needless to say, I will not be walking the dogs after dark from now on.

I would be scared to walk my dog in the daylight too...hehhehe
I guess black bears don't attack...but just in case....be careful!!!

Lord dispatch your warrior angels with weapons of destruction to keep everything in it's respectable place. I bind the hands of anything that be not of YOU. Confuse everything that raise to do any harm to this family or that area, in Jesus Name AMEN! *2U

Hmm, you serve very tasty birdseed. Be careful.

yikes! not sure I would come out either after dark...Be careful.

That's a scarey surprise!

Oh my goodness! I hope he doesn't make a return visit!

We also had a little black bear come for a visit. Tried to upload the photo but there was a error. We live in the Blue Ridge Mountains with forrest all around us. We just call the sheriff (not 911) and they get in touch with wildlife services to come and relocate the ones that wonder to far from where they should be.

Yikes! They must be really hungry!

Whoa, that can be scary! It's a shame such beautiful creatures will do us harm. And yes, no dogs or people outside especially after dark but the bears come out during the day too so please be careful!

Where do you live? Keep a gun handy just in case.

Oh my goodness, where do you live.. keep a gun handy.. they can do some major damage to a person.. they will break windows and get in..

Do you have a good rifle or a big gun?

That sounds like real wildlife ;o) Hope you can sleep quite and peaceful in the next nights...
