Wow thanks for all your help everyone. And Genia, thank you especially for all of your information. We keep our trash in our garage and don't feed Daisy outside, so those are two things we got going for us Mom said she didn't see the bear today but the whole neighborhood has our eyes peeled. Maybe he was just passing through the area. I kind of wish I got to see him! I never saw a bear before.

I do think Daisy could try to attack it, and that's what has me worried. Well attack is the wrong word... she would go bark at it and run around, trying to get it to play. I doubt the bear would find it very amusing. I am being very careful about letting her out. I'll keep ya posted
