Bear With Us – Technical Difficulties

We were outside doing our evening photoshoot when some technical difficulties developed. Bear with us. No, really, we had a bear with us.

Smile for the photo - Wait, what's that in our field?

Hu-Dad asked our seniors to pose for a few evening photographs on the back deck, some typical shots for the blog. The modeling session progressed well until Kiska’s other job kicked into gear – Chief of Security.

Photos have to wait, Hu-Dad. Technical difficulties in the field.

And what caused our senior leader to race through the yard – as fast as a senior can run – and set off the all-hands-on-deck alarm? A six dog alarm usually only means one thing.

Bear with us - and running fast for the woods. (And, yes, that is our Chief of Security yelling as he runs).

    And in those moments when COS Kiska takes off across the yard, when she forgets her age and the pains that go with it (don’t we all know those) our hearts fill with joy at the vision of her as she is in her heart, fearless, leading the charge, and always putting herself in front of any danger. Because while she may seem like a senior dog, in her heart and soul, she is a warrior.

    Kiska was almost a little blur. Good for her.

Even after a long hike, a Queen must always avoid a fashion faux pas like, say, an out of place tongue. No, the Queen and Decorum are intact.
