Be careful what you wish for:
When I was in my early 20s I handled a lot of cougars. But most of them were older women. By that I mean 32 year olds. Yes, that was way too old for me back then. This was one of 2 cougars that I seized from unsavoury types who kept them at home, in a residential subdivision. The cat lady at Toronto zoo gave me crap for handling them. They do not trust these cats.

I had mu finger in the mouth of one. Guy in Wisconsin had one in a large pen. He did it first and then had gullible me do it. I could feel the teeth put pressure on my finger. I can almost still feel it almost 40 years later.

He also had wolves, which he bred with other digs for sled dogs. I was there looking at a 1/4 wolf, part Norwegian hound part other stuff for a pet. He bred dogs for the John Beargrease sled dog race.

The wolf came up to the cage all happy and wagging it's tail. Then another wolf headed towards us and the first wolf turned and growled and snarled at it before turning back to us all happy. The guy said, " it's okay, you can pet him." I still had the hair on my neck standing up. Very intimidating and unforgettable

Anyone else working w/ kids at home on President's day? So far, my kid managed to interrupt 2 meetings in his underwear, but he also made me this really cool Godzilla painting, so I guess we're even?

You and me both. I’d rather be doing just about anything else besides my job right now. Save me OF.

Geez, first we enable each other to buy watches. Now, were enabling each other to shirk our work! And risk encounters with large American wild cats!? Where does it end!?

My job feels like being eaten alive by a big cat most of the time. At least if I actually got eaten by a cougar the pain would eventually end!

Here. But you might be disappointed. We only show watches and wrist shots.

I'm sure we saw a knee once. At the very least half a knee.

It's about time this clubhouse had some security to keep out the riff-raff. This sort of imposing fellow would be just the ticket 😎

Or a pair of mountain lions. 😁 Query: can you wear your Speedy while being stalked by a mountain lion?

Better question: do you wear your speedy while taming 32 year-old cougars?

It’s even less funny in this thread 🤔
Wow. That's hurtful.

I take it "dad jokes" is a cool new term for super funny jokes?

Here's a tamed Cougar.

Tonight’s dinner menu: Bear meatballs and mushrooms over pasta in a delectable sauce. (I’d throw a pic of the bear in, but don’t want to offend anyone). We eat what we harvest in this house.

I’m going to venture this knee does not belong to one of the female members of the forum.

Maybe it’s not a knee…
