The reason was a desire to learn what was leaving large footprints in the soil and dog like "presents" on our new driveway. We found (the presents) contained a funny substance that actually would eat right into the asphalt. Not kidding. Sort of like acid. Toxic strength. So a daily afternoon stroll down this 1500 foot drive I may find 3 presents and are driven to kick them off so the asphalt wouldn''t sustain any more damage. In doing so I couldn''t help notice they contain a large quanity of hair. Stick with me....I know this is icky...anyway what creature can "deposit" something that can eat through asphalt?
My husband and I pulled into the driveway last night and we both saw a pair of glowing marbles the size of quarters...1500 feet away. The movement of them was steady and level and about 4 feet off of the ground. We could see the eyes until they reached our 6 foot chain link fence with 3 feet of barbed wire on top...total of 9 feet...the eyes disappeared! What ever this thing was it was over that fence in a milisecond. Hubby said that it had to be aliens...you know the ones from MARS.
Research...and EEEEEuuuuuu...I have been out there quietly walking the grounds...alone...in the wee hours of the night...enjoying my private time...the noises and also the quiet...and I have just learned that the large paw prints I have been seeing and the "deposits" are the work of a 200lb cougar!!!
As in BIG CAT. As in claws and fangs and a growl to make you loose it! Me and my itty bitty self and my cup of joe...and this this predator...looking for a late night snack. EEEEEuuuuuu. My dogs are leashed now...not allowed out after dusk without a leash. These THINGS can do a vertical jump and climb a tree in a heartbeat. It could have been in the trees and I walking beneath.
Arrgh...Hubby thought it would be wise for me to grab a cookie, rub some deer scent on me and take a midnight stroll
...could this be a sign it might be time for a marriage counselor?
