On a sunny, autumn day, a stroll is just the thing to pick up your spirits. No need for a jacket. Nor a hat. Just wake from a brief nap, give a good shake, and set out. What will I see today?
My sibling, of course I see them. After all, we share a den. Humans populate the other side of the sturdy, glass enclosure of our home. Nice crowd today. Pleasant temperatures and sunshine always increase their numbers. Odd creatures, humans. They talk and gesture and make way too much commotion to ever be a success at hunting. They couldn't sneak up on a deaf gopher.
Hmm. How shall I amuse the humans today? Perhaps I'll scratch my claws against the log our keepers provide. There's enough chill in the air to make the waterfall or pool unappealing. I know, I'll browse around for a snack. Once, just once, a confused rabbit got into our home. Now that caused some excitement.
Human readers: Do you want to amuse yourself without visiting the bears at the zoo? I suggest a book. If you care for sweet romance, I suggest New Dreams. You can step into the past and pick up a tip or two about traveling and village life in 1851 Illinois. https://amzn.to/3vWydWE
