My name is Mama Bear!

11/21/23: I visited Mama Bear in her kennel. She readily greeted me at the front and took treats well. I entered her kennel and attempted to leash her. She initially fled. However, I crouched down and she came right up to me and gave me kisses. I got her leashed and we spent some time outside.

Once outside she was timid with her tail tucked. She stuck to exploring the perimeter of the yard. I tried tossing the tennis ball. She seemed interested, but was fearful and would retreat at my presence. I took my time cleaning around the yard, ignoring her. She had some moments of zoomies and was interested in exploring.

When it was time to go in, I crouched down and called her. I was easily able to lure her to me and get her leashed while crouched and using treats. Removed blue dots due to improved behavior.

12/19/25: I took Mama Bear outside today. In the kennel, she was calm when approached. She was easy to leash and walks well on the leash. She has a moderate energy level. She seems to be house trained. She is pretty independent, but still playful. She was a little more interested in the dog in the other yard than be, but she did play fetch with me for a short time.
