When he was a pup, Kiri was very friendly with people, but had a tendency to attach himself to and hang from them on occasion... For this he earned the name of "Black Jaws of Death" for he would often attach those black jaws to a pant leg whenever a handler would try to leave the pen. Kiri also loves water and has the tendency to get quite muddy. For this we have nicknamed him "The Mook Monster" or just "Mookie." He is also often called "Kiri-Cheese" for unbeknownst to our Director, Dr. Klinghammer, who named him, Kiri is also a type of French cheese. Kiri is also very large, topping the scales at least 110 pounds. Socrates - Born in 1993 to Altair and Chinook, Socrates is a gray male wolf who, like his father, has a bit of "edge" on him. However, he does sometimes enjoy rolling over and having his tummy rubbed by the staff. Although he was sometimes 'difficult' with people, Socrates was not a social climber like his brother Kiri who quickly became assertive over him while still a pup. Best of friends/worst of enemies, these two brothers however never really managed to clearly establish rank between them while in the pack. However, following being driving out by Orca shortly after their father's death in the summer of 1996, Kiri eventually was able to formally assert himself over his smaller brother. Of course having a 30 pound advantage did not hurt Kiri's dominance struggle either. Despite Kiri's obvious dominance, Socrates still does not have much respect for his brother. `lns |
