Dead Beaver on Dogwood.
It’s 11:30 ” on a Saturday, a regular crowd shuffles in”.. Sorry Random neurons firing and I am free associating again. I hope everyone is having a nice Saturday. It is a Beautiful day in Kentucky “its a Beautiful day in the Neighborhood.” It is warm and sunny outside. I probably will go take a walk in the park.
Now some sad news, there is a dead Beaver on Dogwood. It is really sad seeing s/he laying there. I only hope it wasn’t on purpose, but I can’t help but wonder how anyone couldn’t miss a Beaver. THey don’t move that fast. And they are almost 3 feet tall. I think someone thought it was a groundhog and hit it intentionally. sigh.
I don’t know if it is the same Beaver I saw for the first time several years ago. I thought s/he was a ground hog then. THere is a creek that crosses dogwood and runs behind the elementary school and then crosses mainstreet before winding its way through the city park.
I was walking in the city park when I thought I saw a groundhog ‘running’ across afield. I was the only one there and it was early morning. I thought “hey a groundhog..what the hell is it dragging… it looks like s/he is dragging a turd behind him… wait that’s a tail… A tail?.. oh, its a Beaver… How cool we have Beavers in the city park..”
I don’t know anything about Beavers. I don’t know if they mate for life or if they are swingers.
I am just saddened by the passing of this Beaver. They used to be endangered and I felt, i don’t know how to explain it, I felt, a positive something, just knowing that one (and probably more) lived close by.
Yep, a Dead Beaver on Dogwood. sigh.
I saw “beaver”,hitting a beaver ,”dogwood”,”turd”, “swinger”..is this a metaphor?

I’ll be darn, that Groundhog I seen in a tree, may have been a porcupine. I have never seen a porcupine.

“…beaver have one litter per year, coming into estrus for only 12 to 24 hours, between late December and May but peaking in January. Unlike most other rodents, beaver pairs are monogamous, staying together for multiple breeding seasons. Gestation averages 107 days and they average three kits per litter with a range of two to six kits. Most beaver do not reproduce until they are three years of age…”
I had heard that Beavers mated for life, but I wasn’t sure of the information.
Hi Roscoe!!! I’ve never seen a live or dead beaver. I have hit a raccoon, a dog, a opossum, a deer and what looked to be a bob cat with my vehicles. Actually my husband was driving when we hit the deer and the bob cat. Sometimes stuff just darts out from behind cars, even if they are slow moving you can still hit them.
Look at this!!! It happened in the town I live in. http://www.kmbc.com/news/2647799/detail.html
I was hoping your title was the name of a still life painting…. Something surreal… Sad.
That’s a shame about the beaver. Hopefully, s/he left a few surviving relatives. I’ve only seen a live beaver twice. Once up in Canada and the other time, believe it or not, we saw one cruising through the water out at Lake Mead. They say that there are at least 3 beaver huts built at different places out there. I am personally amazed at that since I didn’t think beavers could take the heat that well.
