary neck of hair.  I was recently asked if Grizzer will have some anxiety with the pups moving into the Exhibit Pack.  Certainly, Grizzer has been communicating with the pups through whining, howling, visual contact and getting the benefit of pup leftovers.  But, Grizzer’s most stimulating activity is spending time in the pack holding area and the sooner the pups go into the Exhibit, the sooner Grizzer’s life will return to normal.
