The above photo (header photo) was taken Christmas Day in our back field. We've always gone for long walks back into the bush during the day with 2 dogs for protection but no gun. Maybe we'll have to rethink that. I have noticed that if I go for a walk when the sun's going down, my 2 dogs refuse to go any further than 100 yards or so past the barn, leaving me to decide whether I want to go further on my own or not. It isn't so bad during the summer but this time of year, they just refuse to go any further. I figure that animals are smarter than we are in such matters so I'll take a cue from their fear and not go any farther, either.
I just found out that a bear has taken up residence 2 roads away. Actually, there must be 2 bears since there's now a cub. The dead-end road that she lives near has been a great place for a few hikers and local joggers because of its seclusion. My 2 daughters biked up there when we first moved here but they won't be this summer! A lady who lives right near that road used to jog there until she found herself on the path, trapped between the mother and cub. I think she jogs somewhere else now!
