Okay.....last evening I was relaxing in my living room after a long day at work. As is my custom, I enjoy gazing out the east window toward Quartzite Mountain to see what evening light show would appear on it's face in the gloaming. What caught my eye was the white tail flash of an excited deer as it bounced through the tall grass first north and then west toward me. It acted as though being chased so I got up and went to the window to get a better view. Peter was in the kitchen and I called for him to "Come look quick! There are two Huskies chasing a deer toward the house!" They ran into the yard and past the back porch through a passageway of only 6 feet or so and into the driveway.
Well, it all happened too fast for him to see and they were gone.
It's funny how your mind goes to the familiar during an unfamiliar experience. I remember telling Peter they were huge, big as a large German Shepherd and neither one had a color on. That I'd never seen them before...Hhhmmm...There have been wolves sighted in the mountains here and someone reported seeing one hunting in the wetlands just a few yards south of our house near the sod farm about one or two months ago. But this was brazen, in my yard, don't let the cat out anymore close!
I did explore the area outside. No dead deer or wandering canines, only hoof prints dug deep in the dirt and far spaced dog like prints along the way they went over a low fence and into the next field. No sounds out of the ordinary.
Now, we may yet hear about two huskies roaming town and terrorizing wildlife and pets but until then it was awesome!
