OMGWTFBEAR update.
After about an hour of hearing the barking further and further away in the woods, the dogs came trotting back looking exhausted and very proud of themselves and proceeded to curl up on their doggie beds for a nice long nap. By which I assume they pushed the bear back to whatever line exists in their heads and were like YOU SHALL NOT PASS! WOOF! And the bear complied.
Good doggies! It requires a bit of readjustment in my head, though. Country doggies are not like city doggies. They have jobs, and they take them very seriously even when they are dangerous. This is their land, their buildings, their people, and what I took for doggie fun jaunts were...okay, they probably are running around going SQUIRREL and having fun most of the time...but also they are patrolling their borders.
I can worry about them, and I will, but this is what they do. And now I am starting to understand why a good dog was every pioneer's accessory.
