7. It was only a stare down
Wed Jan 30, 2013, 09:56 AM
Jan 2013

Ollie dropped his eyes and his tail and we left for our walk. When we came back, the beaver was standing in exactly the same spot, more than willing to do round two of stare down and Ollie refused to acknowledge him. I waited until I got him into the barge to keel over laughing. Then I went back out to get pictures, but the beaver was in no mood to pose, he jumped back into the water and slapped it with his tail for good measure. He's a huge beaver, BTW, about 2/3rds the size of my dog. But twice the moxy, clearly.
