Hey Bear

Do you ever see wild animals?

For the past 11 years my husband, our two children and our dog have vacationed in a mountain lake town. This summer, one night after supper my kids returned from walking our dog and announced they had seen a bear digging into the trash down the street. My daughter didn’t want any part of going back outside but my husband, son and I rushed back out down the road to get a closer look. We were probably within 30-40 yards of the bear. We carefully backed away and decided to return to the cabin when the bear noticed us, straightened its body and glanced in our direction.

The next morning, my husband discovered the bear on the bottom deck of the cabin walking up the stairs. He was coming up the steps. We stood there quietly to observe it. It was thrilling to be so close to a wild animal like that.

  1. A bear! They are definitely in my area in the woods and I think I’d have a heart attack if I saw one in my yard! “Black/attack” “brown/lay down” = I’d be mauled by the time I figure out whether it’s brown or black! 😂
