A Bear Got Into Our Trash Today!

Yes, there was a black bear digging through our trash today, but regretfully I was at work while it happened. I would have loved to get a picture of that for the blog! While my husband and I were chatting with our mailman at the gym, he told us that he caught the bear digging in our trash as he was leaving our front porch and heading back to the mail truck. The bear was hovering over our trash can trying to get it open (we have "bear proof" trashcans that make it difficult for bears to open the lid). Our mailman said he was a little worried at first, but soon realized the bear didn't care one bit about him...he just wanted to get to the bottom of our trashcan. I'm guessing he was hungry for the leftover shrimp I cooked the other night. Since "Mr. Bear" was so focused on the leftover shrimp, our mailman was able to hop in his truck with a clean getaway.
