Didn't expect them so soon. Have to get the frying pan ready.

Moro in the field hospital. She's slowly getting better.

Had to wait a moment with an ill dog at the vet's in a nearby town – he had an urgent case.

Managed to convince Vuko that lilies-of-the-valley are poisonous.

Wild black cherry (Prunus serotina) fruit are starting to appear. The rest of the picture is completely out of focus.

I don't want to know how many fires this truck remembers.

A miniature Irish Wolfhound. They lived in Ireland millions of years ago, when Ireland was still very small.

Just kidding. This is Masza, of the #IdąPsięta pack of #Polesia wolves.

We secured Dorotka's nest in the morning. Sorry, foxes, no juicy turtle eggs for you.

A monument to the best dog.

I initially made a typo and wrote #GodsOfMastodon and realized that, thank Dog, some use this hashtag for their dogs. Although I do believe cat people would argue about the usage.

I will try to remember to tag all pictures of three dogs together with #HowlyTrinity

This is a regular junkyard now – our house is still under construction. Dorotka decided to lay her eggs where the steps to the porch are supposed to be. The construction of steps will now have to be put on hold for three months until the young turtles hatch. Talked to the park rangers – they'd rather not take the eggs from here to their hatchery– they're too busy with other turtles. This year is exceptional. The European pond turtle is a rare species and it is strictly protected in Poland.

Fuck, fuck. She found what she thinks is the perfect spot for the nest.

Dorotka walking through grass to find the best spot to lay her eggs. I didn't want to bother her much, so this was taken from far away, sorry for the quality. Also, it was getting dark.

#Polesia #PolesiaTurtles

She looks like Dorotka, who's been coming to lay her eggs near our house for the past six years, with a break or two. Now we'll go through the archives to make sure it's she.

#Polesia #PolesiaTurtles

Fuck. They're back.

#IdąPsięta looking for water that was here recently. They'll get water when we get back home, but many wild animals have to travel further to find a place to drink.

White man's footprint. And white man's tire prints.

From Wikipedia: "Reportedly brought to the Americas by Puritan colonizers, plantain was known among some Native American peoples by the common name "white man's footprint", because it thrived in the disturbed and damaged ecosystems surrounding European settlements"
