Started pond pump today, Malik and Shadow began digging at pump box. Staff was instructed to watch for signs of them showing interest in the leaf net or filter through the door to the pump housing. Most of the pump housing is covered in rocks so the wolves can't move them, but there is a doorway where water circulates to the pump, and if the wolves lay down and stretch their leg, they can reach the leaf net, designed to catch leaves before they reach the pump. It's always a challenge to out-think the wolves and guess what they are likely to bother. Now that Malik and Shadow have entered their second year, I hope the term Terrible Two's doesn't apply to wolves.
