Tuesday afternoon, Hu-Dad snapped some photos of us handling security patrols. Tuesday evening, he saw quite openly why we take our security patrols seriously.

Security Alert – Northeast Sector

As any regular reader knows, Chief of Security Kiska insists on regular patrols of our perimeter. And when something is seen, smelled, or sensed, we respond in force to defend our turf.

The entire perimeter is searched several times a day.

But why do we worry so much about security? Shortly after sunset last night, Hu-Dad glanced out his study window and saw the following sight.

Our neighbors – mom and four cubs – checking to see if the blackberries are ready yet.

In case you were wondering, we were all inside at the time and Hu-Dad didn’t even tell us they were wandering around. He totally fails security protocol, doesn’t he? Anyway, if we had been outside, they would never have appeared, so we hold up our side of security.

The best security team around.
