I have to tell you all what happened last night.
We were all out for a walk after dark and we are walking down a street that is divided with trees shrubs and a winding path down the middle. We are all talking and joking around when I hear Rob say, oh hello kitty... and Teeny Screams THAT IS NOT A CAT!!! She then hides behind Rob. Well Amanda and I had been talking and looking the other way so I just froze... My years of experience as a Textile Display Specialist probably saved my life here.... Amanda says: "What is not a cat?"
Well I look over to see this black blurr running towards us!! It was HUGE! My first thought was... what the heck is a bear doing in town... then all I could think was oh no... you are supposed to play dead for a bear and I was too scared to move.. I just stood there! No doubt looking like a giant bear treat. I knew I was done for. My life literally flashed before my eyes... that was a short flash and one for later discussion... but it happened none the less....
Then as the great beast closed the distance close enough to strike I closed my eyes and tried to find a happy place...
That is when I hear Teen say... Oh it's a puppy!! I thought she had gone mad with fear and was also looking for her happy place... I kept my eyes shut and prepared to feel the hot breath of the massive bear...
The next thing I hear is giggling and laughing... how sad I thought. If only I were brave enough to laugh in the face of a bear. I opened one eye and saw Amanda Teen and Rob bent down and petting a small dog. I can only guess that it had charged in at the last moment and scared the bear away! Brave little animal. I am going to give it a treat the next time I see it for saving us from the bear.
OK, that is it for now I am off to see Edgar, the agricultural vermin deterant engineer. He has some consoling to do. ;)
Later! Q

You are so brave. I would have fallen over and cracked under the pressure.
Actually If i fall over I will probably crack anyway. :(
