Wildlife

Two new blog posts in a row, holy cow!

Speaking of cows, I love animals. We have a dog at Glenwood, her name is Evil Corporate Giant. Sometimes we have a kitten, not all the time though. There is also a pet fisher cat out in the woods of Glenwood. It's scary and sounds like a child bleeding out. It might eat Evil Corporate Giant someday.

I especially love wild animals. The great outdoors, that's where I was last night with Andrew and Bibb, before he stopped to poop. We ran Keene Farm Loop, the classic shorter than eight, but we call it eight mile loop. It was a nice night and we hammer jammered with some good yammering for a while after the first mile.

Just before we were going to roll down through Spruce Swamp Road we found a snapping turtle! It was old and slow looking and stuck in the sand by the swamp, trying to cross the road. I wanted to help it, but I'm not Jack Hannah and I may have had my fingers snapped right off!

Not too long later, only a few miles later we saw some deer on Osbourne! There was a mama deer and two baby deer. Andrew didn't see them, because he didn't have hawk eyes like mine, but Bibb may have smelled them or something. He's a good tracker like that, he once captured a live wild turkey with his bare hands. They ran back into the woods real quick, but it was cool to see.

After those two bafoons left me, I went out and added on two miles in Gorham Suburbia to get my 10 for the day. Out on Coach's Loop, sure enough I saw a coyote! I was lucky, those things don't come out too much. It was gray and gave me quite the look from the bushes next to the garage it was standing at. I don't know what it was doing so close to town, but after I left the scene I started to hear a small dog cry and bark and whimper. Hope the pup is alright!
