We have several squirrels around our house and they are fun to watch until they start ripping apart the wife's patio furniture cushions. 🤣
Down here we call them tree rats and they are not your friend. I have so many I can't get rid of them and pray for hawks, eagles and ospreys to come and take them away.

They will tear the screen around my pool to pieces
 
The bears usually won't cause a problem except getting into garbage on pick up day (actually night before) or destroying bird feeders, trail cameras, etc. Coyotes will get dogs though. I've been on the front porch early in the morning reading and drinking coffee and had a bear walk down the sidewalk in front of the porch less than 10' away.

If anyone wants to see them in KY, come to Kingdome Come State Park and drive the Little Shepherd Trail between the park and Whitesburg (Hwy 119). May or Oct. are the best months. During those months I would give you a 50% chance to see one if you make that drive back and forth a couple of times.

BTW, up to 7 squirrels now which is the most this winter.
Around here they use Anatolian Shepherds to keep Coyotes at bay. There are a few guys that have large flatbed trucks with 10-12 kennels that house the dogs for transport out to the areas where coyotes are giving the farmers troubles. Some farmers keep Great Pyrenees dogs as well to keep them at bay.

When we got our monster (Anatolian Shepherd-Great Pyrenees mix) as a puppy, the vet warned us to make sure she was socialized because if not they can become aggressive. She said they had the owners of the dogs used for the coyotes muzzle them before they brought them in for checkups and shots. When we took the monster in for the last visit, she (the vet) sat down on the floor so as not to be threatening. The monster walked over to her and flopped down with her head in the vets lap. The vet just laughed and said this is just a big baby. She is too. Very friendly and easy going.

If you all can see it, this is when the bear got one of the bird feeders New Year's Eve.

Some more pics will be appreciated. I'd like to see bear that are nearly kin... To a poster bud... 😁

Anatolian is our other possibility or a mix with GP/ANATOLIAN. We'll see
 
I'll try another. This is looking at the house. The front porch that the earlier bear was on is barely visible...not the little entrance that you can see. Directly above the bear's ears is my driveway. Have I told you all I live in the mountains. One of Dad's favorite lines is "I can see his backyard looking out the skylight".

I know he's walking away from you but are you right or left handed??? Now...😁😬
 
37th anniversary of the first inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Gotta question if some of these performers were actually Rock and Roll. All great in their own right.
