In early September 2009 we finally got our act together and
went on our first solo trip into The Bob, complete with
grizzly encounter.

There is a postscript to that
story: After being back in New York on a walk in Union
Square, Beate and Keela encountered a huge dog, possibly an
Akita, who was big and dark and looked a bit like a bear.
Keela, usually a social and
playful dog, started to growl and bark furiously and lunged
after him in full attack mode; Beate could barely hold her!
