another new addition....


The musk ox calves are getting big!  they are finally out for the public to see and they are loving the attention.  I also had a very important person visit me a few weeks ago.  Devin, my boyfriend, was just enjoying getting to feed these guys.

Chugach and Wrangle must weigh almost 60 pounds now!



We are also seeing some of their personalities come out.  wrangle seems to be the more personal one that tries to nurse off of everyone.  Chugach will definitely be the more aggressive one.











The whole week Devin was visiting the rain was pouring...but we still made the best of it.  We went on the 26 Glacier Cruise that goes out of Whittier.






 I believe this glacier behind us is called "Surprise Glacier".  Parts of the bay had so much ice that we actually couldn't get to some of the glaciers.





 So If you remember the ball that I gave to mukluk, a musk oxen, it's back!  I introduced it to this summers calves and they loved it!!!





ok so finally to the reason of this blog's title...we have a fox kit!  Our local vet examined her and determined her to be about 3 months old.  We first named her Brooks to go with the alaskan mountain range theme.  however, then Scott mentioned maybe naming her Jade.....we immediately liked that.  So we landed on Jade brooks.  So another JB has been added to the center.
 Today we introduced Jade to her new enclosure for now.  We used our baby gates to make a square enclosure in our intern kitchen.

                          We added toys, towels for chewing, and bags for her to go through.
