True so true. We all do our best to protect our loved ones. Particularly the tiny ones. My hubby says if we ever get in trouble camping it's cause the Razz man will go after the bear, and our BRT's will wade into protect us all.
And that got me to thinking. Maybe we shouldn't camp in the wilder places. The more remote provincial parks. Before we had Razz and Zoey, we went with Magic to lake Superior - Agawa Bay campground. Oh Mary the landscape was stunning, we camped literally 100 feet from the shores of Lake Superior, superlative sunsets, grand and many hiking trails. But wildlife was there. My hubby said, when I bought the bold orange collar and leads because I didn't want Magic mistaken for a bear, he said your crazy no-one is going to mistake him for a bear, I said hummm. First two days on the trails, the three folks we passed said at first my heart leapt , I thought he was a bear coming up the trail at me, then I saw the orange.
Well we went swimming at another place and up ahead on the road, was a real bear. He was young, and foraging for food. Thank God, Magic didn't notice him, I just turned 90 degrees around and said to hubby we are going. He said why, I said look up ahead!. Oh okay let's get out of here.
Razzle is lots my alert than my Magic boy, and in fact so is Zoey. I replay that situation with three dogs on lead, and well, it's kind of scarey. Some things for us to think about.
