The geese are just there, and we see them in passing as we follow our accustomed route. Same stuff; different day.<br /><br />® Tattie: Now you know why we are careful about where we go. Still, a cougar within two blocks of our grandchildrens' place is worrisome. But this was the cougars' territory long before it was ours, so we are the intruders. We need to work out some "accommodations." Often we don't do that very well.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-80332448664779399482009-11-25T04:03:45.730-06:002009-11-25T04:03:45.730-06:00Cougars!

But when the two pups get together, they "play" pretty rough and get dirty sometimes. This does not amuse Momma, so the puppies don't get to play together. <br /><br />® Natalie: The chances of actually seeing a cougar here are roughly the same as seeing a boomer on the loose in beautiful downtown Newcastle. It's just that the consequences of the encounter might be different, boomer vs. cougar.<br /><br />® Rose: We walk about 2 kilometres at a time (unless I'm having problems walking), three times a day. Sidewalks in front of houses are straight and fairly level. But in the San Site and along the river, there are twists and tuns, ups and downs. My goal is to get up to 10 kilometres a day, but I don't expect that to happen any time soon.<br /><br />® GW: I have to confess I never understood the virtue of a gym. But if it works for you, great. I stated at one kilometre a couple of times a day when Sadie was little. Now, we routinely cover 6 ks. spread over three walks. (Sometimes we go for a fourth walk late in the evening.)<br /><br />® Lakeviewer: Glad you enjoy your walking. It is a good workout. Most of the ground we travel is at least partly sheltered, so we're pretty much good to go. Except when the temperature gets down to -40°, At that temperature, even your words freeze when you speak.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-79758822055239458382009-11-24T15:46:51.005-06:002009-11-24T15:46:51.005-06:00Sometimes you walk to the river to see the geese? ...Sometimes you walk to the river to see the geese?
