Did I ever tell you the story of the bear?

Okay, I know I hadn't since I had not updated my journal since July. So before I begin to relay the story, here's a pic of Piper:

Okay, that was scary to imagine... fun to read but, yes, scary! So I guess you live someplace with lots of wilderness around. And the pic of Piper - she's so adorable!!! Absolute sweetness ♥ Thanks for sharing that! Rena :)

Thank you! (About Piper).

I live in a rural area outside of Seattle (about 30 miles out) that just touches the vast wilderness of Washington state. There is a reason that the nearest suburb is called Wilderness Rim. LOL!

It was scary, but for some reason, I just wasn't that scared that night. *shrugs*

Now that was a time when you could have really used that chainsaw that you wanted to buy to carve a bear, and a perfect example of Murphy's other law. The one that says 'at the worst possible moment.'
You've fallen in love. I can certainly understand. She's beautiful.

I have fallen in love. Every time I look at her, I positively beam.

And chainsaw?! That's a bit overkill. LOL! Sort of a Scarface for the Pacific Northwest. How would I explain using the chainsaw on the bear?

'I was carving a tree out of the bear. You know, art imitating life kind of thing.' :P

Staying inside definitely seems to be a good idea. Congratulations on surviving and having a daughter. I don't know what I would do if I had that sort of wildlife in the backyard - especially considering I freak out at the sight of a spider.
You did well!

Staying inside is good - until the bear could learn to use a door knob.

You just get used to all the wildlife around here - bears, elk, deer, cougars...

I read this and thought "I've missed her So much". Nio one makes laugh, spurts my tea everywhere like you do. :D

LOL! I knew everyone would get a kick out of this.

Maria with a shotgun...*shudders*
