nyssa – Jun 27, 2004 12:00 AM

Today Nyssa is 46 days. She has been greeting the arctics at the shared fenceline, she was whining with tucked tail and then she ran to staff for comfort/reassurance. Nyssa did well in the 11 am program. She was kept occupied with pig ear during presentation and then fell asleep for rest of program. At the 1 pm program, Nyssa was anxious throughout the entire program. It may have been due to the heat in the auditorium. She was distracted momentarily with a beaver tail, fruit, and pig ear. Nyssa has been exploring the overnight pup kennel. She has been sleeping and lying in the dogloo. It should be cautioned that Nyssa can crawl underneath the overnight kennel doors. Nyssa slept throughout most of the 3 pm program. She has been reacting with fear when introduced to new people, either nannies or staff. She growled at a new nanny, she did not wanted to get close to the gate and greet. Ears were flat back and tail tucked.
