Hey Sweetie....see that shovel leaning against the gate?

That's what you use to discourage MOMMA BEAR......!!!!

There was no time for that: The bear already had hold of one of the small dogs (”Alexandria”, time = 00:54). Plus, I’m not sure the girl wielding a shovel could knock the bear off the wall. It might just enrage the bear.

A 5 round 12 ga. pump shotgun with some of these rounds would be a good bet:

Lacking that, or similar,), it was “Fortune favors the bold”. (And quick.) At least this time.
