The past few mornings, RT has walked to the bottom of the hill behind our house where the West Harpeth River winds through a corner of our property. There he has discovered a group of river otters. He took the above picture this morning. When we were in Alaska last year, we both enjoyed SO much watching the otters playing in the ocean. So we’re thrilled that we have otters practically in our back yard here in Tennessee. Saturday morning I’m going to the river with RT to see them for myself.

Otters are such fun! One year we had some as special guests at our professional meeting (veterinary librarians).

I haven’t read blogs in months and am trying to catch up a little! I loved reading about your otters! We went to the zoo a couple of years ago and had the best time watching the otters! They were by far the most playful, active little creatures there! Have fun on your walk to see them tomorrow!

I enjoyed reading this post as all you write about. I did not know otters were in the South?

We really enjoyed watching the otters at the Georgia Aquarium. Lil bought a Hairy Otter shirt there.
