maya – Jun 17, 2004 12:00 AM

Today Maya is 43 days old. She is quickly becoming weaned from the bottle to weaning formula. In the past week, she has appeared to be less dominant over Grizz and Nyssa and more tolerant of their domination attempts. When she is in the auditorium during pen cleaning or in the outdoor pup pen, she greets Shadow and Malik enthusiastically with a wagging tail and flat ears. Maya exhibits more confidence in new situations than Grizz and Nyssa and does not appear to be bothered by large crowds during programs.
