“And I don’t want to say what. I’m still checking it out. But it looked like a mountain lion, and it was at night. Which is not nutty — there have been sightings of them around here. At 10:30 at night the neighbor’s dogs start barking like something is pulling out their intestines and I jumped up and there was not a lot of light and only a little moonlight, but it was a large animal. It sat with its front limbs straight out, like a cat. As soon as the dogs went into the house, whatever it was turned toward where my husband had been grilling. It made low strides and you could see its big shoulders moving. It reached our patio in four strides and walked around the grill, and probably six-feet long.”
