Emergency Protocol

"Don't panic! Just pretend you're dead
and he won't even know you're there!"
"Seriously? And just who in the world
gave you that advice... the bear?"

Are you calling me obsessive? LOL! It's a bit of a love/hate situation, this writing business. Trust me, if I were to post everything I've written people would be overwhelmed and wouldn't know where to start... tree sounds like a safer bet than pretending you're dead... good call! :)

Didn't Yogi Bear do anything for honey? Or was that Winnie The Pooh. Your way is much funnier and it definitely works with Koalas.-Red

Haha... I enjoyed your creative comment! I never thought of koalas in this fashion before!

Too funny! Actually just standing and gaping works well too. I tried that once.

There seems to be more than one "genius" survival techniques to be used to outwit the bear... sound advice... ha ha ha.

I think I will do the running thing, or at least try punching him in the nose.

Oh...read a story about bear mauling in Reader's Digest (Fav magazine) that haunts me yet. Good write, my dear. Would be good to know where that piece of advice came from. ;) I DO know one thing....If anyone messes with my 18 year old gorgeous cub...he better pretend he's dead cause I'll rip him apart limb by limb! ;) Yea...she does call me Mama Bear for a reason...and you thought it's because I'm cuddly! ;)
