A Late Fall Warmup and Injuries

Once you have seen it, there is no mistaking the Chinook arch as it rolls in over the rockies.   This a phenomenon that occurs only in the western prairies/foothills.  Here it is… to the north

and to the south…. a little lest distinct but still recognizable.

Today, while on their regular daily walk in the back forty, Bran decided to take on a cougar.   Mark did not see the altercation, just the resulting blood….. four deep holes in the side of his head.  So, I have cleaned them up and cut away the matted fur around them.   They have stopped bleeding and look “clean” so hopefully no infection will set in.  Time will tell.  He is resting in the laundry room (as far into the house as they get these days) right now.

What would possess a dog to go after a cougar??   Our other new dog, Coco was smart enough to bark from a distance.
