Did you ever have a good laugh at yourself?  I just went to check  one of my 
iris beds to see how an iris was doing.  Common practice, but  this time I 
took a hammer with me.  How much good I thought a hammer  would be against a 
mountain lion is beyond me.  I mean how close would he  have to be for me to get 
him with a claw hammer??  


 
Neighbor found the bodies of 2 deer, a calf, and a dog, all close  together.  
(between me and the creek) We've been told that the only animal  that brings 
it's food home AND that would kill a dog is the mountain lion.   We had 
reports of this guy in May when I came home from the convention.   After carrying a 
weapon into the garden for a couple of months, I kinda forgot  about it.  
 
Anyone on the list familiar with BIG CAT habits??  Write me off  list.  
 
Oh!  Do Mountain Lions eat irises?   <vbg>
