But they have bears

Yeah... And even with the snow a few are still awake

You ever seen a hybrid? Polar Bear/Grizzly?

Apparently this is not new. Been doing it occasionally since the Pliocene....

So Not the result of Global Warming.

A growlar bear

Sounds like a bear not content with a six-pack

Glory to God, I am way too far south for polar bear.

Those things scare the tar out of me.

I don't think you need to worry about getting West Nile from a bear bite.

I think you're right bunny.

I did my very first bumblefoot surgery tonight. Both of my daughters came to help. One kept the rooster immobilized, and the other dabbed blood away, so I could see, and passed the things to me that I needed. For the most part, I think I did ok. One foot had at least 3, but they weren't too big, or too deep. The other foot, just had one, but it was fairly large, and deep. I think I got it all, but I'm not entirely sure, however, he had been through enough, and so had I. I'm not willing to put my animals through endless torture, and this was my first time. I washed the feet with blue dawn dishwashing liquid first, then rinsed, and dried. After the surgery, I used lots of Betadyne, packed it with neosporin (no pain reliver), and covered with a non-stick Telfa pad, and wrapped it in vet tape. I figure, even if I didn't get it all, at least getting most of it out, and all the antibiotic ointment should be far better than the way it was. When we put him in his cage, he stood up, took a couple shaky steps getting used to his bandages, then he seemed steady, and began eating. It was past his bedtime at this point, so I began dimming the lights, and he laid down. My daughters had no clue that I had never done anything like that before. They had no clue I was scared at first. LOL!
