Bear Facts

We had a young bear who took down our feeders on July 4th. After the horse was out of the barn, we started taking in the feeders at night and it worked to our advantage at least once, as on Sunday, the 12th, a really big one strolled down our front sidewalk, startling Holly so much she stuttered, “Bear…bear…bear…bear…” which got my attention away from the CSI crime TV show. We tracked the bear around the house and garage twice before he/she headed toward Tony Caretta’s and disappeared. Haven’t seen one since. I still maintain that they look very healthy, but no way can something that size be considered cute.
