Jack has grown into a beautiful coyote. He has filled out nicely as he eats a lot more than when he first arrived. He eats just about everything in sight. Jack was taken to the vet for his vasectomy since ICRC doesn't breed. His x-rays showed that his bones were well defined. This means the treatment of Jack's metabolic bone disorder was successful. He also weighed in at thirty pounds.
Jack is becoming very destructive in the house, so the time has come to soon have him outside with everyone else. Jack has a secure enclosure. That is always a sad day. I will miss him cuddling with me to get under the covers and nibble-grooming my feet to wake me up every morning in time to give early meds, but I know that outside is where he belongs.
ICRC socializes the coyotes which they care for. This make their lives less stressful with the care and handling by humans. Part of the socialization process involves having the puppy inside so they become accustomed to civilization instead of freaked out by it.
