lakota – Sep 13, 2005 12:00 AM

Just when we thought the retired wolves were too old to bother the supplies… On Monday, the stock tank in the retired pack was cleaned and refilled with fresh water. The wolves were all sleeping so, Wolf care staff member Jen Westlund and I left the hose in the pen for a minute to go to the lab to update the wolves logs. From the window, I saw the garden hose getting pulled through the fence. Lakota had taken the hose and played a bit of tug of war with the staff before she was convinced to leave the hose and have a meatball. There were no photos of the incident, because the focus was on getting the hose back. But, a lesson was learned, wolves are curious animals, no matter what the age.
