Day 31, 32, 33, and 34

Thursday Matt and I went along with Caity to pick up a shelf from the closing Borders. Got all the shelves from the book shelf stacked on me. Didn't ended up getting very far because they were very slippery(and heavy). Got back to Wolf Park and  then we helped out in the Butterfly garden where Kayla and Josh were working already. Broke for lunch and then it was back to work in the butterfly garden(mostly consisted of weeding). Worked on varnishing the shelves again, after that was done went back to Irv. Marco Erich and Peggy's dog stayed with us while they were in Kokomo, Indiana. Matt and Josh went out, Kayla set up some practical jokes(not very funny). Later that night(technically the next day) Josh and Matt got home. Matt found his door locked and though it wouldn't open. Got mad at Kayla and woke her up. The tension in the house had been growing Kayla had said that Matt was lazy behind his back, Kayla had also told us we didn't get the movie Suckerpunch because we didn't like it, along with those things and her other strong opinions about thinks(God, Canada being better than the U.S, etc) made Matt just finally get fed up with it. As it turned out the door was locked, but would open.

The next day was very tension filled. Kayla was pissed at Matt, but everybody else though it was kind of funny because everybody had been getting annoyed with her(myself included). My thought of it was door at three o'clock in the morning wasn't the best idea, but on the other hand she had been kind of rude to him for the past few weeks and everybody was complaining about her attitude and since it was April fools day when they got back, Matt knew Kayla would of been the only one to lock her door(although she didn't acutally do this she had done other pranks for the staff to find) and he was fed up with her, so it was hard to feel sorry for Kayla... Matt had "meatballs", so he went off to do that. At nine a pissed off Kayla told us we needed to start working on the Easter egg project. We told her we were going to wait on Matt(Josh was making pancakes), she walked of in a huff to start it without all of us. After we ate pancakes we joined Kayla(you cold feel the tension). The eggs took a while we watched the full live action Super Mario Bros movie and also watched some of  Get Smart. After a late lunch played with Ryan's dog for a while because Kayla and Josh were butchering. Dana got Kayla and asked me to help Josh with the butchering, I of course said okay I was just kind of confused why the needed Kayla specifically for a task. Josh and I finished feed and then we wet to get the recycling and trash for Erich's house and Dana called and said she need to talk to us. She told us that Kayla had been caught sticking her fingers through the fence of the wolf enclosures(this is the number one no no of Wolf Park) and was being sent home... Kayla asked us which one of had told on her(Apparently Holly told her one of us told her that Kayla had done this, she had before and Matt and Josh let Dana know, but that was the very first week we were here), she left without really saying goodbye... Went and got pizza and went to Tom's house and watched Clerks...

Got up and did my "meatball" duty in the morning. Got back to house and then Matt, Josh, and I went to help work on digging a hole for the soon to be lighting of the Wolf Park Sign. Had lunch and then it was time for the first Saturday that we would be open(Wolf Park will be open from 1:00- 5:00 for tours every Saturday), spent 3 hours on the cash registers then had a couple of hours before Howl Night. Howl Night went well though it was getting rather cold by then end... Went to LBC's after Howl Night, then went to bed...

Sunday, got up... Went to Walmart took a while for my debit card to work because of the machine... Went to Dana's that night for pizza and movies for Matt's last night at Wolf Park... Watched the last half of blade and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles....

  1. Wow- that's crazy! You didn't tell me about that when we spoke on the phone earlier. How do you feel about Kayla being asked to leave? Wasn't she your room mate when you first came to the park? Is it awkward being with just the guys now? I hope everything becomes less weird and tense with her gone...

  2. Wow, you really have a lot of drama going there! This could be a big reality series someday, a very good source of publicity and income for the wolf park. Maybe you could combine some elements from 'Glee', and the wolves could be star singers? What plants are in your butterfly garden, do you know? Some things are blooming here already, but no butterflies yet.

  3. I'm sorry there's been so much tension going on there, Mags. It's always tough when someone is asked to leave, even if it makes the overall situation easier. Was Kayla working on a school project that will be impacted by this? It sure sounds like you've been working hard and learning a lot. I imagine things will get even busier over the next few weeks, but I'm sure you'll continue to enjoy it.

  4. Chelsea- How do I feel about her being asked to leave? Well I was her own fault for getting thrown out... I think it might of been for the best that she did get thrown out. Being with just guys won't be hard, but Matt's internship just ended so It'll just be Josh and I for the next month, so it will be a lot more work for the 2 of us, but it won't be that bad...

    Uncle Nick- I'm not sure what's growing in the butterfly garden, nothing in the garden is acutally growing yet though so we'll see...

    Grandma- No Kayla wasn't working on a project, so it didn't impact her in that way, but she doesn't get the certificate which we get for completing our internships here so I guess that impacts her. She made a mistake and is paying for it now...
