nyssa – Jun 24, 2004 12:00 AM

Today Nyssa is 43 days old. Like her littermates, Nyssa was very tired and sleepy after playing inthe outdoor pen. She was also rather calm throughout today's programs. When she and her littermates were outside, they stopped by a thawed deer carcass and proceded to chew and gnaw on it. This seemed to trigger their appetite, as they consumed down their weaning formula in a matter of minutes. Nyssa was very aggressive around her littermates and defended the carcass from Maya with ferocity. While Nyssa was in the outside puppy pen, she became very excited when Malik and Shadow were fed deer bones.
