nyssa – Aug 10, 2004 12:00 AM

Nyssa is very independent and was observed sleeping by herself under the building eaves for nearly 5 hours on last nights shift. Nyssa continues to dominate food whenever possible. Today, she was given a deer leg and she defended it from all, even lunging after Malik. Staff also observed her do a full body block to Shadow and Malik while they were dominating each other. While this is only the first day of the observation, staff have noticed that the 2 female pups rarely spend time with each other unless they are in a 3-some. Grizzer spends time with Maya alone or with Nyssa alone and appears to have no preference. Although, Grizzer and Maya more frequently sleep together.
