Morning "meatballs", then it was off to all our other jobs. I got out of butchering again because I made up the binders for Clive Wynne's seminar(YAY menial tasks and no blood!!!!!!). It again was almost as easy as the newsletters, all of the binders had the pamphlet name tags, names on the front, a map of Lafayette, and a certificate saying the completed the seminar. I also went online and checked the calender on the Wolf Park website for any errors on the dates. After that the deer had be butchered and we enjoyed a nice lunch. After lunch our intern fun day continued with garbage and ended with "Meatballs" After we were all finished with the days work us interns, most of Clive's group, and a few staff members all went out to Bombay Indian Restaurant.
Thursday-
Today we didn't have to do morning "meatballs" because a couple of the interns were doing it. When I got up this morning I found a mouse caught in a mouse trap, but it was caught it's leg so it wasn't dead(It ended up running away in the house again). Anyways after that we set up for Clive's seminar which took a while, then set up for a board meeting that will be happening tomorrow. The rest of the day went pretty smoothly, Josh and I went down to visit the foxes and I got some really good pictures of Ember(Devon didn't want to come out today). We also got to help with one of Clive's students research. It was a point experiment with the wolves. I filmed it with their camera. It was interesting, but it was very cold out today. After that we did evening "meatballs" and when we got back to IRV I got my care package that grandma Gaye sent(YAY!!!!!!!)
I've been reading the book of Jurassic Park and so far I've found it very interesting!!!!!!
Pics: (YAY it finally working!!!!!")
Alya: I really love this pic of Alya, she's a very sweet girl and is living by herself right now, but usually lives with two other wolves Tristan and Renki
Kiri: This is Kiri, He's the oldest wolf here and he just loves food, of any kind, he reminds me a lot of a corgi, and instead of howling he rues, which is just so adorable
Dharma: This is our puppy here at Wolf Park. I got puppy kisses from her my very she first day her. Since she is the "puppy" around here she hasn't really taken a place in the main pack yet, but the staff thinks she will become the new Alpha female when she stops being a puppy.
Willow: This is on of our Coyotes here and she goes by the name of Willow. Don't let this picture fool you she enjoy to enjoy the heck out of Twister her companion and also enjoys the art of stalking
Twister: Twister is a Coyote that some people might think has a high temper, he gets annoyed with Willow any time us interns are around and also doesn't like you to mess with his water
Meatballs: This are the meatballs we put medication in to feed to the wolves we use many things to make the meatballs, most wolves get hot dogs since we get them free, plus most of the wolves that get hot dogs don't get medicine. other meatball substances include dog food, summer sausage, cheese, and cream cheese
Love the pictures, Maggie - especially the one of Alya!
