Jack worked faithfully last night, very methodically... creating himself a nest in the middle of the pen! He snuggled down into the grassy bed, and ignored all our songs and stories about how he would be much happier in his trailer over night. We checked with his owners, and after a reminder about how there was no way to make him do anything other than what he had planned, we left him to sleep in his new spot, set our alarms for Jack check-ins overnight, and took turns making sure he remained unmolested by the Mt Lorne grizzlies.
Colin left for town this morning, to spend a day working in the Fireweed Market Yukon Made Store, while I worried that Jack had somehow gotten frozen to the ground overnight, since he didn't get up until late afternoon. So far, he has ignored the delicious (?) looking mush of potatoes and food scraps that are in his trailer, and has been wandering around his spot, with a bunch of naps interspersed. Here's one of them:
At this pace of garden clearing, we might have him for a bit longer than expected!
Bye for now,
Lauren
