Wolves, eagles, ravens and a try from someone to scam my mother.

Yesterday mornings sunrise. We didn’t see much of the sun until just before it set.

So my mother just called me because she had gotten a text message from me saying I couldn’t manage any more, meaning needed money. Well the thing is that I haven’t sent her a message because I know she most likely don’t know how to answer 🙂 🙂 🙂 So the one sending it wanted to scam her for money. What that person doesn’t know is that she barely knows how to make a call and wouldn’t be able to send any money until Monday when the banks open and only if she could get a ride 🙂 🙂 🙂

I really don’t know how this works, if they can do the same to other relatives so I’ve been calling around to relatives so if they get the same message they won’t answer to it. This is at the moment a popular way to trick money out go people because who won’t help a child/ relative in need if they can? I’ve told my 89 year old mother to report it to the police even if it actually won’t help because like everywhere they have too little staff and no money to check in to it. Just imagine how much good these people could do if they tried to help people instead!

Yesterdays morning walk was a disaster 🙂 🙂 All of a sudden Malkolm refused to walk in front of me and Alma when we were walking on the very narrow path beside the creek. He did everything to avoid walking and it almost resulted in he almost tied my feet together with his leash. I just couldn’t understand what he was doing but after a long while we managed to continue. Normally he walks with his nose close to the ground but this time he looked straight ahead and pulled the leash unusually hard, then suddenly Alma joined him and they almost made me fall and they didn’t calm down until we were at home.

I can’t figure out what I didn’t understand him until I realised that they behaved like they did the first time we had wolves close to us 🙂 🙂 🙂 This time the reaction was much stronger so I guess that if I had looked around I might have seen it but I was more occupied in not getting tied up and fall 🙂 🙂 🙂 So I think we better avoid the creek for a while, not because I think the wolf still might be there but because it is still too fresh in his memory. So we walked out to the bog instead and today he was like he always is, nose glued to the ground and slightly pulling the leash. It was pretty cold and the temperature was quite low, -6C (21,2F). Thankfully we had sunshine and the sun is still warming up the air quite a lot.

So I have actually had the kitchen door open as long as the sun hit the southern wall. It is sad to see all the leafs falling off but when they are gone the sun hits that wall for a much longer time 🙂 I could even turn off the radiators for several hours. Now it’s dark outside and the temperature will drop quite a lot again tonight.

I’m making rice porridge in the slow cooker and it’s almost time to have some 🙂 So I’ll skip that last cup of tea for the day and enjoy the porridge instead with lots of raspberry jam 🙂

Sometimes White tailed eagles flies over the cottage and they always have ravens chasing them.

The Raven is a rather big bird but looks pretty small beside the eagle.

Have a great day!

  1. Monty and I ran into a coyote in the park yesterday. I’ve never had a dog that did not want to have a big discussion with a coyote. Fortunately Monty just growled and wanted to go into the woods to check out this weird animal. The coyote nonchalantly meandered off! For some reason Monty ignores foxes. But if he wants to go out at night, I always go out with him and carry a light, to warn our neighborhood coyotes. Our yard is big enough he could go into the shadowy shrubs, so I make him come in immediately. Adventures with predators!

    I am sorry that someone tried to scam your mom! That is apparently a common way to scam even younger people. It is so mean spirited.

    1. Hi Carol!

      My dogs are more like let us run up to the animal and say hi 🙂 🙂 🙂 but when it comes to wolves they do anything they can to avoid it and I’m rather happy about that 🙂
      I’ve also started to follow the dogs out in to the garden when it is dark outside, mostly because I don’t want them to fight with badgers and also, of course, just in case a wolf is near. Then again if there is one nearby my dogs usually just go down the stairs, do what they need to and then run inside again.

      It is getting more and more common unfortunately but they truly chose the wrong person since she, no matter how willing she would be, wouldn’t be able to give them anything. New technology is nothing she ever has cared about 🙂 🙂 🙂

  2. When my mother was alive, she got a phone call from someone claiming to be her grandchild who was in trouble somewhere and needed money, and she talked to them for quite a while before she remembered that my sister and I never had children so there are no grandchildren. I got a call like that myself once, and they even called me “Grandma.”
