Dumb Animals

After last nights fiasco with Pepe at the dock, we left him at the condo and went for one last boat ride "around the block" (oh, and over to Barbour Island for some "rat turd" ice, thank you Ronnie and Lynn). It was so calm and sunny. What a beautiful day the Lord hath made...

On back to the condo for Monica and I while the guys went to take the boat out and get it washed. Well, our neighbor, Ronnie Bragdon, who never gets excited about anything, was running back up the dock telling them, ya'll have to go see the dolphin around the river bend. Well, it ended up that he'd called his wife, Deborah, who arrived about that time with her camera, and she and Ronnie, Wayne and Stacy hopped in our boat and eased around the corner to check it out... It was one of the most touching scene's Wayne says he call recall seeing himself borne of nature. There was what was obviously a baby porpoise, who, through whatever means had died. But, the amazing part? His mama bumping and floating him along up the river headed to the sea ~ Wayne said the baby was swollen, and had obvious signs of missing flesh, so no telling how many hours, or days this poor mother, in her grief and mourning and bumped and pushed her baby along like this. Our only speculation? She was headed out to sea with it ~ Dumb animals? Yeah, you go ahead and think that. All God's creatures, great and small ~ love them all! And God bless her little heart ~
