bear mountain = bear

Of course there are bears, but there are also goats.

I usually stay in a shed near the animal shelter, but this fall I even went on a business trip near the bus stop (^^)

The Saanen breed is native to Switzerland and has a large body. (Good power too!)

Atsuko has horns. We sometimes butt heads, whether we're on good terms or not.

When I went on a business trip, customers called out to me, ``Hello, Yuki-chan,'' even though they didn't know my name. After all, the name Yuki is a standard name for a goat!

All of the bears at Bear Mountain are male, and among the keepers they are idols.

When Atsuko is in a bad mood, she sometimes lashes out at the hand I hold out to her, but she also has that annoying side...(*´U`*)

The goats have also grown their winter coats, and are they ready to survive the winter?

The snow from the other day had completely melted and the sun was warm today. The goats were also basking in the sun and looking comfortable.
