Wolf Up Close

Today has sure been exciting!! At about noon all of a  sudden  the dogs started barking like crazy in the back yard by the small generator shack. I went after them thinking maybe they found a porcupine but when they got up  pretty far up the trail (it leads to a bench overlooking the whole back bay) they went down next to a small cliff by the water. The dogs were super super exited and kept barking so I got closer to see what it was and then, what I was definitely not expecting, a huge, skinny but muscular, orange and brown wolf came right up the edge of the cliff. I only saw its head and a little below its shoulders. Before it could get up the cliff it fell back down again and started running towards the big generator shack with the dogs right on it. It shocked and scared me soo soo bad. I ran back to the lodge as fast as I could, thinking that I heard something behind me but it was just my mind playing tricks on me. It was really hard to run because I had all my snow stuff on. Breathless I  got Dewey and he brought his gun and we went back up after Niko who was now the only one barking at the wolf. (Cinder and Coby went back to the lodge), we didn't find the wolf and Niko was fine so we went back to the lodge and ever since I have ben having a really bad cough because I was soo out of breath from all the running up and down the trail.

Trail of ice the AJ made.
