There was a beaver that had to be removed from an area not far from me just last week after it attacked some folks. And although they aren’t really related, I had a mountain beaver wander into my backyard a couple of days ago and take a nip out of my ankle when I went to evict him - I scrubbed it out and doused it with EtOH and I’m not foaming at the mouth yet so I’m ok. He was quicker than I expected. Didn’t out-quick my dog, though.

Thanks for the ping.

Isn’t Oregon known as the Beaver State? Do we have an irony ping?

So, you and the dog are both okay?

Are you allowed to shoot the rodents?

Oregon (my home state), is the only state to have different images on either side of its flag.

Dog and I are fine. And the pup convinced the critter it wasn’t welcome - no need for gunplay.

Somehow, I knew I’d see that picture.

I must be psychic.

Hey, if I had a time machine, I’d be filthy rich, would have slept with hundreds of babes throughout history, and made significant adjustments to our recent political history. ;’)
