lucas – Oct 4, 2004 12:00 AM

Lucas is doing well, again as I write this, I can see he and Lakota playing a little game of chase in the retired exhibit. Lucas is a bit slower, and tends to wait for Lakota to circle around the den boxes. He then tackles her before she can turn around. Lucas is still using Lakota's dirt piles in front of the den box to climb on the top of the box. He was always prone to sitting on the webrock in the main exhibit, so it's nice to see him back on top in the Retired Exhibit. Again, the view from my office window: Lakota just started a howl, and Lucas started to stalk her and did a play bow enticing Lakota to chase him. They're now wagging tails, and running in and out of the den boxes. Lucas and Lakota both in one box makes for close quarters. Last night was the first hard frost here, the wolves seem to know when winter (what seems to be their favorite season) is approaching.
