Mother's back!

Got to watch Slick for a nice long time yesterday evening. Then, just as he was returning home, I saw Mother and her pup for the first time in 6 weeks! I knew if the pup lived that I'd see her again, and for once, I was right. And more good news – I think the pup might be a female!

Now that Slick's fur is grizzling with age, I was struck by how much he resembles his grandmother. The way he looks, the way he moves, it was almost like I was watching Little Mama again. Unfortunately, he's also acting a bit recklessly like his grandma used to, too, loitering around fishermen for handouts. I don't like to see that sort of thing, but there's nothing I can really do about it.

Mother and pup were too far away to take a picture, but here's one of Slick last night peering out from his hidey-hole.
