Big old paws.
Nittany Lion.
Mount Nittany, that is.
Hoping it was a sizable weapon. In NorCal one might get away with hiking with a weapon but it would be iffy.
Yeah, that particular one is only a threat to shrimp, Parmesan cheese, and watermelon. No, really, watermelon.
Mind, I don’t think random wild ones are going to be like that - but that particular one is more interested in hanging out in a house eating cheese than anything else. :P
That’s what I told the book club. Time and place (country) should be considered. I have Southern country folk and the book told every day life. They still disliked the book.
Yes, you recalled correctly.
Belgian dogs are perfect for people who like training intense realtionship dogs.
Belgian abbey ales are also perfect if you like a full bodied beer.
My daughter had that book as assigned reading in middle school. In about 2011 in CA. I remember it being a bit sad.
Wow. That’s a great kitty!
This story reminds me of one of my favorite books, Where The Red Fern Grows.
Great book.
Fifty odd years later my throat still tightens when I remember that book....
Ever since a “Wild Game Potluck” in the early 80s I have never turned down the opportunity to dine on lion .... in fact I await in great anticipation for my next and future helpings. One of the most toothsome meats encountered in my 70-too many years as a carnivore.
Bravo. Two brave young women.
OMG! Wildlife!!!
Kill it and pave over it's tracks.
The best protection dog I ever had was a Rottweiler Catahoula Hound cross. He was bred to hunt wild hogs and bear but made an outstanding 110 pound wicked vicious protection dog. The good thing about him was that he would obey me. He never bit anybody. He always positioned himself between me and other people. If they took a step toward me he raised his hackles, growled, and showed them his pearly whites. He was staying inside with my daughter one night while she was home alone. A man came to the gate and when he asked if that dog would bite if he came through the gate she said yes. He tried to come through the gate anyway. The dog tore through the screen door in a flash and the man barely got the gate closed before he was on it. I came home and the screen door was hanging by one hinge.
Now I have Mountain Feists that are great snake killers but just try to bark people to death.
Had a Heinz 57 like that once. Guy came up the driveway towards our youngest and Scooter did the same as yours. Got in between and growled. Not long after, someone poisoned him. One place we lived, before his demise, a sheriff deputy came into the cluster of houses we lived in to serve a warrant on someone. The dog was out roaming the yard and approached the ‘stranger’. Deputy stomped his foot at the dog. Dog moved in a little closer. I had to call him in the house. Fearless damn dog.
Some dogs are loyal and fearless like that. I feel lucky that I had one once in my life. I like my little terriers because nothing gets past them. They raise the alarm way before I know anybody is around. That gives me plenty of time to grab the .38.
She was trespassing in the cat’s kitchen so what did she suspect was going to happen? Basically, she fed her dog to the cat. Glad the dog lived.
” There IS something good that has come out of Belgium.”
