Alex picked us up from the airport EARLY this morning and when we got home, Shadow, our water spaniel mix, greeted us completely muddy, wet and with a little bit of blood on him. We were baffled, and we also didn't want to touch him since he was such a mess. I took off for a nap upon our return home and Alex played with the kids since he was leaving for Scotland this afternoon. He spotted something by the creek. It was a dead otter and it was Shadow who'd killed it.
We're in disbelief on a couple of levels: first, that there's an otter in our creek and, secondly, that Shadow got hold of it. Hayes examined its paws (five toes in front and back) and is supposed to get out her wildlife book to look up river otters. It's gross, but we took a picture of the dead otter anyway so you all would believe us.
