| In which we find raccoon prints on the trail... |
I took the
lead after that, as the undergrowth in the forest was quite thick and full of
brambles. Harlow followed behind me,
occasionally calling for help when a bramble caught in her coat and she
couldn’t pull herself free. It wasn’t
long before I spotted something that I thought Harlow would be interested in.
“What is
it, da Momma?” she asked, looking at the tracks in the damp soil.
“Raccoon
tracks,” I told her.
She looked
puzzled. “What is a raccoon?”
“Well, it’s
an animal that has a mask and a striped tail.”
I pulled out the notebook. “Let’s
make a note of it, and you can look up raccoons when we get home.” I carefully wrote “10:03am – found raccoon
tracks.”
No doubt The Princess H will want to add one to her kingdom!

I wanted to let you know that my daughter and son-in-law will be in the market to adopt a couple of dogs after they move and get settled in. They listed off a few breeds they were interested in, and one was a Golden. I've been encouraging them to look for a Golden Retriever rescue in their area after reading about your dogs all these years. See? You are influencing people with your dedication to the breed.
