Scoots has returned!

[otterfamily]

I never totally gave up hope on Scoots, and this evening, there she was, back home after a 77-day disappearing act. Hooray! I'll never know where she went, but I don't really care. All that matters is that she's back. More good news: Scoots has mate marks on the back of her neck, which means she's still reproductively active at the ripe old age of 11 years. It might also mean she has a litter of new pups hidden away somewhere. Here's hoping still!
