Bear on the porch

NHboat61: why would you feel okay about circling a swimming animal on a jet ski? I don't care if you were observing the 150-foot rule - just doesn't seem like a good thing to do.

There were skiers and tubers around and I was concerned that they would not see the animal and run into it. It's head was barely above water. I just idled around it so others would see me.

thanks for the clarification. I know when they swim you can only see a little blob of a head above the water. Amazing they can swim at all with thos skinny legs!

OK, they're not exactly "like a dog".

My yellow lab can climb the ladder on our swim raft. So, not all dogs can climb, but some can.

It's funny that I just saw this thread. My son just called me from M-Dith and told me a big momma bear actually broke the storm AND entry door to the guest cottage. She had 3 cubs with her that were in a tree until she "called" them to come down. Exciting morning.

That bear and 3 cubs is still around here on Meredith Neck off Cummings Cove Rd. She and her 3 cubs were spotted checking out our trash barrels which were empty last week by the neighbor. No damage and they left quietly.

More "species interaction", from the Weirs Times:

I see the previous link is no longer available...so after a brief ad...and a brief Jimmy Fallon (seen in Wolfeboro seasonally)...a too-brief shot of a bear climbing a ladder to observe the cameraman.
