Of goals, and goat meat, and scary wildlife encounters in the woods.

Check me out with my working computer. How awesome is this? I'm caught up on my f-list, I'm able to watch videos for my classes (yes, still trucking even if I don't expect to pass or get a certificate), and I can write again

That's so sad. Yeah, don't thank me! That's just basic human decency, I think. I mean, Josh is peeved that if it's so close, it's probably scaring the deer away, but I likely saw deer tracks, so they're at least passing through. He's not going to go out and hunt it so he can have easier or hunting or because it growled at his fool-ass wife. And I should have had *something* with me in the woods, so I was fool-ass

That all makes perfect sense! Although, honestly, I was just finding myself hoping that my farmy posts didn't bother you when I got to this line: I'm not opposed to the circle of life, I'm opposed to the idea that the circle of life is down there, and we humans are standing on top of it, because everything should bend to our will. I definitely approach it with a sacred & thankful attitude! Even JJ, for all that he scared and hurt Eden. We try to be as humane and compassionate as possible.

Josh wants to learn taxidermy, and I mostly just want to learn proper preservation skills (I love the furhideandbone community, for instance, and find it very educational), but I definitely don't approach anything like that (hunting, homesteading, etc.) with disrespect or a cavalier attitude. If anything, I have a very strong urge to focus on conservation and do everything as mindfully and beneficially as possible. Those that don't approach it that way really break my heart. Sadly, I haven't found a lot of people locally who feel the same way and could help

Even in suburbia here we have coyotes. Their habitat is shrinking with all the crazy building, so they terrorize dogs and cats mostly. AW

good to see you, I will read the whole post later, but I missed you.

Thank you! I've missed everyone here too. I've been trying to post more and get more active again. Hopefully this computer will last!

Coyotes are everywhere anymore. It's sad, because they should have their own space. :( It was definitely a bobcat who stalked me home though! We found all evidence of it hunting me right back to the yard!
