re: #376 Walter L. Newton

And besides the coyote post that I link to above, we had 3 home entries of bears in the Denver Metro are last year.

And if you remember, I posted pictures of how a bear tore apart all the fencing on our front porch last August, to get at a bag of garbage that my step-critters left on the porch instead of putting it in the top locked cans we have.

When I was staying at friends place I was sitting in the living room and heard something in the kitchen. I thought everyone had gone to work so got up to see who was there. Walked around the corner and lo a behold it was a bear. It was standing on it’s hind legs pawing at the pantry shelf.

Talk about shocking and unexpected. Without a second thought I turned around and high tailed it out onto the deck and shut the door. First thought was ‘who in the hell do you call when you have a bear in the house?’.

Anyways I tiptoed to the kitchen window to see what was up and it was gone. I expect as I hightailed it hightailed back out the way it came in. Did a search of the house and saw the bathroom window was open and shut it. When I told my friend when he got home about the bear he said, “It was in here again? I keep telling Fred to keep that damn window shut.”
