Pipoon and Max are in the pen. He's a real gentleman compared to most males I have.
I think the pups will be born around my birthday. That'd be cool.
It's snowing here rightnow. Nice big fluffy flakes, swirling and twirling rightnow but small flakes earlier. probably again later. With winds from 20MPH to 40MPH it looks like blizzard on the lee side of the house when the snow gets blown off the roof. Definitely "wood fire" heat weather.
I got freaked out last night. My dogs were making a racket about midnight. It wasn't like when a stray comes around. I knew something was up by the way they were barking and yelping and yowling. I got my headlight and on second thought grabbed my big flashlight.
The dogs quit making a racket, but I was halfway there anyway.
For an odd reason I stopped at the feed shack and grabbed the hatchet. Now keep in mind there is a trail through the bush to a clearing where I keep my dogs, the feed shack and the gear hut.
When I got to the clearing I put my headlight on. The dogs of course knew I was there but some kept looking south. Ooooo, forgot to mention there was a south wind.
I circumnavigated the area and then walked upwind for a bit then saw eyes reflecting. I instantly got the willies. I knew it wasn't a coyote wolf or deer by the height and color of the reflection. It was a cougar. I didn't go any further. I just backed up closer. When it looked away I started backing up towards the dogs. The next time I saw the reflections it was about a hundred yards further east of where I first saw it. I had seen that color reflections and movements before. Never saw one in daylight. Freaked me out. So I turned around and quite quickly walked back to the dogs knowing they would be OK.
Well that's my news for the day.
TTFN. Going to a hockey game. Catch up to y'all later.
