I saw a wolf trotting across the Wayne State University campus in Detroit. I even made eye contact briefly. That was a large, impressive, and highly out of place animal.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I blame suburbia. (And initially I had capslock on by accident, but maybe I'm not quite that emphatic about it.)

Because books.
No one has been accused of ax-murdering!
You know, yet.
Seeing bears in Yellowstone was an eye-opener, especially since they weren't behind a fence or a plexiglass wall. Stephen got to see a moose, too, and he was surprised at just how huge and intimidating it was.

Well, not convicted anyway.
And aurelia, sheesh, that is big drama!
Y'all know we have lots of elk in our yard. They eat my baby trees. Ooh, and I think we have baby coyotes again.
I dunno, Jesse, you might have some subconscious rage going on there. SUBURBIA!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yays for Gud, Consuela, and msbelle!
Hello, Monica!
Glad that big cat was taken safely home. Biggest animal I've seen in the wild - or not - was a whale, don't know what kind, frolicking in the strait between Washington State and Vancouver Island. We were on the beach and he was as close to it as he could get, possibly watching us with the same glee as we went running along the beach beside him.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh, that reminds me. Technically, the largest feral animals I've seen in a residential area was the herd of bison in San Francisco. Visited them with Hec.

Hahaha, axe-murdering disclaimer crosspost!

In our neighborhood, we have all the usual animal suspects including coyote, plus black bear, mountain lions, bobcats.
So, I was wondering if the mountain lion got Pug the Cat, as I hadn't seen Pug anywhere all afternoon. Alas, he's now outside rolling in the grass. I swear that cat is part cockroach. Luckily, though, we will be packing him up and driving him to Baltimore this summer so he can find a home where he will be loved.
