Back to normal
May. 31st, 2007 01:07 amNow that there is a new mother in residence, I am going back to daily sessions. I am so excited! This development really was completely unexpected. I had hopes that Nova would be the future of this population, but she wouldn't have given birth for the first time until next year at the earliest, so she was anything but a sure bet. Now to suddenly see a clearly experienced young mother appear here apparently out of nowhere is nothing less than a miracle to me...

Yesterday evening I saw Chirper (Mystery Male) for the first time in a month-and-a-half. I knew he was OK, though, seeing his occasional scats. During his brief visit last night, he made a complete fool out of a chocolate lab playing "dog tag" on the dock. Definitely a *lol* moment! That was nice to see.
The new mom didn't appear until sunset. No pups with her this time, though. (That's normal when babies are this young.) In her overall aspect, this female reminds me quite a bit of my beloved Scarnose (1986-1992) – she's sleek, hyper and (I can tell already) very intelligent. Perhaps most importantly, she is clearly wild. When she's out, she doesn't come anywhere near the pier; obviously, as for the whole of the past week there have been absolutely zero scats being deposited on the dock. (If an otter visits anywhere, s/he always poops!)
Anyway, I'm just glad to finally be returning to my normal routine here. I've always been used to conducting daily sessions. (During 2003-2005, I came here a record 721 consecutive days.) Currently being unemployed, though, I can't really afford to come every day, but I'll try to as often as I can!
