ANDREW GABLE: Canine Hoofprints

Hey Jon,

Wanted to send you some pictures I took this morning... now, allow me to preface this by saying that these are undoubtedly dog tracks (either from our dog or our neighbours' dogs) planted in snow that had melted for a few days. We've heard from CFZ research tonnes of things on how melting tracks in the snow can resemble something they're not. When I saw these I was struck by how hoof-like some of them appeared, although as I said, they are indeed, dog tracks. Not saying that all of the supposed "devil's footprints" discoveries are of melted dog prints or anything, but just interesting from a general sort of P.O.V.

    Too bad the snow is melted off in our yard now. We had some dog tracks that had melted to veritable lion size by the time it was melting off. I briefly had the thought "I do not want to get anywhere near whatever it was that made those tracks". Or maybe I left my tulpa running, n'est-pas?
