The bears are totally fine. They poop near my porch but I never see them. My dog has a “bear bark” and when she alerts us on a walk I make loud human noises and the bear hides and everyone is happy. But when I was planning on having a ranch I was going to have guard donkeys for my yaks.

Great article! My mom’s side are descended from Puritans and it really shows. I’ve always been fascinated by that. Even though I am English/German/Cherokee on BOTH sides, my dad’s side has always been pro-education, not prudish, & all gave up church once it was socially allowable to do so.

Probably why I developed a deadpan humor, tbh.

I was totally standing over a fairy armadillo and it didn’t notice me for the longest time. Too busy digging for bugs.
