A walk completed
Karl left the bedroom closet about 2 hours after we returned from our walk cut short – and asked to go outside. He went out and picked a usual spot in the snow to lie and survey his territory.
Later, we set off for our usual late afternoon walk. He stopped at the spot where we turned around earlier. I stayed quiet and let him decide. He went on and I followed. I did not see any tracks that were not mine, his or deer but he stayed on my snowshoe path and kept his nose to the ground. When we got to a spot maybe 250 yards from the house he got excited and started off the path. The deep mushy snow was too much – I called him back. He seemed grateful to be called. He was not anxious or overly alert – more curious…sniffing the air and the ground. So…I don’t know, but something was “off” earlier and it appeared there were remnants of it in the air, but we completed our walk uneventfully. If not for the earlier unusual return, I would have thought nothing of his attention to the area near home.
While nothing of note “happened” on the walk, the scenery was spectacular:
And on our return, as I fired up the grill – from the front porch:
This may be the closest I get to a full moon photo. The forecast does not look good for the night of the full moon. But tonight, it is a beautiful evening and we had a walk completed.
