Lily the Black Bear When Lily was in labor last year she made almost no vocalizations. Hope is the grumbly one in the den. She wants access to the nipples and when she feels she is losing access she grumbles and bawls. -- SM
I have been on for a while now, knock on wood, I do not like the chat but sometimes I want to see if they have an opinion on something, Anyway, the chat is down or it was.
no snow here yet either. but it looks impressive on the radar! I'm beginning to think we aren't going to get any that hits the ground. Which is fine by me!
Cam went for 8min 43 sec this time. I am going to have to get to the pillows. Lolly I hop0e that cub(s) come while you are watching. Wish I could stay longer but due to my eye lids closing .. I best be out of here.
Good Night and Prayers for all Hugs for all ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Lynne, I just cleaned off some rib bones tonight! Want 'em? Poor gal sure has had a rough go. Was the a--hole prosecuted for assault? We had an employee who CLAIMED similar injuries from having an empty cardboard box hit him. We knew d--n good and well that it wasn't anything at work that caused it. He even claimed brain trauma. Really wanted to go hit his drs. up side the head with a box. And now his son is a local cop.....speaks well for the men in blue, doesn't it? Apples never fall far from the tree.
No precip here. Well, since most are calling it a day, I will follow suit. Sleep well. Maybe a watched bear won't pop.....really believe she has a long ways to go. 22 hrs. with Hope.....so, could well be at least midday tomorrow. Good night. Peace and Prayers.
Good Grief! Another late night!! I dozed in chair, then saw the bear report!!!! Thank goodness they say labor is about 22 hrs. & she started about 5PM, so maybe tomorrow afternoon. They also said that Indians call this full moon the Bear Moon, as that's when many bears have young.
As for habby pill---cranked me up after dinner to scrub bathroom & put down new rugs, seat cover, etc! I don't know why, but the salt trucks keep running up the street. I didn't think we were getting anything but rain. Maybe stuff will freeze.

