MacKenzie has been shedding slowly, but she’s finally at that point of displaying a glossy summer coat, just in time for Labor Day. We have determined that her tolerance for large meals seems to be an issue. While she enjoys eating a full beaver and deer legs, the large volume that she generally consumes is putting a bit of a weight strain on her spine. We have been transitioning the Retired Pack to twice a week feedings for the last 6 months, and now will reduce the food sizes and feed 4 – 5 days a week. While behaviorally, MacKenzie would rather possess a deer leg or beaver and consume the whole amount, physically, it’s not her in best interest. It will be an interesting transition for the Retired Pack.
