I was out walking the puppy when one of my neighbors called out to me. A bear had just walked through their yard and into the woods. I just missed it. Yikes! This neighbor thought it was a cub, but another neighbor thought it was a yearling.
Hmmm. Most of my neighbors have appropriate trash storage. I'm of the few that leaves a trash can outside, The combined waste of two dogs plus a cat tends to overpower the attraction of any discarded food, so I haven't had any wildlife try to get into it. One of my neighbors, however, has left hamburger buns scattered around his grill twice in the past week. I wonder if I want to start carrying bear spray on my walks.
