So, Kristina is outside about around 1:00pm and she is feeding the squirrels (i.e., filling up their peanut box) and filling up the Stellar Jay bird feeder with peanuts as well when all of a sudden she hears all of this noise coming from the thicket that is between our neighbors' yards. Kristina was at the back of the yard near her hammock when she heard all of this commotion. Anyway, whatever that was coming through sounded BIG, so she begins making my way towards the house when finally she sees something black -- and out popped the bear. He looked at her, and she looked at him -- and they both didn't want anything to do with each other. He headed for the thicket at the back of the yard and Kristina headed for the house. Meanwhile as soon as he starting making commotion but hadn't popped out, Indy was barking. As soon as he popped out of the brush, she went bananas! She IS a guard dog!
He quickly disappeared in the thicket, but Indy continued barking her head off. Kristina gave it a minute and so and then went to put the bird feeder back and clean up her stuff. Indy went bonkers again and didn't stop until Kristina made my way towards the house again. Indy sat out on the deck for a good 15 minutes waiting for the bear to re-appear. He never did.
Kristina isn't sure where the bear ended up. He might still be hunkered down in the thicket. The trail was very busy today since it was a nice day and a Saturday, so Kristina would have expected to hear someone scream or something if he had crossed the trail.
Anyway...another crazy day!
