The following log was written by outgoing Nanny Team Leader Theresa Williams:<br> Denali really likes to be on top of the picnic table. It was a great place to nap today with his brother. He does very well during the program. He either sleeps thru them or chews on the items brought in for them. Today, he tried to cache a venison brat on his pillow. His guard hairs are showing more and more each day, giving us a glimpse of this future coloration.

The following logs were written by Nannies, Vicki Bomberger and Lynne Haines. <br> Both pups were active during the programs. During the 5:00 PM program a microphone fell creating large feedback. Both pups ran outside the auditorium, however, Denali returned quickly to the beaver carcass that had been provided for distraction during the program. Aidan returned to the auditorium after a few minutes with a little bit of coaxing. It is important that they both returned to the auditorium after the initial fear. It was a very good socializing response. Denali ignored the bark-howling Shadow exhibited during the evening. Both pups were digging for cached food just before the evening feeding.

Written by Nanny Team Members Vicki & Art Bomberger: Denali and Aiden alternated between hard play and deep naps all day. At 7:45 PM last night, the pups were given a 6.6 pound deer leg. Aiden had shown little interest in food all day, but when the deer leg was introduced both pups were immediately on the deer leg. The pups had not shown any food possession with the cut up venison or chicken, but were very possessive of the deer leg. At 6 am Aidan was still working on the deer leg while Denali was still sleeping.

Written by Nanny Team Members Sherrel Grabler and Lynne Haines: Both pups were very hungry this morning. Aidan consumed 5.3 oz. of chicken and 5 oz. of pure venison shortly after 6 am. Aidan weighed in at 29.9 lbs following his morning feed, a 9/10th lb gain . Aidan was relatively calm during the vet’s visit. He did not display any signs of fear avoidance and received his examination and vaccinations without incident. During both Behind The Scenes programs, Aidan remained calm, yet inquisitive. When Lori Schmidt demonstrated howling with the Ambassador pack during the morning program, both pups ran towards their pup enclosure. Aidan eventually approached Lori after the howling demonstration, seeking reassurance. Throughout the day, both pups cached, dug up, and consumed each other’s cached food.

Log written by Alexis and Kerry Sharp: Early in the morning, Denali was very active and would incite play chasing after Aidan, with Aidan submitting belly up to Denali twice. Also, when the ambassador pack howled in chorus throughout the day, Denali was quick to respond with his own howl from the pup enclosure. During an evening chorus, Denali’s howling was cut short when Aidan performed a squash on Denali’s head.

Written by Nanny Team Leader Kelly Godfrey: Denali was very active in the morning program. He spent much of the time trying to steal a beaver tail from Aidan, and was finally successful by squashing Aidan. His greater weight allows him to get his way more often than not.

Maya continues to be the most social, frequently whining at the pups. Her interaction with Shadow continues to be submissive, but Shadow is very possessive of the pups. Maya walked next to the fence between Shadow and the pups and he did a hard muzzle bite and growled intensely. Maya submitted, but never moved from the pups, Shadow eventually walked away.

The following logs were written by Nanny Team Leader Theresa Williams:<br> By Theresa Williams The day started off really nice and the pups were playful and full of energy but during the last program, it began to rain and it was a bit harder to get the pups outside after the program ended. Aidan found the ‘hut’ right away and went inside to get dry. The pool inside of the pup pen was cleaned this afternoon and Aidan went right in before the water was full to splash around then into the den to get all muddy. A brave Chipmunk entered the pen to find a very focused wolf pup stalking it. The Chipmunk escaped.

Written by Heather Hoff, Nanny team member: <br> Today was a pretty mellow day for Denali. New straw was put down in the pup enclosure to entice the pups to be in view of the webcam. Denali enjoyed playing in & rolling around in the new straw for a bit then spent most of the day sleeping in his new straw bed. The pool was emptied, rinsed out and re-filled with fresh water. Denali came over to investigate while the tub was on it’s side then went back to romp around in the enclosure – including a favorite spot for both pups – the den area.
