    Talking Definitely Not Fly Fishing, but fun as heck!

    Just some pics of what the family got to do the other night - baby black bears, what a hoot! ANyway, just thought we'd share with our FAOL family. Enjoy!

    Cathy and a new friend:


    The Kid and his friend Loren with a couple of young cubs:


    Dad and the cubs:


    Nothing but a dry well...but he worked on it for about half an hour:


    Bears, claws and blood, hmmm:


    I think that hand will survive - no teeth yet:


    Bed time:


    My big ole belly must have reminded him of momma...:


    So long for now!


    Hope you all enjoyed this. We had a blast!

    Kelly.

    That's really awesome Kelly! I'm impressed there doesn't seem to be any fly material...er...I mean FUR missing from those youngsters! )

    So...whats the story? These cubs have collars...are they on loan from a zoo or something?

    Who said there's no fur missing...just kidding. Yep, these are captive bred bears at our local Bear park.

    Thanks Kelly,
    You brought a smile. We recently lost a miniature schnauzer that used to sleep on my belly just like that cub bear.
    Where you go is less important than how you take the steps.

    Those are the cutest little guys I've seen but I can't take my eyes off that nice soft belly fur. Just a couple of quick passes with an electric razor and....... Bad Eight Thumbs, Very Bad! Boy those claws could redecorate your whole house in the matter of a couple of hours. Thanks for sharing some great photo's. 8T
