Young Bobcat Staring From Safety In The Juniper

Young Bobcat Staring From Safety In The Juniper

Just today Palin said ''I have never seen a bobcat when we are riding.'' Chile Pepper had sniffed one up close a few years back, and still has the 4 parallel scars on his nose as proof! Occasionally the dogs chase one up a tree, but they are a rare site indeed.

Today as Palin, Char, and I were riding near Coyote Spring, suddenly the dogs came racing up the side of the steep arroyo right in front of the horses. First thought --chasing a squirrel! But suddenly there was a big rustle in the tree, and a very sweet young bobcat hanging on for dear life up high!

We made Palin promise not to say ''I have never seen a cougar when we are riding.''

Annie, be sure to let Cindy know it was her dog, Ginger, who was the primary party responsible for treeing the cat! Not that she showed much interest after it was up the tree - I think she just wanted something to run after!
