Steve`s Country
For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Snowshoeing And…Part 3.
I was hoping that they would just decide I wasn’t anything exciting and then leave. Which is what I wanted to do. Maybe if I unlace my boot I would be able to pull my foot out. Then I could retrieve my boot easily. So I started. The smaller wolf had sat down. The larger wolf was gone. Not nice. By the time I got my boot unlaced the big fella had gone around to my right side. Looking at me. And he was closer now. Maybe just trying to figure out what I was. I wiggled my foot as much as I could and finally out it came. Great, my sock had come off. I hate when that happens. And a bare foot in snow is not very exciting either.
I quickly pulled my boot out from the rocks, pulled my sock out of my boot and put my sock on. By this time my foot was wet and cold. I put my boot on and, great, there’s snow in my boot. Now my foot is very wet and cold. The wolves had both disappeared by this time. That was a relief. But…now, my snowshoe is broken. Now I will have to walk through that deep snow. And my ankle, knee and side were now paining quite badly. But I headed for an area with more tree cover where there should be less snow. I looked all around. No sign of the wolves. Fantastic! Now I just had to figure out the fastest way back to one of my trails, then it would be easier walking.
It was still snowing. Must be 4 inches (10cm) of new snow by now. I got that feeling again. I looked around. Sure enough, that big wolf was following me again. I wonder where the other wolf is hiding? Oh, there she is, in front of me. I decided to change direction. At least it was easier walking through the trees. Finally, there is one of my trails. I was getting kind of tired by this point. But I didn’t really want to stop and rest. But the wolves decided to leave, which was a relief. I kept on walking, but after walking through all that snow earlier, my knee was really throbbing. That meant I had to slow down a bit. I even stopped to rest for a while now that the wolves were gone.
Then after about twenty minutes I spotted them again! They were both ahead of me. And standing on my trail. That’s not nice. I was too tired and sore to do anything else, so I kept on walking. They just stood there, not moving, looking at me. I kept on walking. Like I didn’t see them. They didn’t move, one was now sitting, the big one was standing. I was maybe 30 feet away now. What if they don’t move? Then suddenly they took off running to the side. I never saw them anymore after that. Maybe they figured I wasn’t worth eating after all.
I hope you enjoyed this adventure, have a wonderful day and God bless!

Now i know why they left you. Seeing you all wrapped up in big warm clothes they would’ve decided you are a nice dinner, but when you removed the shoes They would’ve felt there is no enough flesh under the skin. 🤪 You love getting into trouble don’t you. Enjoyed reading it,🤪 Have a beautiful Sunday Steve ✨🤗 Hope you had good sleep ✨

Yes, I slept very good, thanks! Yep, at the time with all my winter clothes on I would have looked nice and plump but without them those wolves were saying, ‘nothing but skin and bones’!😂🤪😹Hope you had a great day and that you’re ready to get back to work tomorrow!😁😸☃🌨Snowing here right now, not too much though, 3 or 4 cm so far.

Yes, I think they were just curious, trying to figure out what I was perhaps. Or maybe waiting for me to fall and stay down. That’s why I tried to get up as fast as possible! Thanks for reading Ribana!😃😺⛄🐺🐺

It does make a person feel a bit nervous. This was my first close encounter with wolves, have had 3 others. One was even worse, in the summer and at night! Thanks for reading Jim!
