If Lakota was having a good week, then we would say that MacKenzie had a great week. Staff observed MacKenzie in some very social behavior, and some dominance behavior. It is great to see the social dynamics of these two as they reach 15 years of age. One questions asked of us, is when do you know if the older wolves are declining and would consider euthanasia. Our response is, as long as the wolves are demonstrating social interactive behavior, and the pains of old age are under control, we will continue to support these two wolves that have given so much to the visitors to the Center. I would also like to make a note to the Nannies selected for this year’s pups. We are still juggling teams, and once the teams are set, we will send out a briefing packet to each team member (probably by email), so teams can have some opportunity to converse prior to arrival and possibly offer to carpool to Ely.
