lakota – Aug 18, 2008 12:00 AM

As I write these logs, Lakota is in and out of the lab, and just walked out with a big bag of pup squeak toys… Of course, wolf care staff go after her to retrieve the bag, which we have decided is probably part of her motivation for taking things. She willingly drops most things she takes, with the exception of good food and the occasional water bottle that she caches. When wolf care staff comes to get what she’s taken, she stops and lays down, expecting a scratch and if she’s lucky a good body massage. This behavior goes on day after day, and is the routine of the day.
