A Hit At The Bear Bait......?

"Tom".... (the bear guide helper)..... decided to put out bait in "our woods"...... ???? near the house?????

It wasn't long when he thought of  the perfect spot and was off putting up his required sign ..........

and putting out his bucket of sweet treats..... "Bait"

NOW a few blogs back I think I talked about the girls and I mowing paths in the woods.......ummm yep!   He drove (4-wheeler) to the end of one of the paths and put out his bait.......threw some logs over it as that's what they do........

"What about the girls?".... I asked.  "You will just have to watch them".... was his answer.  "No problem!"...  I replied.  Thought a stupid answer back at him was called for...... he didn't get it anyway???

The next morning the girls were out doing their morning duties and ran off into the woods to investigate the happenings that took place in the night..... There are lot's of new smells and I noticed the noses in the air and than they headed down the path Tom put his bait on......

OH BROTHER..... I slipped into some shoes and was in hot pursuit..... as I neared the end of the path where the bait was I could see Sarah and Emily at the bait station........

They wagged their tails and ran to me.... "Mom.... look what we found!"........ lol  How do you tell them that they no longer are allowed to play where they have been all summer.....

Later that morning when Tom woke up to greet the day...... I sat on the edge of the bed as he sipped his coffee........

"Something has been at your bear bait."  I started the conversation.  "Oh yah"...... was his response as I sparked his interest to listen........ "BUT I don't think it was a bear..... the logs weren't moved."  He was quiet for awhile while processing what I said.   "I think I know what it was"..... I added after I gave him time to think about it.  He looked at me with questioning eyes........ so I smirked and nodded toward Sarah and Emily........ He got it and laughed.

"What are we going to do about it..... ????"......... "I'll just have to tell Bob I can't keep the dogs away from there"......  "WHEW!"... I was relieved he said that, being his own idea.

NEXT DAY:   Yes there is more...... Alz changes his mind a lot or doesn't remember prior conversations or decisions we have agreed upon......

I came in from outside...... " I talked to Bob this morning"...... "OH?... and did you tell him about the dogs getting into the bear bait?"....... "NO but he said he was bringing out some scent to attract bears"........ "Does it also repel dogs?"...... "I DON"T KNOW CINDY...... OKAY?" ......... he just used the "C" word... the end of discussion!........ YIKES!
