I just came in from walking the dog along the creek that runs through my land. The dog got all antsy, barking and running in circles around me but staying real close to me; most peculiar behaviour for the old girl. It took me a while to figure it out. Finally a motion on the far side of the creek caught my eye. It was a bloody cougar and it seemed to be stalking us. Gotta tell ya, my sphincter tightened as if sucking on a lemon. The dog and I scooted back to my machine shop as fast as we could go, keeping an eye open behind us warily. Never been so glad to have Grandpa's old 16 gauge in my hands! This was the first time I have ever seen a feline cougar so close.
I'll take those cougars that attack me in SCs any time over this variety.
