May I Call You Bob?

Yesterday afternoon David called Toronto from the home front to report that he was watching the local bobcat hunt something (likely moles) in our back yard. Tonka was blissfully upwind and unspooked, and the dogs seem disinterested if not oblivious. Without a zoom lens the photo-op was limited, but here's some bobcat bum for you, care of David:

The idea of adding a stock guardian to our menagerie has come up a couple of times. My preference would be for a Maremma dog as I have some experience with this extraordinary breed. Time to start doing some research!

I call him "blobcat." At least until the new zoom lens arrives.

Instead of a dog, think Llama, for protection.

We have considered the addition of a llama, but another dog would have free range of the property and could be more versatile. Llamas are certainly more affordable...
