Malik is doing well, after the beaver feeding on Wednesday, he shared a beaver with Denali and Aidan with minimal aggression from Denali. For some reason, Malik is behind in shedding, even later than Shadow. He has become more tolerant of brushing, but he will likely not blow his winter coat until mid-late July. Grizzer and Denali have already started growing next winter's undercoat. Fortunately for Malik, the cool damp weather of spring has lingered through the month of June.