then- Lily the Black Bear The problem appears to be in the WLAH-TV shed. We will head there in the morning when it's safer to travel in this bitter cold. It will be a 30 min snowmobile ride in minus 30F temps. -- SM 52 minutes ago · LikeUnlike · Comment
OUR nest is VERY bright at the moment, but empty. Wonder if the moon is out there. Precip has moved out and clouds are breaking up a bit. We barely got a dusting of snow but I think it may have been freezing rain for a while before it stopped. Guess we'll see in the daylight!
Good very very early morning! Well, not really good. Trouble sleeping and checked on Lily. Cam still down. Headed back to bed wishing for a quick resolution.
GOOD MORNING... Nest has been empty since Megan's last report...maybe they've gone for breakfast. I couldn't imagine why I couldn't get Lily cam this early, without a flock of viewers. Thanks to LYNNE'S comments, I now know! Oh, please hop on that snowmobile, before too long and fix it, PUHLEEZ! Hope Judie was able to go back to sleep, comfortably. I feel so badly for her...Love you, Judie♥
Good morning! Climbed out of a warm cozy bed into a cold house....and the den cam is down and there are no eagles in the nest. And, to top it off I do not want to go get the paper. It is too cold!!!!!!!!!!!
Awake again but briefly. Beginning to see a pattern here. After two days of exertion, I apparently need more time to recover. So, another pill and back to bed.
Lily cam still down. MT nest.
Hope everyone is able to warm up. Do NOT like this cold weather.
Blue Mountain just posted the coolest video on fb. I shared it as it is just the greatest. For those not on fb, it shows a turtle pushing on another turtle to get it off it's back and back on it's feet.
from fb.....Lily the Black Bear Jason is about to snowmobile to the den shed. We borrowed equipment so he could travel and work safely in this cold. -- SM
Good Morning - sunny but brrrrrr cold Our eagle sitting pretty now Thanks Megan for this morning's account of their visit. Wow! Could be a cub(s) by the time that snowmobile gets to the shed. I'm sure that all 8000+ viewers are very anxious for repair. I'm not making any plans today except to stay in and keep warm.
This also off of fb....not good for Sue, can not imagine at -30.
We just talked to Sue Mansfield at the bear center and they are getting Jason the gear he needs to make the trip to the shed. She does not believe he has left yet. Sue has her own problems right now as she has lost heat in her own house. We will keep you posted as we know more.
Good morning everyone. Have my pop up popped :-). HOPE everyone is having a good day including Hope. I am safe and warm in Southern GA while they deal with ice in Northern GA which is exactly where I would be in the mountains no less today had I left as planned Yesterday. Bitter cold back home for a couple of days followed by more snow. SO Dex and I are where we belong for the time being.
Good morning all! We got about an inch overnight (snow) and have had some snow showers this morning, but very sunny in between. Wind picking up. Going to be a nasty cold weekend.
Was brain weary after school last night, so didn't make it here. Fell asleep soon after dinner, in front of the TV.
Lily is in labor?! Can't wait!
Dana, Prayers for Little Man--hope he slept well last night! Is he still eating well?
Hubby and I are meeting my Sis-in-law for breakfast today--gotta go get presentable. Will check in later. Hope everyone has a good day!
Oh--Lynne, Emma only weighed 13 lbs. last Saturday. She was born on 9/15/10. Aren't Springers supposed to weigh 45-55 lbs.? She's not skinny anymore, but definitely not overweight. Still, am feeding her the maximum amt. of Blue Buffalo as listed on the bag. Any ideas? ...Later, alligators! :o]
Andy, can't believe that Emma is so tiny......wow! I am floored.....she's 20 days older than Mai. Yes, 45-55#. At 16 wks. they are supposed to be half their adult weight. Mai is by no means fat, either. When do you see the vet again? I would be worried.....Lynne, what say you??
Sue again posted: Opening multiple den cam sessions will only serve to complicate the access issues we all are experiencing.
Not sure what that means???? TOo many viewers? People should stick to either PIX or Wildstream???? Jason was out there and said a minor fix....???? So good to go for good??
Wow, I can hear the wind at te nest over the hum of the Lily cam.
Just returned from a great breakfast. Jack vooked waffles and bacon, had it with our maple syrup from Vermont. Yum! Then I topped it off with half a grapefruit. Not supposed to eat grapefruit, but sometimes you just hafta!
Looks like Hope and Lily are quiet for the time being.
Andy and Lynn...About Emma's weight...could be lots of variables. That 16 week thing is a "general" size gauge, but usually pretty darn close. Emma could be the runt of the litter. And I don't recall any info on the parents/owners mentioned by Andy. So I don't know if they saw both or either parent dog. And there can be vast differences in how a certain breed looks, even though they may all be purebred. Breeding for a certain "look" is an art. And even with the most discriminate breeding, all of the pups will not usually turn out like a breeder hopes! Even AKC papers are fairly useless. Anyone can register a purebred dog that has parents with a registration. The AKC doesn't have any quality assurance whatsoever.
I don't think there is anything for Andy to worry about. As long as the vet is happy, and Emma is happy, no problem!
All is quiet with Lily and Hope. Think I will now start cleaning the cabinets in the utility room. I remember when I retired and I started cleaning out my school files. Then I thought, gee, if I had done this sooner my teaching would have been better organized. I am hoping that cleaning out the house will give me more room. LOL
Thanks Lynne2 that works (Soper hee hee Super) that link will let those that don't go to facebook hear a beautiful song and see a wonderful video. Thank You (:
I'm going stir crazy watching Lily, had to stop and peel potatoes for supper tonight. Tilapia and potato soup with bits of country ham. Hope Jayden likes potato soup...will fish out the potatoes and put on high chair tray. He does prefer his food in a dish now, instead of on the tray. Makes a mess when the dish lands on the floor, so newspapers will cover the floor tonight:) He also like to hold a spoon or fork while he is eating...doesn't use it, just likes to hold it. He does try from time to time.
Just put some news posts on my blog...a surprise visitor to my feeder, the moon the other night (not as good a Loretta's though), the dogs, and some woodpecker fun.
Well, log didn't work for digger dog---exactly. She pulled it away from hole...then proceeded to chew on it. But guess that's better than digging in mud! Anyway, she wasn't interested in staying out long---too cold and windy.
Dana, SharPei standard weight was always 40# in the past. Of course variations occur. No idea what Mai's daddy was---but strongly suspect lab or some mix thereof.
Ok, Lynne, won't worry about little Emma. Hey...maybe she's a mini! When I got Cinnamon, she was supposed to be a mini.....turned out she was full-sized. Either breeder didn't know which of her males mated with the dam or there was an extra bit of HP going on. Vet, who bred dachshunds herself, thought she was a mini at first......didn't take long to know that wasn't the truth.
Lynne2 - you've got some good runners in your video. Glad Steve could just stand in one spot and still have them in view! Good exercise - that should tire them.
I thought I just saw Hope in the far back of the den. They have had a quiet afternoon so far. **I don't like the way most people speak of Hope as though she is an intruder. She is still a yearling and needs her Momma and the den. There is a lot going on with Lily and I think Hope senses this as the time goes on.
I agree, Jo. It isn't as if other yearlings don't re-den with mom. Gotta remember, too, the trauma Hope went through of being abandoned---twice! She probably has deep psychological scars from that.
I stopped reading the chat there because of just that. I wish someone would come in (Lynn or one of the professionals) and tell the chatters.....that Hope is in no way bothering Lily and this is a "bears life".
Ate my soup and going with Little Man for a panda nap.
we are so glad we fixed the holes in the fence in that field Jo...my guess is that it's at least a half acre but probably more! They love to chase, and it's so much funnier in person to see!
I don't think Hope is an intruder. However, I am a bit worried because although yearlings often den with mom, most female bears only have cubs every OTHER year...if I remember my info correctly. SO I wonder if Hope will deal with her new siblings well. I can't seem to find any info on yearlings and their mom's new babies.
Lynne, love your pictures and the video is great. Lots of energy there! Bosco used to go crazy running in our yard. Old man dog can not do that anymore.
There is no way to get a good picture of the intense look on Puddy's face when she chases Daisy...it's too funny! And she really does keep up with her pretty well! I love my rotten dogs!
Speaking of rotten, I am happy to report that Brother had a perfectly NORMAL stool this morning!! Not only that, but the frequency of the BMs the last 2 days has been just twice a day instead of 5 or 6. I was worried because even last night the stools were SO runny still....but I am very happy now!
My name is Lynne, and my cat's bowel movements thrill me.

