P*A*N*D*A

Well, Panda and I walked Cush Hill. He was as energetic and vigorous as he's ever been. We covered most of the trails on the hill side. Panda got lost for a while, and finally found me and ran up to me out of breath. But that didn't slow him down. When we got back to the car, he was reluctant to get in. So we went and walked the other side of the road with him leading the way. Sadly, I didn't have the camera when he found a deer leg, complete from pelvis to hoof, and hauled it the quarter mile, up a steep hill, back to the car. It's four feet long, and he made the fluttering noise with his lips that he makes when he's swimming. He's been gnawing on it in the back yard for the last ten minutes. He shows no signs of discomfort in his gnawing which I don't think would have been the case a couple days ago.
