A cold bear

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.

  2. 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?

  5. 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.

  12. I 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.

  13. Bears? 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.
    Happy Thursday,

  14. That is so sad, if people didn't drive so fast they might have time to brake for animals.

  16. That's sad about the bear...he was probably too fat to get out of the way....ready to den for the winter.

    It was 77° last night, we're heading for 102° today.

  18. Around 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.

  24. Wow, that sure was a very BIG bear!!! Too bad about his tragic end.

    Mom 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.

  28. 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.

  29. We 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!
