Come on Mom - I know its cold but we need a walkie. From 70 degrees on Monday to 36 degrees today....bbbbbrrrrr it was a sudden change. But Mom being the brave old soul she is - she bundle up like an Eskimo and off we went to MY park. We were loving the cold wind blowing through our furs but Mom said we could only have a short walkies today. Hey remember the other day we let you know how the little town of Oil Trough got it's name (from the trough they used to melt down bear fat) and we said they must of wiped out all the bears around this area because they hadn't been seen around here for a long time - well last night a truck hit a big brown bear just north of us and when we say big we mean BIG - this guy was 600 pounds of bear !!!!! Sadly his battle with the truck didn't end well and Mr Bear is headed to the happy hunting grounds over the bridge - but we thought it was interesting that there are still bears around here and it has Mom double thinking about where we go walking.
I luffs your walkies photos guys....will need lots of these as I'm confined to barracks for a whole week ! I'll go stir crazy without your lovely photos to look at!

WOW! Bears are right in your area! Make sure you make a lot of noise when you're walking in the woods. Denny will just have to learn to bark more...right?
ReplyDeleteSad about the bear. Blimey he did sound big. Have a tremendous Thursday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
That's a big bear! Makes you wonder where his family is. ;)

I feel bad for the bear although I imagine he did some significant damage to the vehicle. The cold air arrived where I am as well and the dogs LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky you have a built in fur coat
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward
we did not know there were bears where you lived...

Hey Reilly & Denny!
ReplyDeleteWow, the weather did the same thing here in my territory too! Brrrr is right. BOL OMD I have bears too and I'm glad there are still some around your area. Where there is one, there are surely more. They are so beautiful and I bark at mine from the safety of my house. BWAR HAR HAR ahem. (They are BIG!)
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, Police Commissioner
Love that photo of wind in your furs Reilly.
ReplyDeleteYou be careful of those big bears now.
Toodle pip!

Wow... da wind is really blowing your furs, Reilly. Great pic!!!!!!

That is very sad about the bear :-( It is freezing here too, stay warm!
ReplyDeleteI never saw a bear, they are very rare here... probably because we have too much trucks. Your mom is a brave mom that she bears the cold weather to take a walk with you.
ReplyDeleteBears? Oh My! I love a cool breeze through my furs, pals. I hope you can enjoy the weather even though it is a bit too cold there.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday,
Oz
That is so sad, if people didn't drive so fast they might have time to brake for animals.

Our temps dropped and it is now snowing as we bark. Poor bear.

That's sad about the bear...he was probably too fat to get out of the way....ready to den for the winter.
ReplyDeleteIt was 77° last night, we're heading for 102° today.
Trust me its even colder here! I wish I had all of your fur to keep me warm! Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteAround our place you have to watch out for bears, moose and coyotes, not so much where we live in the suburbs but certainly out in the more rural areas. A friend of our had their dog attacked by a bear and they were on their own property.
ReplyDeleteCOLD here TOO...
ReplyDeleteOMD Sarge is NOT yankin your walkin string about Bears being around his house... I once found a big pile of Bear POOP right in his yard.. THANKFULLY we did not see the guy that deposited it.
What a brae Mama you have!! We don't think our Mama would go walking in Brrrrrr cold weather!!
ReplyDeleteSmileys!
Dory, Jakey, Arty & Bilbo
The colder temps are heading our way too! RIP Mr Brown Bear.
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots♥
Mitch and Molly
What a huge bear! We used to be wary of bears when we camped in Arkansas. We have some bear around the bayou but we've never seen one. (thank heavens!)
ReplyDeleteHope all your winter furs were in place......we lost ours for now, but we gots sweaters, coats and even blankies for the dog houses.....But i lke it out in the yard.
ReplyDeleteThe Mad Scots
Wow, that sure was a very BIG bear!!! Too bad about his tragic end.
ReplyDeleteMom took two of us out for walks yesterday and today even though it was really cold for her too. But she decided not to take Phantom because it has been such a sudden change. He is so thin and his coat has thinned too, so he may be sporting a coat this year.
Woos - Phantom, Ciara, and Lightning
Oh my. A bear. Maybe his family will go hibernate soon and u can still go on walkies.
ReplyDeleteCrikey ... The poor bear! How did the car fare? Bet it was a mess.
ReplyDeleteWOWSA!! That is a big bear!! You guys keep you Moms safe, k? Oh, and I loves your furs blowin' in the wind...even if that wind is CHILLY!!! Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby ♥
Thats a HUGE bear. We have them here, and I am always on the lookout, but not sure what I'd actually do if we came across one.
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of deer and coyotes in our area, but fortunately no bear! I don't know what I would do if I ran into one of those on a hike!
ReplyDeleteCan't you two handle a bear if you come across one? Stay warm!
