There are now two Sabine bears.
No photos yet.
The Sabine hives are still intact.

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

What about the Sabine pic-i-nic baskets?!?!
Have you decided on names for the two Sabine bears yet? (the post above mine would indicate that “Yogi” and “Boo-Boo” could be good suggestions) :-)
Bears (?!?)
Not bears, Fr. Z.
You now have a porter and a thuri-furry.
The Lord provides for all liturgical functions, in his goodness and infinite wisdom.
If they go to the bird feeders, that could be problematic.
if you’re looking for name suggestions, I’d go with Corbinian and Elisha.
Tim: Corbinian! LOL!
Be sure not to make fun of the bald prophet, or they might eat you. ;)
Here’s the info on Corbinian and Elisha (last verse).
People know the craziest stuff on this ‘blog.
If one of them is female, she can be Ursula. :)
The Ursine Farm! :D
A nice big farm dog will keep the bears away from the hives. Hubby spent most of his life in bear country and just the presence of a barking dog would warn off the bears who mostly just go else-ware–since the problems were black and grizzly bears both it seems a big dog is a nice defender for bird feeders and bee hives.
Professional visitors from Chicago?
Hmmm, further to Ann’s post, if you didn’t want to invest in a real live Sabine anti-ursine canine you could probably get a good recording of dog barks, sort of like those booming devices that scare birds away?
Well no, maybe not…
Hmmm. One of them could be Stew …
