I'm finally able to drive up our driveway after over 4 wks. of having to park down at the road...what a joy, not hauling everything up and down, especially with all the rain we've had. So now it's wildlife haven around here.Trying to go out on walks with the dogs is tricky...checking all around the house for deer.
They couldn't care less if a dog barks, they just continue on their way...or not...grazing as they go. Last weekend we found a dead moose on our walking trail into the forest. Very sad. No idea what happened, but we now cannot go back there until nature takes its course...bugs, birds, wolves...if a bear shows up it will guard and we don't want to risk taking the dogs out there. So this means about 3 wk. of not going out on the trails. Such a nice time of the year, also.
The trees are budding out, so now a porcupine is in the birch beside the house. Another problem! At least when it's up the tree, we know it's there. Otherwise, who knows where it might be if a dog is off-leash or outside the fence. 
It too, couldn't care less if I stand there and watch it. This one is sound asleep, early morning.
