So sad that people can be like that. I hope you've done what you can with security settings to limit that kind of access. It seems to have gotten trickier though to do. I enjoy your writing very much and look forward to reading about the latest adventures of Atticus, Will and you.

I hope the manners and boundaries remain as he grows older. <br /><br />Shreve Stockton has a similar philosophy with the animals around her homestead. She treats Charlie the coyote, Chloe the dog and the various cows and chickens the same way you treat Atticus and Will; she allows them to be themselves. The Mudflats has a similar relationship with Brian the moose that frequents her yard.<br /><br />I'll miss Aragorn when you find your farm and relocate. I like bears and he is particularly appealing. I always enjoy when you post photos of him and regale us with tales of the encounter. I have a soft spot for black bears with brown muzzles.<br /><br />Thank you so much of all of the photos of him.mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-82022202510390037612014-07-14T21:24:13.425-04:002014-07-14T21:24:13.425-04:00Love the photos, love the blog.

The natives say that they and the bears are related, and that is why they have lived together peacefully without violence for thousands of years. Perhaps Aragorn believes he is related to you and Atticus. These are wonderful photos, and Aragorn is a truly handsome young bear.<br />Jan Reednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-52654505516464572262014-07-14T18:59:35.118-04:002014-07-14T18:59:35.118-04:00Thank you so much I envy your being close to all o...Thank you so much I envy your being close to all of nature.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00965012441461199822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-86022366710618015982014-07-14T18:58:07.370-04:002014-07-14T18:58:07.370-04:00How wonderful it is to have a visit by such wonder...How wonderful it is to have a visit by such wonderful creatures!

We have since removed our bird feeder from the open yard and have it only in an enclosed courtyard, and we take it in at night. I also have a night cam that captures many interesting photos of the bears as they pass through our yard on their journeys. They were here before us. We respect them and they respect us. I love being a part of their world...much like you do!

I LOVE bears, and wildlife, but most especially I have a fascination with bears. Perhaps Aragorn believes that Atticus is a cub! Nature and wildlife are so amazing. I always look forward to your stories. You are truly an amazing communicator, not only with people, but with the amazing animals that come across your path. I wish you, Atticus, Sweet Will, and Aragorn the best.
