More Critters 20 January, 2009 at 10:15 pm

So, last week at one point when we were going to the store I saw a shape dart out from the woods.

This time, it was a red fox. Looked like it might be about K’s size. I should probably quit taking him out without his leash if there’s foxes roaming around. It’s hard enough getting him to come back when he goes haring off after a rabbit …

But it’s still cool!

Well no WONDER he barks … 12 October, 2008 at 10:04 am

So a while ago I was out with K for his evening sabbatical. I usually just take him up our side of the street in the evening for a short walk instead of crossing to the wooded path. I happened to glance across the street and a deer standing at the edge of the wood. It stood there for a while, and K watched it, and it suddenly bounded back into the woods.

Well, heck, no WONDER he barks at those woods so often when we’re walking! I figured he was hearing squirrels or something!

As we were headed home, the deer came back out, followed by 2 or three more. They crossed the street (Funny thing: they were crossing a corner, and instead of going diagonal, like i was anticipating, they actually crossed one street, turned 90-degrees, and crossed the second one!!!) and bounded into the woods at the end of our street.

I guess maybe there’s deer in the woods :o That’s cool
