Max: Now listen up. It’s fall. That means hunting season! Have you reviewed the notes on our approach to hunting in the wood piles?
Marcus: Yeah, but why do I always climb on top of the pile? What about you doing some of the work?
Max: Don’t be smart! You are the apprentice, I am the master hunter! Today it’s hunting chipmunks, later it’s big game! Squirrels and groundhogs!
Think how excited Mom will be when we bring home a fresh Marmot! Yummmmmm Marmot stew!
Marcus: I don’t know that black snake we brought home last week upset her pretty bad. Especially when you let it go slithering all over the kitchen floor, you weren’t allowed in the house till bedtime.
Max: OK, the snake was a mistake, But she’ll go wild for the Marmot. Trust me!

Marcus, the thing about humans is most of us don’t like snakes. I do, but even there it depends on the kind. Be discriminating. Your pal, Martha

Sometimes we just have to dream, Max. 🐻❄️🐾
Aww! Are they holding paws?
They are very close. Shoulder bumps, rubs, and lying down together sometimes.
