Luckily I wasn't even 15 feet away and jumped that <expletive deleted> yelling and booting him off the dog. Tom has two indentations on his head now from the two canines, about 3 inches apart. He is going to be a real North Fork Tough Son Of A Bitch .... We were feeding [some] horses and the mountain lion jumped from behind the barn. It was a big healthy animal, it will find some more suitable prey. Didn't you wish you were here... Tom is telling his tale to Bear right now, Ivan is mighty impressed by Tom's scars. ....
