They are clever buggers, and make life difficult for aquarium staff.<BR/><BR/>parlance ~ welcome! You know, I do believe your Penny does know something you don't. I think we lost some of our ability to sense the natural world a long time ago and the bustle of every day life often removes us even more. <BR/><BR/>qt ~ yeah, wolverines and badgers are the tanks of the animal world. I wouldn't cross one. I've seen wolverines bring down mountain sheep by clamping their mouths over the sheep's nose and mouth and hanging on until the animal suffocated to death. And the sheep is like 5 times the size of one. <BR/><BR/>jen ~ indeed he was, thankfully. I'm not usually that far behind him but some days I need him to keep me out of trouble.<BR/><BR/>mad hatter ~ welcome & thank you for your sympathies.<BR/><BR/>hannah ~ welcome to you too! I'm glad you like the blog. <BR/><BR/>scarlett ~ you could?? Oh good! I love it when I succeed at that.Wayfarer Scientistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07996334636311497271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908003946850783762.post-62980382544425780892007-10-08T20:27:00.000-08:002007-10-08T20:27:00.000-08:00A wanderers best friend.Very good.I could almost b...A wanderers best friend.<BR/>Very good.<BR/><BR/>I could almost be there, smelling the sea on the cold air, listening to it wash ashore, hearing the activities of those animals that live within and around it... almost... <BR/><BR/>Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Scarlett & ViaggiatoreWanderlust Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551514192060606454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908003946850783762.post-68551937012055448232007-10-08T06:08:00.000-08:002007-10-08T06:08:00.000-08:00Always trust the dog's sixth sense - glad you skir...Always trust the dog's sixth sense - glad you skirted the danger!

I love it but Penny doesn't. <BR/>It's the only place we go where she will lag behind me. I usually manage to go for about a half-hour before the creepiness of her behaviour overcomes me and I turn back. She races ahead of me all the way back. Weird. <BR/>It has creeped me out so much I don't got there even though it is the only long off-lead walk that we can do.<BR/>I know the area has some 'land-slip' areas around there. It's the only thing I can think of that might account for her behaviour. Maybe she hears minute movements in the ground that I am unaware of.parlancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175843064324380048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908003946850783762.post-75746414861064584752007-10-06T19:44:00.000-08:002007-10-06T19:44:00.000-08:00good dog.I saw otters yesterday.
