HUDSON's FIRST BEAR

They're baaack, out and munching about. So far the Beswetherick clan has sighted four bruins this season. Hudson zero, until today .... I was nervous about how he might react. Didn't want him bringing the bruin charging back at me in all his puppy excitement at things new.

And then today, as we were out doing a retrieve session on the lower soccer fields at Myrtle Philip school, first the frisbee, then the bumper ... he got wind of something wild ...

Oops, in my excitement trying to photograph the bruin, control puppy, and not drop all the gear, frisbee got in the way, and bear dipped out of sight...

Hmmm ... maybe this is why the Mounties were mounted, er, parked outside the park. School kidlets were due out, and due care is taken when there is a bear on school grounds.
