this picture was taken on our road at the far corner of our 19 acres. its the best place to cross country ski, our stroller has skis and johanna can hold on the the handles for balance as i pull through the fluffy white powder.
a few weeks back, at this same place, the kiddos and i started noticing really big dog-like tracks in the fresh snow. i've been told 4 1/2 inches is the secret number for a wolf track. length and width of the track will not excede 4 1/2 inches if its a dog. an adult wolf track will not be smaller that 4 1/2 inches.
these tracks were so big, i called bob at the house. max, the most wonderful guard dog in the world, all of a sudden took off into the woods to the left of the photo. we heard multiple canine growls and barks and the sounds of a fight. i screamed for max to "come!" he did after a few minutes, and was in front of the kiddos and i guarding us for all he was worth.bob showed up about then and gave us all a ride home.
that night about 9 pm, the whole pack was in front of our house howling and calling for max.
max ate hot dogs on the couch for a few days.
love that dog.
