Teddy is the Schipperke and has white feet. He's smaller but otherwise looks very similar to Bear. Here they are with hubby.

Bear and Teddy are just adorable. They might
decide to water that Christmas tree LOL.
Parents with child who threw teddy bear over the overpass (sm)
I would not! No would I have gone after that teddy bear. I would have told my child, "Oh, well, you threw it, you lost it." That boy is 10 years old! My rule is to never give in to anything demanded through a temper tantrum.
And here is one of Teddy
The trainer came today and worked with him. I hope he leaves the Christmas tree alone.
Where do they allow bear hunting?
I can see it if it is in some area where they are overrun with bears that are getting in trouble, so I'm trying not to freak out here. :o> Bears are cool animals, but then again I wouldn't want to run across one hiking. It would be great to see one from a bus in Alaska, like my parents did.
Bear meat is said to be very strong and gamy, but if you can use the meat makes it a lot less politically incorrect than just hunting for sport. (DH and I used to fish, but it was strictly catch and release).
If you have a big dog, like a rottweiler or ridgeback or malamute maybe, I'd think they could help you, LOL.
I would look on the internet for recipes that use herbs. I like sage and rosemary, but I don't know if they go best with bear.
I would definitely get the fur for a rug or something. The Indians and Eskimos never wasted anything when they hunted, and that's the way to do it.
Good luck finding recipes.
No snow here, but here is Bear.
Bear thinks he's found a bunny. It's just a stuffie though.
I cant even bear to read the article
These girls must be monsters. Also the pro football player just indicted on charges of dog fighting sickens me. If you want to help, you can go to the Humane Society website and they have pre-written letters that can be sent off to the powers that be for him to get maximum sentencing. This world is a mess.

This one made me laugh because bear was one of the best
meals that I've ever had. One of our scout leaders is a hunter, and brought a bear tenderloin on one of our camping trips. He marinated it in Italian dressing and then cooked it over an open flame on a grate. It tasted very much like beef filet. He had enough for every boy in the troop to try a slice or two, and they all wanted more, including our VEGETARIAN scout! Our vegetarian actually hates veggies, so his diet is mostly bread and cheese. When we got back from the trip we told his mom, "Good news! Your son has decided that he likes meat. Bad news is, you're going to have start bear hunting!"
So, this is the only time I've had bear, and I'm sure the tenderloin is the mildest cut. But it was dee-lish quickly grilled with a simple marinade.
Bear is a very handsome boy, congrats
on the new addition to your family.
Finally pictures of Bear available.
Introducing Bear - our new black spitz mystery dog (possibly chow mix, Belgian mix, or my favorite, Swedish Lapphund!).
Oh darn, Bear just ate Santa
right off the tree. I'm not actually a big fan of Santa decorations, but this was one of a set of cute homemade-looking, brightly painted flat ornaments that looked like they were made from bread dough or something. I don't know exactly what they were made of, but it doesn't look like he swallowed much. He's such a puppy.
Bear ate Santa off the tree...now he's...sm
eaten/torn up the ottoman? He probably does miss you a lot Misha....It's a long day without mommy.  Cat
Sounds like Bear needs a crate so you
don't come home to a destroyed house LOL. My dogs love their crates. How was the first day for you?
Humping the same bear toy he suckles on? Hmmm!

Bear season opens in PA the week before T-giving.
I also have a friend who travels to Maine for bear season.
I've seen bears many times while hiking and backpacking in PA and northern NJ. (There are LOTS of bears in northern NJ, by the way.) Also, black bears are very active in Shenandoah National Park as well as the Great Smokey Mountains NP. I do believe that Shenandoah has the densest population of black bears in the world. On one day's 10-mile trek there, I saw five bears! They are very, very cool animals, and I consider it a great treat to see them. I have no experience with grizzlies, which have a different reputation, but the blacks are generally pretty shy and keep their distance. If you respect them and know how to behave in their home, coming across them in the wilderness is not usually a problem.
Clan of the Cave Bear / Earths Children series
There are now five in the series - Ice Age story thoroughly researched by author Jean Aul. There is a website about these as well. Ayla is one of my favorite characters.
I also am a big Nora Roberts fan.
