Have you ever come across wildlife when you walk your dogs?
We see critters quite often. It's been awhile since we saw a porcupine--knock on wood! We see lots of squirrels, grouse, ptramigan, and water birds. Occasionally we run into a moose. Moose tend to move more when it's cooler so we usually only see them when I'm out later in the evenings. Don't like Moose and moose don't like dogs. Fortunately, the dogs seem to know that and all come back to me. Except Muskwa, but you'll notice he's not in the off leash pics very often! We've had a couple bear encounters, but never any trouble with the bears.

What's that paved road? Is it busy?
That's our subdivision road. It's not really paved. They dumped some tar on top of the gravel and call it "chipsealed"! It's not busy at all. I have to cross it once to get to the lake and again on the way home. I rarely have to wait for a car. The dogs all stop at the road. I always stop the sled there to check for traffic so they are used to stopping before crossing.
