shadow – Nov 1, 2004 12:00 AM

The following was written by Susan Myers, a participant in the Workin' for Wolves weekend – October 2004. Being the Alpha male, Shadow seemed to have a rather stressful weekend with all of the activity of the work projects and the volunteers milling about. Between the dump truck arriving twice to unload rocks and the backhoe intruding upon their enclosure and moving things about as well as volunteers walking around the enclosure while he was locked up, he seemed to be at his wit's end. He bark-howled several times indicating a defensive behavior protecting his pack. Also, his ears continue to bother him. He was resistive to staff administering medication, even when Spirit, a volunteer dog was used as a diversion. Shadow most definitely let his feelings be known.
