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....:eek:

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.....:shocked7q

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!!!! :tongue3: 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! :D

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! :eek:

OMG!! How scary!!!!!!! I woulda freaked right out!!! Holy crap! So where was your cat then when you noticed the bear??? Were you able to grab her too!!!!????????

Wow, your story gave me chills!

Holy moley. That is a scary thing to have happen. I bet your kitty will refuse those lovely spring strolls for a while.

:eek: OH MY GOD! I'll take my Texas tarantulas (whole 'nother thread I posted today) over your big black bears any ol' day!! Wow!!!

Holy Molyyyyyyy!! :eek: :eek:

That's so damn creepy!! Thank God for the "woof" hahaha

Glad you guys got home fast and safely!

That is definitely scary. Poor kitty, hopefully she recovers haha

Rachel took off running! Let's just say she's alot faster than me...by the time I got to the front door she was already there!

OMG! I would have had a heart attack.

a BEAR ?? a real BEAR ? OMG I'd had probably fainted on the spot ! Holy cow you were lucky...that really could have been an awful experience ...WOW - I can't believe it - i think you're the 1st person I've seen that encounterd a freaking BEAR on a walk WOW

so....did you get pictures ???? JUST KIDDING !!!

We had one to come into our neighborhood years ago, my mom swears she seen one, well to find out alot of people saw it but we use to give her a hard time, we walk in the door and say the bears in the pool...she wouldn't go outside for months....Glad your safe and all the babies are too...I know its not funny but reading your thread I could imagine what I would do and what you did do, your a brave woman.....:D

darn close! :yelrotflm by the time I got this big old lard butt in the front door I thought I was going to have to call the ambulance for oxygen! :yelrotflm

Didn't you know your supposed to lie down & play dead....:rolleyes:

I'm w/ you I would have kept running like Forrest Gump across the U.S. & wouldn't have stopped....skid marks & all ;)

you're so right! Thank God for the "woof"! Asked hubby what the woof means and he said it was their way of saying "get out of the way"!!! No problem there! :D

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

:eek: :eek: sorry to disappoint V! no pictures!!! what was I thinking not taking any....:lol tears :lol tears

I probably did look like Forest Gump.....:lol tears :lol tears

was just thankful these "old lady" b**bs didn't beat me to death or poke out Phoebi's eye! :rolleyes:

Omg how scary, I just saw on the news a little boy was killed by a bear camping with his family :(

They are really scary!
