Oh my god, life has been insane since the exhibit opened. It's a miracle I still have a voice from how much I talk all day, every day. The wolves are incredibly popular, and they're gradually adapting to the crowds and becoming more social. It's good to see them out and about in their enclosures, and the webcams are full of hits every day, too. People from all over the world watch the wolves in their enclosures, which spreads awareness for their species. I'm really happy about that part, because that means people all over the world care about them and want them and their wild relatives to thrive and prosper.

Now, I need more hot tea. With lemon. And honey.

Keep up the good work!

If it's so strenuous, perhaps a microphone?

[gekidazejanai]

I will!

Yeah, I have one. It's just the fact that I spend pretty much all day at work, and then I talk with Arashi when we get home.

It really is a fantastic exhibit.

Ma has a miracle recipe for sore and overworked throats. I can ask her for it and send it to you later if you want.

[gekidazejanai]

I'm glad you liked it. We worked really hard getting it to be as comfy for the wolves as possible.

Oh my god, that would be amazing of you to do that. Please and thank you in advance!

[sunnycrow]

You work with wolves? That is so cool!!

[gekidazejanai]

Yep! I am head of the wolf program at Ueno Zoo. We have one pair each of the only two subspecies of wolves native to Japan, both of whom were though to be extinct until populations were found on some of the uninhabited islands.

[sunnycrow]

So cooool! I think I'll go to the zoo during obon!

[gekidazejanai]

You should totally come see them. They're awesome.

Please take care of yourself, Shishido-san.

And I am always willing to keep an eye on Arashi when you have to work late.

[gekidazejanai]

Hai, I will.

Thank you so, so much for that. I really appreciate it.

[kabajim]

She's a very good student.

[gekidazejanai]

I'm glad. She's a smart kid, and I'm glad she likes school so much.

[kabajim]

She takes after her father, of course.

[gekidazejanai]

Ha ha, that's generous of you. I was never as enthusiastic as her about school until university.
