Well I'm here to say our friend Fuzzy did have hair. Very shaggy hair in fact. We had heard he was in the neighborhood. In fact he was in Scott's parent's garage last week. He made an appearance in our neighbor's garage as well.
So Spencer and I were enjoying waking up early. Sitting in the kitchen, me with my coffee...Spencer with his fingers. When something jumped our (not tall) back fence. That's not too unusual. There's an orange cat who loves our sunny berm. But it was way bigger. At first I wondered if it was our neighbor's dog or a raccoon. No. It was a bear!
Since it was out and I was in the event was kind of exciting. I still called the police. A Sheriffs deputy came and knocked. He said there was a Mom and three cubs around. Fish & Wildlife called and said to report sightings. They are keeping watch to see what they do.
I guess that's ok. But I kind of don't feel I can let the kids play outside. This is just a side effect of living so close to the foothills. Every year it's something. Bear, mountain lion, etc. It's kind of neat. Hope you like the pictures!!
So...also the local news interviewed me about my bear. Here's a link to the video:
WOW--nothing that exciting around here!! Mary
