    animals (black bears) beat the heat

    By beckybear  |  Posted August 2, 2011  |  Trego, Wisconsin
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     beckybear says throughout the years, many bears have taken a dip in her dog's watering tub, leaving it looking like a mud puddle before finally waddling back into the woods. She says she can't blame them for taking a dip. 'Imagine what it would be like to don a heavy winter fur coat in sweltering hot summer weather; makes me sweat buckets just thinking about it!'
    - nsaidi, CNN iReport producer

    Un`bear`ably Hot!

     

    My doggie swimming pool and dog water tub have turned into a watering hole for the local wildlife.  They sure know how to beat the heat!  LOL!!

     

    See attached 10 photos.

     

    Here's a link to a video I made of the black bears taking a dip in the pool.

    (can my hometown name remain private to protect the where abouts of the wildlife?)
