Patty!!! What a terrifying experience! So glad it ended well and you're all intact. Thanks for sharing that story as I've become lax about taking my pepper gas with me when I go afield here, beneath "Cougar Ridge." You can bet I'll have it this week! A few weeks ago we had a big black bear sow and her two cubs here "milking" an old apple tree for remaining fruit, highly entertaining. I video-taped some of our Fjords calmly nearby, within the same view frame! Yes, they were eating too =)) Hope you get rested up from your thriller-diller of a weekend! Ruthie, NW MT too
