ok to start with I KNEW picking the wild blueberries today was NOT a great idea !!
A friend of mine called this morning and talked me into going with her to pick wild blueberres a few miles up the road. She had her chocolate lab missy with her and I had my black lab Lucifer along to keep missy company. We donned our rubber boots, buckets and blueberry pickers and hit the road. We found a beautiful field of berries and set off with the dogs, We had barely started picking when Missy let out one big WOOOF . I looked over and both dogs had stopped playing and were staring at a spot out in the field. Then a little baby black bear popped up and let out a cry, then another baby, then another baby...... wayyyyy off across the field I then saw mama who let out a growl and all 3 cubs went racing back to mommy.
Lets just say it scared the begeesus out of me and my friend. We were lucky we weren't between mama and babies !! Also lucky neither dog decided to chase the bears.
Next trip we need to pack her husband along with us to stand guard.Or give up our berry picking days and hit the farmers market!!
