I think that thing belongs to a bear! It wouldn't be such a big deal if my husband didn't just leave for Canada for a week long fishing trip! Now I am wondering if that big old bear is coming thru the window while me and my little boy sleep! I called the sheriff's dept. and they said the usual, no food outside, no garbage --which we have neither. It started coming around when we put up a new bird feeder, but it kept knocking it over--my DH said it was a racoon. now this......

YOu guys think it's a bear?

Uhhh Yah. Sure looks that way to me. I used to live in a state where there were lots and lots of bears. They would suckle the humming bird feeders like baby bottles. Pull em right off the roof ledge lay on their backs and suckle like little babies! Ive seen lots of bears right in my window and plenty of paw prints just like that. But I wouldnt worry too much. The bears never came threw the window! Just dont leave your slider open with the screen shut. I have heard of them comming threw those screen doors.

Well, we survived the night--no intruders! YAY!

YOu can bet the place was locked up like Fort Knox, tho!

Off to work today--feeling much better now that there is no new activity.

have a good day, everyone-from Kimberly's Wild Kingdom!

Definately looks like a bear to me! Now, that is just a little too close for comfort!

**Alexandra** · 05-31-2005, 01:27 PM

Yikes! I would have fainted dead away. You're a brave soul, Kimberly!

Hello all!

I just got home from work--happened to have a patient who is my neighbor--I told him about the bear--he said , "oh that big thing has been up by our house last week, too!".

I told him I called the Sherrif's dept about it and their only advice was to "have an escape plan" if the bear gets in the house--He just laughed (he's 80!)--and I was thinking the only way I could escape would be to die immediately! But really, we (my DS age 5 and I ) would have to go out the upstairs window and jump off the roof and run like heck! Oh my, paints a pix!

Wait till the DH calls from Canada for his mid week family chat check in phone call! Of course the story will be embellished a smidge to heighten the drama! ha ha

An escape plan--can you imagine what my house would look like if a freaking bear got in here?!!!!! I had friends who had a squirrel in their house and THAT was a disaster!

Oh well. Hope everyone had a good day!

Okay, my hubby confirmed this looks like a bear. It would be nice to see a penny in the corner of the glass, just to really see the size, but unless you have a really big dog...plus your neighbor knew about a bear in the area so I guess you two are really holed up for the night again! Oh My! is right!

Kimber-lilly · 06-01-2005, 07:19 AM

I measured it--it's about 4.5 inches across and 4.5 inches high.

Crazy. I wanna live near some concrete! ha ha

I slept with the upstairs windows open last night--heard something outside around 330 am, but was too tired to get up and look! Can't wait for DH to come home!

off to work!

LOL I know it's not funny but I only see things like that on the news.
Hopefully since he did not find any food at your house he will just move on..

Kimber-lilly · 06-01-2005, 09:44 PM

Well, he probably breaks all the band rules as he eats--so if he comes back to eat, here are the rules:

EAT S_L_O_W_L_Y

Chew all your food WELL

No drinking with eating

Take at least 30 minutes

If you get the golf ball feeling, back off !

Tiny portions

Eat your protein first (as long as it's not me!)

OMG, I'm the most jealous girl in the world right now. I'm a bear & coon fanatic and wish they'd visit me! Why not jut put a big ole bowl of bear food on the poorch for your new fur baby? My friend that lives in the mountains is always chasing wild burrow (mules) off her front porch. She gets really mad cause I coax them over with dog biscuits so they'll keep coming back. Once one stuck his head in my car window so I couldn't move my car because he wanted to drink my Diet Pepsi.

I never knew bears ate bird seed though. I guess if I had a lil one I might worry, or keep a can of hairspray by the window to scare him away.

Mita · 06-02-2005, 12:34 PM

LOL
Kimberly I think he is going to go with the last rule if you ask me and Protien would be you.. Sorry just could not help myself..
