A Bear on my porch!

We have been seeing bears much more than normally this summer. They are seen out in the daylight, and have become quite brazen. We have always had some bears in my community, but now they are seen on Main Street in my town, and in my daughter's town! They never see bears!

So....we are very careful with garbage. No bird feeders either, although there are some people who keep them out.

Last night, the dogs began barking and running around quite late. I heard something on our steps too, but I sure wasn't opening the door~! Nobody comes walking on our steps going somewhere. Outsiders don't come in, so I just knew it was a bear.

Sure enough, when I left this morning, I saw that my neighbors garbage storage was actually ripped off of the outside of her house! My neighbor Terry told me that she found garbage all over in front of her house. So...it was a bear.

We are all pretty scared because they have been seen strolling across our grounds in the afternoon. I don't take the dogs far for a walk either!

Good one!

Judy you be careful. If they can break through car windows they can break into houses.....that is just too scary for me. Have you a plan in case one just won't go away or does get in?
