It was really early and I was taking some veggie scraps to the edge of the wood. We always did that for the rabbits and deer. I had gotten almost to the edge of the woods when I heard something go tearing through a thickett over to the side. I saw a deer go running by me. That was very strange but then right behind it came out a mountain lion. It must have been trying to catch the deer while it was bedded down but failed. It had started like it was going to chase the deer when it must have saw me. It stopped looked and looked at me for a second I guess deciding that I would be easier prey. At that time I run for the house, that was probably the worse thing I could do actually. But luckily the commotion must have alerted my dog because it started barking and took off after the big cat as I run away. If it had not been for him I would probably be dead.

My dad did not believe me when I told him but later that week my grandmother saw it in her back yard. She thought we had deer bedded down under the edge of one of the pine trees out back and started to walk up to it when it picked it head up and looked at her. It scared her a little but not like how it did me at the time lol. She said it just got up and walked into the woods. Here is the catch. It had a collar on. The Tennessee wildlife services had turned a number of them lose in the mountains near here early that spring. They denied it when ask but dad said "so if I see one in my back yard it ok to kill it?" They told her that he better not kill one and he then ask them "how can I kill something that you did not set out?". He caught them red handed with that. They either did get killed out by other hunters or they moved to another place because one has not been spotted in about 15 years now.

Happy New Year, Dan!

Oh my, isn’t a mountain lion one of those footnotes in the survival books - “if you see one, it’s too late”? :eek:

Why not ? Germany is only a few hours away ( plane ) :)
I would like to see America too, but I own too much animals. I can`t leave them alone. I have no one that can keep them when I am away. So I love to see pics of your beautiful land and I dream to ride on a horse into the sundown in a wide, wild and beautiful place in the USA.:<3::)And I love the beautiful and nice people there and all around the world.:<3:

You could do a home exchange, say for a week, with one of the neighbors, Sabine. Then, a roommate would look after your animals and enjoy small-town Germany, while you are... in Roskilde?! Hmm, what a brilliant idea. :D
Happy New Year, dearest Bee!

I lost. Then we proceeded to play a game called "pass the bomb" it is a game where you draw a card, it has 3 letters on it and according to the dice you are either not allowed to use them in the beginning of a word or the end or you can use them anywhere. The bomb you pass around once you have said your word. When the bomb goes off and you are holding it you have to take the card. The one with the least amount if cards wins. I lost at that as well.

Happy New Year, Carol!

Yup, lucky in love - that’s my favorite loser argument. When I lose at games. Every single time. :(

Sounds like you had great fun last night. (Or at least the winners did. :p )

Happy New Year from the UK to all my TFO and CDR friends. [emoji322][emoji312][emoji313][emoji898]

2018 has had its rough patches for me (understatement) and it’s entirely due to the CDR that I am still here. You are a wonderful group of worldwide friends who have offered so much support...and not just to me... when it’s been needed.

Wherever you are, I hope 2018 goes well for you, your menageries and everyone close to you [emoji8]

We love you, Linda.
And your knowledge is much needed in the TFO.

We decided to start a new tradition and make New Years Eve family game night. Btw we must then be kindred spirits as far as games go.
