boychild.
Kid-"Mum,I'm at the bottom of the road and
an animal just walked across.I can't tell if its
a cougar or a deer. It's hiding in the bushes"
Me-"Whaaa??? You can't tell the difference
between a cougar and a deer!?"
Kid-"It's DARK! and the thing was kinda
slinking!
Me-" Want me to come out and watch you
walk up?"
Kid-"Thats what I was thinking"
So I grab my ever trusty hockey stick and
after checking over my shoulder into the
yard for lurking wild animals(I was more
concerned about bears,considering I've
been reading a book on them)I head out onto
the road. I don't see anything so I start tapping
the hockey stick on the road(I'm sure the neighbors
LOVE me!) hoping to flush out whatever it is.
Soon enough out pops..a deer! It's now trapped
between the child and I,lol. Lovely! We've found the
deer here to be pretty gentle but still..a wild animal
is a wild animal! It does a little panic dance,then
dashes off into the hillside and the kid walks up
without incident.
I thought it was an amusing way to end the day!
The cougars must not be doing their job because
we are absolutely over-run with deer. This fellow
came to visit me this morning.
That sure is a handsome face! Of course they don'thelp the tick population..heh,I should call Mr.
Conservation officer on these guys. They,not the
cougars are the real scurge..but don't get me
started on THAT!
The boychild is sick with the flu...He's sleeping
right now and I'm keeping my eye on him. I am
washing my hands nine hundred trillion times
and wiping down every surface I can think of with
bleach! Hopefully,this is just a mild case..I'm going
to have to go out and get supplies,plus I'm out
of catfood..AGAIN,Gggrrr.
ANyway,think of us while you're walking around
all healthy;p
