luna – Jan 4, 2013 12:00 AM

Luna continues to have some stiff moments after she rests for a long period of time, but she is very active. I think the cold is an issue, but she frequently uses the straw beds to insulate her from the compacted snow. When she’s active, she is extremely mobile and agile, defending food, scent rolling and lunging after anyone who tries to take her food cache. The fortunate thing is that we are past the solstice, so days are getting longer, the sun is getting warmer and even though we have months of winter ahead, if we can get her to lie down in a straw bed, her black coat absorbs heat better than any of the other wolves.
