I'm in Boulder, Colorado.

Yep. All the good stuff. So we actually live two doors down from where this happened. I am neighbors with my parents. So this happened yesterday. Summer of 2009. It was the day after my mom's birthday. And we had all gone to sleep. It was like two o'clock in the morning.

I was 17 at the time. So it was my last summer before senior year. I was over it already. And then this happened. I was like, I'm out of here. Now I'm back. So the layout of our house is my dad built it. And the first floor is the main floor. So it has a kitchen and there's a room off the side of it. And then there's two bedrooms. And then he added on to it later.

And so there's the master bedroom downstairs and then another bedroom. My brother got the bedroom downstairs. I got the bedroom upstairs. And then obviously my parents are down in the basement. So we had a 40 pound Jack Russell Terrier German Shepherd Nick. Super smart, super spunky.

a lot of energy. She was grepping at my mom in the middle of the night and my mom was trying to ignore it and still sleep. She would smell stuff either from outside or through our swamp cooler. She would catch whiffs of stuff sometimes. So my mom was just ignoring it. And then she got a little bit more agitated and was like barking at my mom. So she was like, okay, I'll go check it out.

My dad is now totally deaf. Back then he was very close. So he's dead to the world, has no idea idea anything's going on. But hearing it do the trick. So my mom headed upstairs. We had this cut out window from our living room that you could see through into the kitchen. And so my mom peered through there and there was a bear charging at her.

In the home. Oh, my God.

And so this little 40 pound dog starts to go to take care of the bear. And my mom is hysterically screaming. Yeah. What color bear? We have black bears here, so thankfully no grizzlies.
