A few days ago, our oldest son, Jon, sent us an email with the subject, “Name That Poop.”
WHAT????!!!
It begged to be opened because this was unlike the Jon we know!
When I clicked on it, there before my very eyes was a picture of poop… animal poop that is!
He and their boys, Jackson and Bryson, had been at the family  cabin north of Hayward this past weekend and discovered animal waste they couldn’t identify. Jon said it was near the lake and dock.
Naturally, who are they going to turn to solve this mystery? Grampa… aka… The Outdoors Guy, of course!!! When he looked at it (like, who wants to do that in the first place?!), he said it had to be from either a wolf or coyote because the poop had hair in it. Wolves and coyotes, he explained, eat small mammals, for example rabbits, mice, squirrels, gophers, moles, etc. The animals’ hair doesn’t break down in a wolf’s or coyote’s digestive system.
Gee, I’m glad this mystery is solved!!! And, I’m more than overjoyed to have this little outdoors tidbit to carry with me for the rest of my life!!! LOL
Yet, I can’t help but wonder, what will the next subject line be from our now unpredictable Jonathan!!!
