Surprise Visitors My family owns a Chalet up in the Smokey Mountains and Cookie loves to stand on our porch and bark at the squirrels and birds who live nearby. Yesterday Cookie was barking like crazy, I thought she was having a fit so my daughters and I just ignored her assuming it was just another squirrel. Finally I decided to see what was going on and what do you know we had two black bears, a boy and a girl, playing under our porch!!
They stayed for a long time, roaming around in our yard and playing with our deck chairs. I had to lock Cookie in the house, I was afraid she might jump off the porch. I'm sure the bears would have made a snack out of her, she's too little for a full meal. |
