Break Through

Today we had a huge break-through with Daisy. Natalie and Jon spent some time scratching her through the fence. She really enjoyed that human interaction. Afterwards, they went into her enclosure and Daisy went right up to Nat letting her scratch her and enjoyed licking Nat's face as a sign of greeting & submission. Later, Daisy let me scratch her through the fence and she sniffed my hand. When placing the dogs in the enclosure next to her, she gets so excited and happy. She wags her tail and runs back and forth trying to engage Elvis in play. I really think the time she has spent next to my dogs has been good for her. She may even do best with a young male wolf dog or dog as apposed to another wolf. The energy seems to work. The other wolves are too intense for her and she's not ready for that. What's also interesting, when I take my dogs out to go to the bathroom, she barks at them. Not out of fear but like a wolf that's stuck between nature and domestication. Compared to the last time I was here, she's settled down tremendously and seems much happier.
Talk to you on the next trip!
All my best,
Jennifer :-)
