maya – May 18, 2008 12:00 AM

After a long winter, the water line finally thawed while we were at the Wildlife Science Center picking up the pups. We were surprised to return to Ely at 1:30 in the morning to find the pond full. We haven’t had a chance to install the pump or rake straw, but at least the pack has water if the daytime temperatures get too hot prior to their complete shedding. Maya is very stimulated by the pups to whine in a social response, as well as Shadow. We are certain that these two will make great surrogate parents.
