Don't let Sammy out alone, ever.

And hide the frozen home made lasagna. True story: One bear kept breaking into a woman's home, opening the chest freezer and stealing her frozen lasagna.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Snowshadow We never ever let Hammy out alone, never have. In Calif., we had coyotes too.

Also, we know all the rules of food/bears. We lock everything up.

Remember, we've been here for 2 years on and off. We're old hands now, lol.

@Snowshadow@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff oops sorry.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Snowshadow You and your apologies, lol. Stop that, you're awesome!

@GottaLaff @Snowshadow I was looking at some really nice bear-proof bird feeders one day, and realized why attract the bear in the first place?

Unbearably cute. I watch the live cam of the bears in Alaska salmon fishing. Good for the nerves.

@GottaLaff The beginning of the true Canadian experience.

There should be a Canadian Experience Bingo Card.
Bear in the yard.
Moose ambling down the street.
Deer in the garden.
Raccoons in the garbage.
Hockey sticks on the lawn.
Sneakers hanging from the overhead wires.
Take out poutine.
Lobster rolls at a picnic table
Timbits
Cars sliding down an icy street
Loons calling on a summer evening

I'm sure there's more...

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@penpencilbrush We've been here on and off for 2 years. Only some of those are happening, we're in BC.

I can't make out the scale of the bear, but it looks like a cub. If so, momma may not be far.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@LexyCameron It was alone. It does look smaller, yes.

@GottaLaff We get it, you moved to Canada! SHEESH! :blobcatgiggle:

Do you know if they are in the area a lot?

I remember when I first saw a black bear not in the zoo. I was in Oregon, and it was stealing my trash. I did not handle things well. :blobcatlaugh:

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@mentallyalex Oh, they're all over the place here. This is the norm.

@GottaLaff We live on a pond near woods and get a lot of wildlife in our backyard. We love watching them. We've had a coyote in our backyard, but no bears yet.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@jcrossonhill We got a lot of coyotes in Calif.

We know they're here, but I haven't seen one yet, but seen a few bears and lots of deer. I love it.
