Seriously though, you are friggin lucky. Bears are fast and I'm surprised he didn't think Phoebi was a scooby snack. Holy smokes, I probably woulda froze and wet my pants. |
Great ... the rest of the night I'll keep hearing "RUN, Forrest! RUN!" :p Seriously, glad you and your babies are both safe. If the black bear is interested, he could have MY cat. JK -- he's just become a "man cat" and is rutting something awful. The spay appt. -- which was supposed to be next week -- has been postponed until next month. :eek: Oh joy of joys!!! |
I'm w/ you I would have kept running like Forrest Gump :yelrotflm :lol tears |
:eek: Thank God you all were able to outrun that thing!!! Now .... :sidesplt: I want to thank you for the images that will be playing in my head for a long time to come!!! As I was reading, I pictured the cat passing you like a streak and the outline of her body on your front door as she didn't even slow down when she hit the porch!!! :D BEARS in New Jersey neighborhoods??? I wouldn't have followed "protocol" either ... you did the SMART thing .... Forest would be proud!! :lol tears |
That is scary to have a bear in your neighborhood.:eek: The good thing is that it was a black bear and not a grizzly bear. It is very rare for black bears to be aggressive towards humans. They're usually just out looking for food, and will often run away if they come close to people. But I agree, finding one in your own neighborhood is TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT LOL :eek: When we go camping at Sequoia, the black bears come into the campsites sometimes looking for food. Over at the Lodgepole, they aren't as bad, but we stayed at a more rustic camp ground called Dorst a few years back. Now there were some active black bears! I was so afraid at first, but after a while, you discovered if you just called "Bear!" and made some noise with your pans, they'd run off. They are very pretty too. |

We've had a bear problem around here for close to 10 years now. In those 10 years the bears have learned not to fear humans....not such a good thing! There have also been many reports of small animals missing and last year 2 people in a neighboring town lost their small dogs....one yorkie and one poodle. :cry: And you're very right Misty......they're beautiful animals! His coat was so black and shiny. |
OMG :eek: What a story! Thank God you guys are ok! See it pays to walk one at a time, can you image having to grab 2 and run :eek: |
How scary, i would of lost it, we got them around here too ,allthough never seen one , people about 5 miles away claim there is one once in a while, too close to me as we live in the country......my eyes are allways darting around for Wildlife :rolleyes: |

HOLY MOSES! I would have been running so fast, my clothes would have burned off! Elbows and a$$holes...that's all you would have seen!!! I could NOT imagine being that close to a flipping BEAR!!!!:eek: :eek: |
that is so crazy.....i would have ran like heck too!!! Benji would have wanted to go play with it or something. He is always like that to things bigger than he is. When I lived in NY, we used to go camping in the Adirondocks. One time a bear was behind my cousin and I and we ran into the bathroom and didn't come out for like a hour. We we only about 10 and scared as heck. |

That is too scary. I can just see you now running like the dickens to get away from that thing, boobs a floppin everywhere. LOL......sorry I know it isnt funny but the way you told the story had me laughing out loud. I had one run right out in front of me 2 days ago in Glenwood Springs. Lucky I was in my car or I would have crapped my pants too. The next day it was on the front page of the newspaper, they had to tranquilize it and relocate it. I dont know what I would have done if it was that close. Seems like the dogs would have smelled it and let you know it was coming or a neighbor would have yelled at you to give you a heads up. Good thing you were only a few feet from your house. Scary!! |
