20110304 Muskrat
These photos document my close encounter with a Muskrat. We were alerted to the Muskrat by the non-stop barking from our dog. Luckily the camera was handy and I quickly stepped outside to collect a few photos. Later when I viewed the photos it was clear that this Muskrat was in less than top form: its left eye appeared blind. The fact that it kept approaching our dog despite the barking also makes me wonder whether its hearing was impaired.
