Otter, Otter! Can't You See I'm Burnin', Burnin'!
I was out for a canoe this morning and I rounded a point and found a bunch of otters messing around. I've never seen otters in the wild, so I decided to see how close I could get and they were too busy having fun to notice me until it was too late! I was less than ten metres from them when one sort of perked up, looked over and hissed/chattered at me. Then they swam off, looking back at me, glaring. You know that they're otteriffic!
It was wildlife action all weekend, we also saw some deer on the way up (including the buck, pictured) and the cousins spotted a bear ... on the road we'd been walking on an hour before. In the dark. Without a flashlight. Dressed as Bajorans.
We went for a hike around the mega-beaver-dam complex: 7 dams including the massive mofo pictured above that stretches out to about 50 metres long. You know that saying, "Busy as a beaver?" Well, apparently that's just a myth, like suicidal lemmings. In reality, beavers hire sub-contractors. Aren't animals amazing?
It was a little chilly, which is why I have a big, furry dawg. He ain't heavy, he's my dawggie.
Zack had heapin' helpings of his favourite things over the weekend: people, other dogs and the wilderness. And swimming, there was some frigid swimming. The foreign exchange student even taught him some German (don't worry, he didn't mention the war!).
And that was Thanksgiving. Tonight we hauled ass back to the big city. I think we all learned an important lesson!
