Tough to see, but the young black bear is near the telephone pole.

My dog stuck her nose in the air, inside the house Then she started huffing and puffing She can always detect things from a distance Then she paced, ran and starting barking on the porch I went to see what it was and it was a young black bear It was walking through the trees near my yard It went to the street and a car came along and stopped The bear went up a tree for a while as they watched By the time I got outside, it was on the ground It took a quick photo, before it saw me and ran away It was a special detected sighting from my dog today Heidi Sands 6/26/22

I can barely beleive this what bare faced cheek Heidi.' I bet your face was a picture.. At least It left the tree though..Otherwise the situation Could have branched out on you.' I need to joke After reading about fauchi and collins being Part of a nazi collaboration.. I could never Have conceived of this 30 years ago,' yet its Happening in my lifetime.'

Lol. Thanks for the laugh. The sad part is, this cub was without a mother due to a wild fire close to my home. Yes, there sure are crazy things happening. I hope you are well :)
