Woof, woof...woof woof woof - bear alert!

[Maryann,Roo and Tigger]

Yesterday  it was 95 here and hot.  The bear we named Chicago was very hot too. First picture -Chicago

is sitting in the automatically filled water bucket that is supposed to be drinking water for the deer and other animals.

Second picture - Chicago is really in the bucket - probably need new bucket, definitely need to clean it out if still intact.

Third picture. Here's looking at you.  After a half an hour in his spa, Chicago needs a rubdown.  Poor bear, has to do it himself on the trees, no bear masseuse available.  In this picture he is looking right at us.  We are on sundeck and he is about 30 feet or so uphill.

Fourth picture - Homeward Bound.  Doodles are exhausted and have quit barking and settled on the patio furniture for a nap, so Chicago goes west three homes to annoy the two basset hounds there.  We can here them bay, which sets of Roo and Tigger again briefly.
