shadow – Jun 1, 2013 12:00 AM

As the Curator for the Center, I spend the most time with the wolves, and since Shadow and Malik are the oldest and Shadow is dominant, we can assume I have spent the most time with Shadow. Since I've been a bit under the weather lately, Shadow is the wolf that seems to pick up on the difference. I must be careful about all the wolves because this sign of weakness can lead to a challenge, but from the 13 year old retired wolf, the connection seems to be more of a calm, resting posture than one of testing behavior. There may be some sympathy from one set of old bones to another.
