Bears

The day after a neighbor stopped to inquire if I had seen any bears (which I had not), I was driving into my land and saw a large female bear, who, once I stopped and put down my window and said 'Hey!', stood on her hind legs, head swinging, and I saw three very small cubs scramble out of the tall grass, up the hillside. Now we know why Timber and Chena were so alert in that area just a few days ago.

We stayed out of there yesterday, but today went back on a walk down that trail... a log had been turned over and the dogs were very alert, but no signs of bears. I hope they've gone on a long walk to somewhere else. This morning I had five dogs, a bit more noise.
