the wolf puppies.

the zoo in new york is i think the third oldest in the country. and of course they have lions and tigers and bears and penguins and leopards and tiny baby golden monkeys and some really stinky - what were they? - i don't know, ocelots or something, and other random zoo creatures. But. They have this huge spectacular wolf park with a little mirrored room at the bottom of the hill that you walk into and then the wolves trot along by because it's next to the den, which is just to the right under a nice pile of rocks, and then there's a boardwalk along the top of the hill with twenty-five cent binocular-machines to look at all the nice fuzzy wolves. And m likes wolves. A little bit. Kind of. Lots and lots. so we went to the zoo and saw the lions and tigers and bears and leopards and tiny baby golden monkeys (which were very cute, but not quite as cute, I thought, as the tiny baby black-and-white monkeys) and then we went to the wolf enclosure. they have several gray wolves (which of course were wild and noble and elegant and solemn) and several smaller red wolves as well as several extra-smaller red wolf puppies. the red wolf puppies are small and happy and cute and playful and they run around for a little while and then disappear for a bit (presumably to take a nap in a hole somewhere) and then wake up and play tag for a while more. it's adorable. daddy-wolf paces in, i think, exactly the same way you always see new dads pacing in tv hospital waiting rooms.
