As many of you may remember, I lost my very beloved dog Bear to a mountain lion in September last year.  I still miss him terribly and feel very responsible for his death.   Since his loss I've moved back to town and breathed a sigh of relief that rest of my pups are safe.  But, I am definitely rethinking this the last few days. 

Over the last three weeks two dogs in North Boulder have been snatched by a mountain lion.  While these haven't been in my immediate neighborhood I'm still impacted.  It brings back memories of that night Bear died.  It makes me concerned for all the kids in the area.  Kids playing outside, waiting for the bus, just being kids.  

Apparently the powers that be are planning to trap the cat.  I don't blame the cat for hunting to eat...but I wish this predator would focus on the plentiful wildlife in the area.  I will no longer be leaving the doggies out in my fenced yard unsupervised.   

RIP my sweet doggie Bear.