Wahoo! We just made our reservations for a camp site at Rocky Mt. Natl Park. Going camping late June. Gotta get back to my walking to be in shape for hiking the mountains.
Jo, they removed your comment and have blocked you. Your comment is no where to be found. I saw it earlier and made a comment myself. Went to Lily's page and got on fine, but your comment is not there.
Thanks Lolly for checking out So much for free speech... I can still get onto Lily's page - I just know not to comment. It's ok.... I wasn't really starting a debate.
Sorry so late, but it was cold in here this A.M., so after getting a little breakfast and some meds, I wrapped up in a warm blanket and took a nice Panda nap. Hahaha, and to tell you the truth, if I hadn't gotten hungry again, I'd probably be still napping.
It's great once in a while, but I better watch it ... unless I can get a Panda space at the S. D. Zoo.
I think that my comment (negative to them) was removed and that is the extent towards me. I can access and 'like' comments on the Lily home page on FB. I think it was the moderater on Lily's not FB......
I'm ok!
Keep your ears open for that new cub squeal.......
Hi all. Been trying to get some school work done while watching Lily. No cub sounds yet. Hope is being a baby who still needs her momma -- lots of Hope humming.
Going to have to abandon the cams and go elevate my ankle.
NBG was a lovely picture this a.m. with an eagle resting in the nest. Very pretty.
OMG, can't believe I could get on internet here!!!!(maybe it only blocks beavers LOL) Had Den page up, but just black square--woul;dn't open & no chat on that page. So I see, some of you are reading that there may be a new cubby!!!! I hope this will post--if not, I'll keep reading!!Hope to get out of here by 4PM, so can see something at home. These events are more important than work anyway!!!

