Meeow!

Had a nice walk in Devilla Forest yesterday near Kincardine. What a scorcher of a day again! It was like walking in a hot dusty part of America, I expected rattlesnakes in the path in front, bears hiding in the woods, the sound of a coyote, a Bald Eagle flying overhead, and a strange family house with a guy playing a banjo up a tree (If you havent seen Deliverance the last reference will mean nothing to you). The dogs were reacting to the heat differently. One didnt appear to be affected by it at all whilst the other was like an old man wearily walking on with the world on his shoulders. Refused water the whole way though. Nice forest but a bit too 'Forestry Commission' in places. Strange thing happened at one point, Myself and one of the dogs were happily wondering along a narrow track where everything seemed really quiet, no birds sang and I have to admit it was as if something was watching us. I looked round and noted that the other dog, the one that's usually the most inquisitive had stopped in his tracks about 30 yards back. I shouted on him but he wouldnt come, I tried to pick him up and he wasnt happy, I put him down and decided we would go back the way we came, and he was suddenly over the moon, took the lead, but kept looking back over his shoulder. Weird, he's never done that before. I did some research on the place when I came home. Turns out there's been sightings of a 'big cat'. Surely not?! Oh and I didn't end up the way of Burt Reynolds and his pals!
