thanks for your comment, Kristin! LOL yes I can see her slyly taking a bottle of rum from under her dress and getting a quick kick before her morning princess duties! XD
Yesterday I watched an interesting documentary about a guy who filmed bears in Alaska during the summer. He seriously loved them and understood them, but sadly he got eaten by a bear that was very hungry and bit more aggressive compared to the other bears. Most people interviewed said he was really crazy and stupid for thinking he could become friends with the animals, but judging from the footage he took Id say the bears and other animals around there (these super cute foxes that played with him all the time!!) respected his presence and didnt mind him at all. They seemed either friendly or just ignore his presence. The way the guy talked about them too, I think he understood and recognized that a bear could kill and eat you, he seemed prepared to take that chance. He just also knew that a bear would only do that as a last resort (he filmed the bear that ended up eating him, he did say it was older and more likely to kill then the other bears in order to survive..). I think in the end he probably didnt mind being eaten by a bear, he said several times we would die for bears, and he knew he was in this case just being part of the food chain/helping an old bear survive. I find it sad that they shot the bear afterwards to get out the remains of the guy who was inside :S I have a feeling he probably wouldve been happier if the bear hadnt died…
