I can relate...yesterday I spent much of the afternoon with one of my bears "Mishka" and her two cubs, she's undersized as are her cubs and she was somewhat shunned from the clan last year and I didn't think the cubs would make it through hibernation, but they did, still undersized with spindly legs and protruding rib cage but all of them are well mannered, I sat with them and rested my legs on Mishka's back as she laid at my feet with cubs to my side...when I get up she sits up on her ass and extends her paw to me...I got sneezed on at one point and that's messy but I can live with that...right now I've got 5 bears on my deck and lawn...because of the cubs, Brutus has to vacate the area but will return probably mid June which is normal bear behavior, he knows not to stir shit with the cubs because things get ugly. I stay in my yard camp/sauna next to my house and my standard bears will get my attention just like in this vid clip...me and my bears have been together a long time and I'm still amazed at the things they do.
