We've been holding off reporting on MacKenzie until we observed her for a few days with the lower dose medication. On Thursday, the girls were given some cornish game hens and a turkey, as MacKenzie's appetite is very good. On Friday morning, we came in to find MacKenzie guarding her turkey cache and asserting dominance over Lakota with just a stern glance of the eye and Lakota rolled over. She was mobile, but not as active as the days following the initial response of the higher dose of drugs. Her stability seems to be better, but when she's turning around, she sometimes looses support. We are most impressed with her attitude and willingness to interact with both Lakota and Staff. We will continue to keep you posted and to the many people that asked, we are having discussions about the inevitable loss of one of the retired wolves and the management plan for a remaining lone wolf.
