The primary pond by the main dam has been a kind of playpen for our three new kits. They get to practice swimming, diving, chewing branches, and carrying sticks in the water without actually going anywhere too dangerous or far away. We’ve had a few kit explorations as they maneuver the gap and follow where the two year-old and dad go every night, but for the most part they’ve been “campouts in the front yard” very short expeditions that usually end running home in a panic.
Last night all that changed. Check out Cheryl’s Video Debut!
Cheryl was at the dam at 7:30 when she heard something down stream and looked to see a baby come back OVER the gap. Followed by kit number two!!! Clearly the rules have changed. When Jon was out at 5:30 this morning he saw the two year old by the footpridge and a kit beside him! They both ducked under the blackberry brambles and did some feeding. The kit got his very own branch and swam home with it proudly.
Our babies are growing up! Sniff!
