On June 30, my family's two golden retrievers treed an animal, which isn't unusual. What was unusual was the particular animal they treed...
is that a bear?🐻
@Sphinx Yep. Black bear.
Wow. did it scare you ...?
@Sphinx When I went outside and saw it, I was taken aback a little.
They're increasingly common where I live because the area mostly returned to forest after most of the old inefficient farms went belly-up in the 1930's, and that forest is starting to mature.
Understood. I never saw a bear in person
if I did. I probably run faster than anyone else.
@Sphinx Even with black bears, you should be careful. And never go between a mother bear and her cubs.
