Now, having said all this, I still fear the appearance of an otter or beaver, and know that someday I will have to deal with it. In the meantime, tho, I try not to sweat the smaller stuff.
The operative word here is "try" not to sweat the smaller stuff...


I kinda took you for a mink guy? I love their presence in my pond - hopefully helping cull my muskrat population of which I've successfully trapped ZERO animals! Argh!
