Visitors

These past couple months we've had a variety of visitors. And I need to give some props out to our little dog for being such a great guard dog!!!

Visitor number 1.  here she is hanging out in the driveway, where she stayed for about 3 hours!  Finally the dog got tired of barking at her and went and laid down.

She just hung out here and looked at the house forEVER!!!! And she came back every day for like a week!  Craziness

So the first time our moose came (this one was a boy moose), the dog was barking like crazy, the kids were outside in the backyard, and I was doing dishes. I heard the dog and went out to see who was here. Well i got out on the deck, and looked over to the corner where I park my van and there is a HUGE MOOSE standing there about to fight with the dog.  The girls were in the middle of the backyard,  about 100 feet away from giant moose.  So I yell to the girls to run to the deck.  Lucy did, but macy was just content to watch the fight.  So i ran out and got macy while the dog kept the moose occupied! It was kind of crazy!! Finally the dog nipped and bit and barked enough to chase the moose away!! WOO HOO!



Visitors #2 and 3 were a little different. Dog was barking again and so i run out and see who's (or what) is there and i look down at the lower front yard and don't see anything.  I kept looking and finally saw a brown thing in the tree line, and realized it was  BEAR!!! The dog chased him around and finally chased him across the open area and sure enough...a little black bear!  Crazy!!!


The second time, we were loading up and heading to the car for Tball, and the dog was barking at the backyard tree line, and lane says,.."MOM it's a bear!!!"  So i run to the kitchen door and look, and yup, dog is warding off a little bear from coming in the back yard!! So me and the kids go out on the back deck and watch!! :)  YIKES!!

we need a fence :)

Oh yeah, lane claims to have seen a bear on one of our walks around the lake as well.  I did not see it, he was riding his bike and was in front of me a ways....he whizzed back around the corner and yells that he saw a bear in the road, but it walked away! YIKES!!!   Not sure if that one is fact or fiction, but we were not wasting any time going around that corner back to the car!! :)  looks like i need to carry a gun on our walks too!!
