lions, coyotes and bears... (oh, my!)

With apologies to Oz (I wonder if Michaela, Micah or Elizabeth remember the right words?). Here is my lion-berger cuddling up to his Momma-bear at Micah and Elizabeth's house this week. Animal lovers and vegetarians, you might not want to scroll down to the coyotes part of this post. I hesitated posting this zoom photo of the drama taking place recently across the bay from our house. Very sad that occasionally some of our beloved and beautiful deer are killed by the coyotes that we often hear howling in the distance. Reminds me of another kids' movie. Remember (in Babe) when the cow and the duck are looking in at the window as the family eats a Christmas duck? The cow slowly drawls something like, "You just have to understand that the way things are, is the way things are." And the duck replies, "The way things are... - STINKS." I agree with the duck.