I would have killed you. LOL
Not you, Jo, Lynne. LOL
Oh, major contraction, She cried out!
Is it Hope's face we see at times
Sue just posted on FB that the vocalizations were HOPE, not Lily.
Lily the Black Bear When Lily was in labor last year she made almost no vocalizations. Hope is the grumbly one in the den. She wants access to the nipples and when she feels she is losing access she grumbles and bawls. -- SM
Thanks Lynne, glad to know it is Hope and not Lily.
poor Hope, her world is going to be turned upside down shortly!
Think the bear cam is maxed out! Was just like 8560 when I tried to get on...can't get on at all!
Too a long time this time, but finally got back on...8686
Some of those very loud sounds seemed to have been Lily - I just didn't think Hope could be that loud. But I'll go with what Sue is saying...
I have been on for a while now, knock on wood, I do not like the chat but sometimes I want to see if they have an opinion on something, Anyway, the chat is down or it was.
I'm getting bumped every few minutes. UGH! There is lots of movement, but now I can't tell what or who exactly I'm seeing!
Oh, I think Hope will be a happy camper when that milk comes in!
I'm with you Jo on that opinion,
8810 Think I only get 5 mins and then have to refresh.......
I think we see Lily's back.
Our nest looks darker again. No snow here yet.,,hasn't reached the ground.
I think that's her backside, too.
My chat is down... just don't want to lose the sound..... Need to hear that squeal......
8708
BTW Our nest is MT
no snow here yet either. but it looks impressive on the radar! I'm beginning to think we aren't going to get any that hits the ground. Which is fine by me!
It was late when Belle went into the nest last night.
oh boy, I should have been asleep a LONG time ago...better hit the rack and I'll check back during the wee hours.
yikes, just looked outside again, snowing hard and sleet mixed in!
Be safe in the AM folks!
Nite, Lynne! I'll be up for another hour. Think I will go get comfy in my pj's.
Oops snowing here too...
Cam went for 8min 43 sec this time.
I am going to have to get to the pillows. Lolly I hop0e that cub(s) come while you are watching. Wish I could stay longer but due to my eye lids closing .. I best be out of here.
Good Night and Prayers for all
Hugs for all ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Our nest is darker again.
So the sounds we are hearing at the den are Hope and not Lily, according to FB posting by the admins. Interesting.
My cam went off again, gonna hit the hay. Have fun watching Lily!
Hugs to all ♥

Well, I am now ready for bed but not heading that way for a while. Jack has a nice fire going.
Just checked the nest...no eagle.

I don't know why, but the salt trucks keep running up the street. I didn't think we were getting anything but rain. Maybe stuff will freeze.
They posted on fb a video of a song written for Lynn, the bear walker. It is really pretty.
Hi Loweeda! Everyone has turned it. Glad to see you on here. Lily is quiet now, but she has really been having contractions,
turned IN, good grief, my typing is getting worse! fast!
I'm giving up my place on the Bear Cam. Had no interuptions at all, couldn't see much...big, black, blob:)
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
PRAYERS FOR ALL
No eagles or baby bears, so time for Pleasant Feather Dreams!!! ;>)
Now, Wanda, how can you talk that way about Hope?
I think I am about to turn in. Lily has quieted down.
Heading to bed. No eagle in the nest, Lily is sleeping and I am about to sleep.
Sweet dreams! Plan to do nothing tomorrow but watch cams. LOL
Night all!
WEE HOUR!
Horror of horrors....Lily cam is DOWN.

Good very very early morning! Well, not really good. Trouble sleeping and checked on Lily. Cam still down. Headed back to bed wishing for a quick resolution.
Dusting of snow here. Not sticking on the street.
Nest is quiet.
Eagle just flew in.
wiggle wiggle, belly into the egg cup, pushing down the fluff and leaves.
One in the nest, sitting in the middle, waiting for company.
Very gusty winds here today, gonna get stronger.
Just flew out- mt nest
One back!
Now both in nest.
LIb just left I think.
Eagle back, both in nest, some beaking, working on egg cup. A lively conversation over the correct placement of fluff.
Lib is working on egg cup, Belle placing stick on side of nest.
One flew out, not sure who, walked away for a few minutes.
Gotta run, hope someone else is watching.
GOOD MORNING...
Nest has been empty since Megan's last report...maybe they've gone for breakfast.
I couldn't imagine why I couldn't get Lily cam this early, without a flock of viewers. Thanks to LYNNE'S comments, I now know! Oh, please hop on that snowmobile, before too long and fix it, PUHLEEZ!

