I realize the focus this week has been on the tragedy of Nyssa, but the wolf care staff continues to care for all wolves on site, including the needs of the retired pack. MacKenzie appears to be gaining weight again and is very relaxed during wolf checks. This is a good sign, as one of the main behavioral observations during her recent issues, was the obsessive focus on food resources and agitated state. I look forward to the summer season with the return of Donna Prichard and Joyce Riveroll to the Wolf Care team, and the added hours of behavioral observation these two can provide.
