The big surprise in the photos, for me, is the pile of moose bones. I’m borrowing this foster dog, who came with the name “Kimball” but I’m calling her “Little One” or “Kimmy”. I take her out for walks a couple times a day, you know, to do business and get exercise. Down by the camp where they hang a flag off the telly pole, there were a couple moose hooves on the west side of the road. They look just like pigs hooves that you buy at the petstore except a little bigger.
Anyway, it was weird to see them just lying in the road like that. I happened to look down in the gully, and there was a moose carcass! It’s picked clean so it’s probably been there a while. My best guess is that it was hit by a truck in the winter and got pitched off the road. I think it’s close enough to camp that I would have smelled it rotting but I didn’t, so I bet it was a winter kill and was the pantry for the local wildlife. Just a guess.

- Foster dog – unidentifiable mixture of probably 5 or 6 breeds. Good dog but the squirrel drive is too much for me. She “looks” like a german shepherd in color but that’s it. Also, no double coat, floppy ears and mannerisms and personality aren’t GSD. She’s not stupid, but she’s not GSD smart either. Though last night we both alerted to an unfamiliar noise outside, and, for fun, I said to her “gimme some noise” and she barked a few times and stopped when I told her to. Not bad. Even Joe didn’t do that.

That is a nice looking dog. She looks like she is saying, “let’s go outside and find some more moose bones!”
She does! That was a foster dog on loan from the local shelter. She is a pretty good dog and actually found a new home the day after I brought her back!
