As noted in Lakota's logs, the retired pack turns 15 in April. We are very pleased with MacKenzie's mobility. Her video this week shows a very steady gate and she is very alert to the actions of the wolf yard. We have noticed her sleeping very soundly though. Earlier today, when Wolf Curator, Lori Schmidt, entered the compound at noon to check on the wolves, MacKenzie was sound asleep in the straw in front of the den boxes, it took several calls of her name to get a response. We're not certain if that's a hearing issue or just a very restful sleep. It is nice to note that the Retired Enclosure remains calm enough that these wolves can get the rest they need.