Good morning! Climbed out of a warm cozy bed into a cold house....and the den cam is down and there are no eagles in the nest. And, to top it off I do not want to go get the paper. It is too cold!!!!!!!!!!!
Going to go bonkers until Lily cam is back up!
Okay who turned off the HEAT around here overnight. Brrrrr
Sure looks like a nest cup developing nicely in the Royal Palace
Moon was outta the clouds and bright when I checked from work around 0400....
Good Morning, and Good Night!
Best wishes for a good RED Friday.
xoxo ♥
I must say, I am habby to not see snow in the nest. Hear the wind!
Good morning/good night, Margy! Sleep tight!
Something is falling at the nest but it appears to be going sideways! Yikes!
Awake again but briefly. Beginning to see a pattern here. After two days of exertion, I apparently need more time to recover. So, another pill and back to bed.
Lily cam still down. MT nest.
Hope everyone is able to warm up. Do NOT like this cold weather.

Blue Mountain just posted the coolest video on fb. I shared it as it is just the greatest. For those not on fb, it shows a turtle pushing on another turtle to get it off it's back and back on it's feet.
23 here, Judie. Left the getting the paper to Jack. He has to take down the garage anyway.
Go back to sleep! Stay warm!
What ever was falling has stopped now and looks like the sun is out at the nest. I think I see shadows. Sun is out here but brrrr!
Good Morning Cold here and first big and lots of snow. Then it let up and now it is just flurries.
Poor Judie I sure hope you get some rest.
Lynne2 prayers for your 2 friends; "Mom Carolyn" and "Barb".
It is snowing and wind is blowing like crazy.
MT nest...Still no bear cam. Guess they'll be heading out soon.
That's going to be a "cold" ride in a snowmobile.
So Margy gave her shovel away. Hope the person she gave it too doesn't think she comes with the shovel. lol free shoveling
Very windy and cold her Lynn-Hedgie..no snow flurris. Sun is out now.
We are suppose to get at night some single digit temps....burrrrr
EAGLE ALERT OUR NEST
from fb.....Lily the Black Bear
Jason is about to snowmobile to the den shed. We borrowed equipment so he could travel and work safely in this cold. -- SM
Poor guy! But, wahoooo!!!!!!!!!!!
trying to move a stick pretty windy up there
our tree sure is rocking
Good Morning - sunny but brrrrrr cold
Our eagle sitting pretty now
Thanks Megan for this morning's account of their visit.
Wow! Could be a cub(s) by the time that
snowmobile gets to the shed.
I'm sure that all 8000+ viewers are very anxious for repair.
I'm not making any plans today except to stay in and keep warm.
Bird in swaying nest.
Jason is leaving for den.
This also off of fb....not good for Sue, can not imagine at -30.
We just talked to Sue Mansfield at the bear center and they are getting Jason the gear he needs to make the trip to the shed. She does not believe he has left yet. Sue has her own problems right now as she has lost heat in her own house. We will keep you posted as we know more.
In our nest those feathers are being ruffled by the wind.
flew out nest empty
Sorry to hear about Sue's loss of heat in those temps!
Our eagle went poof!
Yeah, Jo, it does bring all new meaning to COLD. Brrrr!
Got Lily up she is moving in den
Just seen Lily's face and nose
hear moaning and groaning maybe Hope I don't know
Wonder what kind of equipment they borrowed to make travel safe in those temps?
Lolly, why does Jack need to take down the garage???????? LOL!
Your temp is only 1 degree higher than mine. BRrrr is right.
Lolly, anyway that you can post a link to the BlueMountain video??? Or SHARE it on FB? Would love to see it.
Good morning everyone. Have my pop up popped :-). HOPE everyone is having a good day including Hope. I am safe and warm in Southern GA while they deal with ice in Northern GA which is exactly where I would be in the mountains no less today had I left as planned Yesterday.

Good decision, on your part, Glo!

Good morning all! We got about an inch overnight (snow) and have had some snow showers this morning, but very sunny in between. Wind picking up. Going to be a nasty cold weekend.
WOA! big SNORT for den cam!
aw, is that Lily's face?
I thinks so, and just saw Hope in the rear of den.
garbage garbage ! I just can not type!!!!! LOL
I did share it on fb, Lynn. You will love it!
Lily and Hope nose to nose....SNORT
boy that was a big puff that I guess Lily made
Good Morning, Everyone~
Was brain weary after school last night, so didn't make it here. Fell asleep soon after dinner, in front of the TV.
Lily is in labor?! Can't wait!

