THE BEAR

About a month ago I was letting the cat in when I heard a noise over by the trash. I glanced over and there was this mangy hairy bear. I was so shocked I gave a little squeek and ran to tell Bay (who had gone to bed) I apparently was a smidge excited when I told him and scared the begebers out of him. But he didn't get to see it. When we got up in the morning the bear had dragged the trash can over this huge redneck pile of wire and wedged it between Bays truck and the chainlink fence. UGH! It scattered trash everywhere bent the trash can and walk over bays truck.

I called the DOW. They weren't to concerned "the bear hasn't been aggressive to people" was what I was told. "Put the trash in the garage (Which is full of the redneck wire spilling onto the driveway) or buy a bear proof can. " "If people would just take care of their trash the bear whould go away." So I checked on a bear proof can. And absolutely NOT it was 500.00! So over the course of the next few weeks the bear was in our trash every night. I would stay up and it would alway come at 11:00 pm. So I would go out and yell and scream at it and it would run off. Then the next morning I would call the DOW. Soon it got to where they wouldn't answer or return my calls. Then one morning at about 10:00am we were driving down the road and there right in the middle of the road was the bear! Right in a kindof busy road. Oh my heck I thought they have to listen to me now!! So we pulled up a little closer and the bear ran to a tree like it was going to climb it and I rolled down the window and stared it in the eyes and took a few pictures with my cell phone. Before it ran off.

I called the DOW yet again and they again didn't respond. It continued to get into our trash for the next few weeks and now for the last week it hasn't been around. I think it is too hot. When it cools down I sure it will be back and I will be ready! I will let the DOW know that I am a very good shot and if they don't come trap it, I will deal with the bear myself!
