lakota – Jun 3, 2007 12:00 AM

Written by Planning for Pups participants, Cathy Jents, Andi Nelsen, Laura Walters: During the Planning for Pups program, Lakota was noted to be spending more time in the den box, but during wolf care checks, she readily greeted staff. The retired pack has not started to shed their winter coat which has been a benefit in preventing insect bites, but a hinderance in keeping cool with recent high humidity and increased temperatures. The increased heat may have affected her appetite as half of the beaver was left in the morning. Compared to the Working for Wolves weekend, both Lakota and Mackenzie appeared relax and comfortable.
