Friends,
My part-time, next door neighbor called last night to let me know that when she drove home from her cabin on Sunday, she had to make a panic stop halfway down the street to avoid hitting a mountain lion. “I don’t know if you leave your dog out overnight (I don’t because she’ll bark at rustling leaves and nobody will get any sleep), but I’ll bet that mountain lion would have no trouble climbing your fence.”
I have a couple thoughts about this. The first would be that she must not have been that worried to wait until Tuesday. Maybe it looked sickly or sort of unmotivated. The second is that despite the delay, I still took time out of my evening last night to lose my mind over every tiny noise inside or outside. But my biggest concern isn’t that the nice kitty will climb the fence…
Your pal,
