Bad enough when several neighborhood kids spent time in the pool - sand filter, vacuuming, disinfecting, etc.

But cute story. But the bears are not domesticated - be aware.

Paradise, CA… 2018… so much was lost that day…

This video brought me to tears… fearful for the bear family during the recent fires… that she managed to survive w/ the fire so close seems a miracle…

Thank you for sharing, catbyte… what an amazing thing this family is doing… May they all stay safe…