Prayers for Little Man--hope he slept well last night! Is he still eating well?

Oh--Lynne, Emma only weighed 13 lbs. last Saturday. She was born on 9/15/10. Aren't Springers supposed to weigh 45-55 lbs.? She's not skinny anymore, but definitely not overweight. Still, am feeding her the maximum amt. of Blue Buffalo as listed on the bag. Any ideas?

There was Lily's face again
from FB
Jason determined the problem was with the wireless modem. He ejected and reseated it. All is well. Thank you, Jason! -- SM
turtle video
Let's see if this works!
Yes! Got it!
I think Hope is making Lily angry. She just snorted really loudly again at her.
wow, she's raking stuff into the den like crazy!
uh oh, video stream has stopped again.
Thanks Lolly for posting that turtle video here. That was truly GREAT!!!!! ( :
Margy might get to see it if it is here too.
I see Hope right at Lily's face
oops, I just had to hit play again and it's back.
Hope is nursing.
Lily put a stop to it and Hope is whining!
So was den cam just too cold??? Jason couldn't have gotten there yet and fixed anything, could he????
Lolly, love the video!!!! :) TY!
cam stopped not coming back on this time.
he WAS there already Lynn
Andy, can't believe that Emma is so tiny......wow! I am floored.....she's 20 days older than Mai. Yes, 45-55#. At 16 wks. they are supposed to be half their adult weight. Mai is by no means fat, either. When do you see the vet again? I would be worried.....Lynne, what say you??
The Library of Congress has an unwanted visitor----a Coopers Hawk is in there. They are trying to figure out what to do.
well, I refreshed, and after an endless commercial with goofy people playing with Pringles, it's back on!
Did Emma get over her scare from the trashcans? Poor little girl.
Lynn-Hedgie do you know what other type of dog Mai is? AKC says a Chinese Shar-Pei can weigh from 50-60 pounds.
What type of dog does Shirley have?
Is it and English Springer Spaniel?
Mean't Andy
I am 1 of the 4743 viewers for Lily
Lolly The turtle video was very dramatic - I felt myself 'pushing' and cheering them on! I love the sayings
especially at the ending.
Sue again posted: Opening multiple den cam sessions will only serve to complicate the access issues we all are experiencing.
Not sure what that means???? TOo many viewers? People should stick to either PIX or Wildstream????

Just returned from a great breakfast. Jack vooked waffles and bacon, had it with our maple syrup from Vermont. Yum! Then I topped it off with half a grapefruit. Not supposed to eat grapefruit, but sometimes you just hafta!
Lynn, looking at the chat last night, I saw where the viewers were opening multiple cams to try not to miss anything, I guess.
Yes that is the way I am taking it too. People have more than one of Lily's cams open. I think they are asking that people DON'T do that.
Chat is down, they are not going to like that.
I went to Lily's site on fb that song that was written is simply BEAUTIFUL ... it is a must to hear and see.
I don't know if it can be brought over here and a link to it for those that don't do facebook or not.???? Anyone know????
Looks like Hope and Lily are quiet for the time being.

I missed Andy's post about Emma. How much does she weigh?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEGAN'S RUSS!
13 pounds Lolly
All is quiet with Lily and Hope. Think I will now start cleaning the cabinets in the utility room. I remember when I retired and I started cleaning out my school files. Then I thought, gee, if I had done this sooner my teaching would have been better organized. I am hoping that cleaning out the house will give me more room. LOL
Oh, she is only a half pound heavier than Annie. Little dog!
I am off to clean....taking my laptop with me, of course!
Daughter called and wants to take her dad out to eat for an early dinner locally. Other family members are coming Sunday to celebrate.
Meagan tell Russ
♪♪♫♪♪ Happy Birthday to you & make good use of that shovel in the Spring garden
I'm taking a break while Lily is quiet and our nest is MT.......

