i don't know

at 5.15 am in summit county there is enough daylight to see, not everything but most things. the animal i saw today scared the shit out of me, it wasn't a dog, or maybe it was. i couldn't really make it out, it walked leisurely away from me down the road, not fearing me as much as curious. it looked to be the size of a dog, a big dog. i had to double back and detour around it, quickly. i didn't want to be it's breakfast. it could have been a mountain lion but i don't think so, it was the right color, size, hmmmm. whatever it was we were both surprised to see each other.
