animal anecdotes
E.S.: Were the cougar and otter and lioness experiences connected with scouting?
Once as a child I chased a hamster into my upright piano when doing scales with him on the keys. He got tired of playing tag on the ivories and dove in through the key cover opening. Needless to say my mom was furious with me...and she had to call the piano tuner to take the it apart to get the critter out.
I nearly got my head beat in by an angry cougar. I have a scar on my right hand left by an otter bite (he didn't realize it was me, not the fish) and once played a bone-jarring game of "Patty-cake" with a playful lioness that didn't know her own strength. All of this pales beside the awful realization that I SOMETIMES RIDE HORSES...
Before you think I'm just pulling all this as a sick joke, it's not. And with all my big cat experience, my last two dogs were a 5 pound yorkie and a 4 pound papillon. Yes, small yappy and fwuffy.
