Shadow hasn't had much news to report, he's still particular about who and how his food is delivered, and he tolerates Malik's posturing, but his generally in good spirits. We are observing constant marking behavior when new straw is delivered, but it's not the marking behavior that's the issue, it's the scrape that follows. Shadow manages to scrape most of the straw back off the den within minutes of the delivery. He has wolf care staff fairly trained to pick it up multiple times a day.
