So that's where all our fish went...

The big news of the day is that Bill saw an OTTER in the lower pond this morning!

He ran up the driveway to get a camera, but by the time he got back down, Echo had chased it off. The dog was ever so busy, doing the required sniffing and peeing on every spot where said otter had touched the ground.

But this explains a lot of things: the giant splashes I occasionally hear, but when I whirl around, all I see is ripples; the lack of fish this year, not altogether explained by last year's drought.

First, coyote howls at dawn last week. Then an otter in the pond. What's next? Lions, tigers, bears?

Oh my.