Thanks Lynne2 that works (Soper hee hee Super) that link will let those that don't go to facebook hear a beautiful song and see a wonderful video. Thank You (:
I'm finding me some soup hot soup burrrrrrr
As cold and windy as it is - the lion cubs are out in the yard.......
I'm going stir crazy watching Lily, had to stop and peel potatoes for supper tonight. Tilapia and potato soup with bits of country ham. Hope Jayden likes potato soup...will fish out the potatoes and put on high chair tray. He does prefer his food in a dish now, instead of on the tray. Makes a mess when the dish lands on the floor, so newspapers will cover the floor tonight:) He also like to hold a spoon or fork while he is eating...doesn't use it, just likes to hold it. He does try from time to time.
Just put some news posts on my blog...a surprise visitor to my feeder, the moon the other night (not as good a Loretta's though), the dogs, and some woodpecker fun.
I wish Lib or Belle would bring in more fluff for right in the egg well.
You can see the indentation now.
Well, log didn't work for digger dog---exactly. She pulled it away from hole...then proceeded to chew on it. But guess that's better than digging in mud! Anyway, she wasn't interested in staying out long---too cold and windy.
Dana, SharPei standard weight was always 40# in the past. Of course variations occur. No idea what Mai's daddy was---but strongly suspect lab or some mix thereof.
Ok, Lynne, won't worry about little Emma. Hey...maybe she's a mini! When I got Cinnamon, she was supposed to be a mini.....turned out she was full-sized. Either breeder didn't know which of her males mated with the dam or there was an extra bit of HP going on. Vet, who bred dachshunds herself, thought she was a mini at first......didn't take long to know that wasn't the truth.
Lynne2 - you've got some good runners in your video. Glad Steve could just stand in one spot and still have them in view! Good exercise - that should tire them.
I thought I just saw Hope in the far back of the den. They have had a quiet afternoon so far.
**I don't like the way most people speak of Hope as though she is an intruder. She is still a yearling and needs her Momma and the den. There is a lot going on with Lily and I think Hope senses this as the time goes on.
Happy Birthday to Megan's Russ!!!!
I need to break....... my Lily cam has been running since I put it up this am. I show 6498 viewers.
BBILW
I agree, Jo. It isn't as if other yearlings don't re-den with mom. Gotta remember, too, the trauma Hope went through of being abandoned---twice! She probably has deep psychological scars from that.
I stopped reading the chat there because of just that. I wish someone would come in (Lynn or one of the professionals) and tell the chatters.....that Hope is in no way bothering Lily and this is a "bears life".
Ate my soup and going with Little Man for a panda nap.
Lynn, I put our Hope remarks over on FB
Let's see what others think......
Lynn - we have supporters for Hope!
Whoo Hoo
I need to take my break......
we are so glad we fixed the holes in the fence in that field Jo...my guess is that it's at least a half acre but probably more! They love to chase, and it's so much funnier in person to see!
I don't think Hope is an intruder. However, I am a bit worried because although yearlings often den with mom, most female bears only have cubs every OTHER year...if I remember my info correctly. SO I wonder if Hope will deal with her new siblings well. I can't seem to find any info on yearlings and their mom's new babies.
Lynne, love your pictures and the video is great. Lots of energy there! Bosco used to go crazy running in our yard. Old man dog can not do that anymore.
I can totally sympathize with Hope...I, too, am the FIRST BORN!!
Argh----bear cam site says they don't know if cubs have been born yet or not.......awful if it all happened while cam was down. :(
There is no way to get a good picture of the intense look on Puddy's face when she chases Daisy...it's too funny! And she really does keep up with her pretty well! I love my rotten dogs!
Speaking of rotten, I am happy to report that Brother had a perfectly NORMAL stool this morning!! Not only that, but the frequency of the BMs the last 2 days has been just twice a day instead of 5 or 6. I was worried because even last night the stools were SO runny still....but I am very happy now!
My name is Lynne, and my cat's bowel movements thrill me.
Saw that you posted it, Jo. Good!!!
I don't get their chat, so didn't know there were bad things being said.
Lynne, I thought I had read that birth the next year was common when there was only one cub. Less likely with multiples.
Lynne, roflmbo!!!!!
I (think) I remember hearing little baby noises and Lily noises when she had Hope.
GOOD GRIEF her foot is sticking out of the den!
it's the simple things Lolly. LOL!
Lynn, I think you are right, that rings a bell!
what is she doing....looks like her whole back leg is out and she is bracing herself.
This is really weird!!!! On FB, see if you can find the post I made about Hope? I sure can't! Not on the wall or under Lily The Black Bear....
Who could have eaten it?
OH I don't like that!!!
Hope Brother Cat continues to improve!

