Yesterday Reese (my choc lab) and I were on our walk along the pond and saw the adult beaver and kit on the shoreline. They slid into the water and then went under the pond ice. So nice to see the young one out with the adult.
Today we were on our walk and Reese darted up a 10 foot embankment at the same location where the beaver have a path into the woods they use for foraging saplings. The kit was at the top of the embankment frozen in place likely where mom had put it while she was out looking for just the right sapling further into the woods. Reese and the kit came nose to nose within 2 feet but Reese never touched the baby. She would not hurt it and came back to me to tell me it was there. I took a few pics with my pocket cam and we left it alone and moved on. It was great to see the little one and I was very proud of Reese for leaving it alone. I was also very glad mom was not that close for Reese's sake :)
Always nice to stumble upon nature that way.

It sure was. I put a trail cam out where the beaver had been coming in and out of the pond but have not seen them again.
