Last Tuesday we had a surprise visitor in our yard ~ a bear! Now we've heard of other people in the neighborhood having been visited by them or seen them but we had not. When hubby went to put the trash out it had knocked over the big tote and pulled trash out. Hubby picked all that up and left for work. I was thinking it was just a raccoon. Then I let our golden retriever out... The bear had drug a bag of trash over to a corner of the yard and was chowing down. Of course our dog had to go over and bark and bark at it. She got within 1 yard of it and I was just worried about her getting attacked so I went after her, trying to get her to back off (later realizing how stupid that was). Luckily the bear was small and not large, possibly an older cub. The bear climbed up on the fence and when our dog would still not stop barking it left, later to be seen and photographed in another yard... I was too busy trying to save the dog to even think of getting a photo. I had to google a picture to draw a bear to commemorate the occasion.

Wow! That's quite a story! We've had moose but not a bear in our yard. I had dachshunds and one time one of our stupid little dachshunds hopped out through the snow right between the front feet of the moose (it was a cow, she had a calf with her). I was so afraid she would stomp the little dog. But the moose leaned her head down and sniffed the little dogs head. Then she came hopping back inside. I SO wish I had found my camera quick enough to take a pic. But I didn't.
