A close encounter of the wild kind....

[ForeverAutumn]

Due to prompting from you guys, and people I work with, I called the local authorities about the bear. They asked if the bear was destroying anything or hurting anyone. I said no. "Then leave the bears alone. They have to survive too. Just make sure that you don't leave any garbage outside." "Where did you see him?" "Oh, yeah. There are plenty of bears over in that area. Just leave them alone."

Okay dokey pal. You've got a deal.

Welcome to the neighbourhood. Consider yourself initiated.

Now, I suggest that you go out and buy a very big and very mean dog.

I thought of that too. But the dog doesn't need to be either big or mean. I once had a toy fox terrier. He was about 10 pounds and the friendliest dog I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. But if another animal came around, watch out. He chased away many dogs that were 10 times his size.
Cute too.

It's time me thinks, for another fearless, fourlegged friend to keep the local wildlife at bay!

Aawww... How cute. What are they? How big do they get? What kind of personalities do they tend to have.

Our latest litter. 17 days old.
Miniature Wirehaired Dachshunds. Top weight between 10 and 11 lbs. Bold, fearless, loyal and very protective.
I use mine for tracking and holding wounded game at bay, and for driving out Foxes from underground burrows. Susan shows them.
A place in the country needs a dog.

Peace

Too bad you're so far away.

After this, I agree. A dog would be nice. My lil' toy fox would have been between me and that bear making a lot of noise.
