While the pup introduction was a major event, we must remember that Lakota had a special day as well. With the pups integrated into the pack, Lakota now has free range of the pack holding are at all times, except when the pack is held for projects or feeding programs. Also, with the wolf lab being restricted to wolf care staff and authorized volunteers, she can come and go in the wolf yard anytime during the day. She has her routine, coming out when wolf care staff arrive in the morning, then making a few visits during the mid-day. She spends the heat of the day in the Retired Enclosure staying cool, sometimes in her dug den hole. Then, as the evening progresses, she's back to the wolf yard to spend a quiet evening with the staff and get her evening meal (hand fed now, and it better be unique)… Then, she decides when she goes to bed, usually at 9 or 10 pm. At night, the gates are closed to the wolf yard, and she is safely locked in the Retired Enclosure until the morning.
