Traveling & Nephew Marcus

By

Above: I hold my nephew Marcus up while blowing bubbles!

I’ve been traveling and intentionally left it at home…hard to imagine but sometimes I need to get away from work.

Not too long ago my brother and sister-in-law brought my nephew Marcus over to meet me. We had a blast blowing bubbles and just watching baby antics.

Marcus is a sprint crawler and I warned my sister-in-law that he might do what my brother decided to do–run before walking.

Raising children is very similar to raising a furry family member. You have to be clear, set boundaries, and reward good behavior.

I’ll be back on Monday and will chat with you then!

Animal Attack Follow-Up

By

Last week I focused on animal attacks for the entire time. Well, there have been a few updates on a few of those attacks but I’ll keep this short and sweet.

First the animal attack at the Wesa-A-Geh-Ya story had more to it. Fortunately all the animals are going to be moved to another sanctuary in Kentucky. Hopefully it will be a good move for the animals.

In Colorado people are expressing more concern over the appearance of mountain lions in urban areas.

The woman who was attacked in British Columbia wants the person who hit the bear with a SUV to stop the bear attack to come forward so she can thank him. I somehow missed that part of the story–good thinking.

A boy survived a black bear attack in the Smokey mountains because his dad and brother fought it off.

As mentioned previously, black bear attacks are usually predatory and they seem to be getting more and more common.
