We are trying many things to reduce some of the external stresses that may cause redirection to the omega and the pack as a whole. The rock project has been going well, instead of a large work crew as planned (we decided against it to reduce the stress to the pack), Assistant curator, Donna Prichard, Information Director, Jess Edberg and I are hauling and concreting the larger stabilizing rocks into the enclosure, with the wolves in the enclosure. The Working for Wolves crew on October 12th, will be hauling in the rip rap rock to layer the edge of the pond. They are very calm when we are working, as they trust the Wolf Care Staff. They actually follow us around with the cart, and watch us grunt and sweat. I think they're rather enjoying the fact that we're working and they're watching. We've not had an incident since last Friday.
