As Malik's photo notes, Shadow has again been reluctant to allow staff to deliver fly ointment. In the last few weeks, the biting flies are starting to be a problem, so alternatives are being investigated. He did allow staff to apply ointment on Sunday, by using bacon at the gate with a staff member holding the fly ointment behind. He only falls for this trick once… He also has been interested in the sled dog pups presence on site, he licked one of the puppies when it was brought to the edge of the fence. Both he and Maya will make good surrogate parents in 2008.
