| Now that I've had time to change my undies..... and calm down a bit.....I can tell yall about my wonderful walk this morning with Phoebi. I had just gotten back with Chan, put him in the house and took her down the road in the opposite direction of how I walked with Chan. She went about 100 yards, make her poop and we were heading back when I heard this very low "woof"....thinking on it now, I should have known. But I kept walking a bit and not a few seconds later did I hear an even louder "woof". Best way I can describe it is a "woof" but it's actually like a "huff" sound.... So I quickly bend down and scoop her up and look over my shoulder. Not 10 feet behind me is the BIGGEST BLACK BEAR I have ever seen!!!! They're not uncommon around here and I know all the proper protocol.....don't turn your back on them....walk slowly, while facing them..... Well THE HECK WITH THAT......this old bag ran as fast as she could the 200 feet to my front door and threw myself in!!!! He continued walking up the middle of the road like he owned it! (basically he did!) Came in called the police to come and document his visit but they didn't see him. God only knows where he is now. So we're locked in the house like a bunch of criminals.....too afraid to even go out by the pool. I figure he'd think that was a big water bowl! Oh forget to say....Rachel (my cat) walks with us. Poor thing....I think she's shell shocked. Her eyes are still the size of silver dollars and her tail is so poofy I'm afraid it's going to explode!

Poor Rachel....everytime someone makes a move she's up and running. Think it'll take her a few days to recover!
