Luna’s Birthday 25 March 2017

Luna and Boltz had a birthday last month, while both received a special deer head treat from the wolf care staff, Luna got a special treat in the mail.  Luna has been adopted by many, but one special group of adopters sent her a gift on her birthday.  The students from the Little Tree Hugger’s school in Leesburg, Virginia sent Luna a special can of food, some farmer’s medley milk bones and a special “Happy Birthday” bone.  They also adopted Grayson and Aidan, who already have treats waiting for their birthday.  Birthday’s are a special time to remember the many pack interactions and behaviors that shape our management decisions.  For Luna, you may be seeing on the webcam her alone on the east side.  This decision was made to help reduce any extra activity for Grizzer’s back leg.  Until the ice melts and we can get a better diagnosis of his issue,   it’s best that these “new found friends” see each other through the fences for a period of time.  We hope it will be a short retreat.  Luna does well by herself and staff have been able to take advantage of this relaxing time to increase interactions and massage work on her leg.