Wahoo! We just made our reservations for a camp site at Rocky Mt. Natl Park. Going camping late June. Gotta get back to my walking to be in shape for hiking the mountains.
Jo, they removed your comment and have blocked you. Your comment is no where to be found. I saw it earlier and made a comment myself. Went to Lily's page and got on fine, but your comment is not there.
Thanks Lolly for checking out
So much for free speech... I can still get onto Lily's page - I just know not to comment. It's ok.... I wasn't really starting a debate.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Good Morning, aLL
IN eagLeLand...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sorry so late, but it was cold in here this A.M., so after getting a little breakfast and some meds, I wrapped up in a warm blanket and took a nice Panda nap. Hahaha, and to tell you the truth, if I hadn't gotten hungry again, I'd probably be still napping.
It's great once in a while, but I better watch it ... unless I can get a Panda space at the S. D. Zoo.
How you all doing??
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Ruh roh, Jo. Hope they didn't disable you! I have had no luck so far in getting my account restored :(
I am trying to be patient, but might have to resort to making a new one.
Lily cam...no suckling noises or bear cries??
that's crazy, who would remove it??
I think we are going to have a bear cub shortly....
Jo, they blocked you from Lily's page for that comment?
Now I've got to go open F.B. to see if I can find Mema Jo's comment.
Any idea of the approx. time??
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
she's bracing with that foot and her back again
They (Lily page) do moderate their page and remove comments...
arrrrgggg she is pushing bedding in front of the cam!
just did a lot of shuddering and now licking at something...hard to see
It isn't there Jim.
Paula & Lolly how do you know and what do you mean that I have been Blocked.
Looked like maybe she was chewing on her back foot pad...Lily settled back down..back to cam. Head on the right side.
Hope nursing it looks like, Lily resting now maybe?
Lily is really restless. She dug, then turned her back completely to the cam. Thought we were going to get a front row seat to a birth. Hmmmmm?????
Jo, I was talking about Facebook in general.
If your comment was removed from the Lily page, they probably blocked you as well is what Lolly was saying.
Sounds like Hope is suckling again.
someone on the Lily FB page said her posts keep disappearing and someone else says that has been happening for days now.
I think that my comment (negative to them) was removed and that is the extent towards me. I can access and 'like' comments on the Lily home page on FB. I think it was the moderater on Lily's not FB......
I'm ok!
Keep your ears open for that new
cub squeal.......
oh how cute Hope's foot is stretched over Lily's back!
it appears to be nap time at the den!
tht's Hopes arm in front and she is grunting!
I think we have a cub~
Hi everyone. Just heard a cubbie squeal and Lily's grunting.
they are saying there is a baby...on the FB page. But no word yet from admin. I heard sounds, but not like Hope last year when she was born.
I don't hear anything :(
Hi all. Been trying to get some school work done while watching Lily. No cub sounds yet. Hope is being a baby who still needs her momma -- lots of Hope humming.
Going to have to abandon the cams and go elevate my ankle.
NBG was a lovely picture this a.m. with an eagle resting in the nest. Very pretty.
Going to check Lily again then go take a pill.
Lily does appear to be busily doing something....
Jo, it IS gone!!!!! Put it on again!!!! Facebook censors?????????
just a short squeal, but definitely a cub's squeal, and hope it's okay.
They are saying on FB that BearStudy Twitter is confirming a birth...but no work on FB yet from them.
OMG, can't believe I could get on internet here!!!!(maybe it only blocks beavers LOL) Had Den page up, but just black square--woul;dn't open & no chat on that page. So I see, some of you are reading that there may be a new cubby!!!!
I hope this will post--if not, I'll keep reading!!Hope to get out of here by 4PM, so can see something at home. These events are more important than work anyway!!!
Gonna Split!!
Bear Study twitter
Lily seems to be in active labor. She alternates between bracing herself against the den and allowing Hope to suckle. 6 minutes ago via web
she's been relatively still for the last 10 minutes or so compared to what had been going on.
