Bear breaks into home, attacks 82-year-old woman in Colorado
Wildlife officials are searching for a small black bear that broke into an 82-year-old woman’s home in the dead of night.
The woman fortunately managed to escape from the incident with only scratches.
She woke up before dawn on Friday in response to a loud crashing noise and her dog’s growling, as reported by Colorado Parks and Wildlife in a press statement.
According to The New York Post as she opened the double doors to her mudroom, a small cinnamon-coloured black bear jumped at her, scratching the woman on the legs.
She was able to shove the bear off her and quickly shut the doors to the room. The bear, which she believes weighed less than 100 pounds, fran¬tically ran around the room before scaling a shelf and ripping through an open window screen to escape, parks and wildlife officials said.
“Human health and safety always remain our top priority in any incident like this, regardless of how minor the injuries are,” Mike Brown, CPW area wildlife manager for the region, said in the news release.
“CPW officers are doing everything we can to locate this bear. Luckily, the victim’s injuries consist of very minor scratches.”
Wildlife authorities are currently in pursuit of the wild creature, which is deemed hazardous due to its involve¬ment in injuring a person.
If successfully captured, the animal will be subject to “humane euthana¬sia,” as confirmed by officials.
Colorado is not the sole US state to undergo a bear attack this summer. In the previous month, a jogger hailing from Asheville, North Carolina, man¬aged to narrowly evade an encounter with a mother bear. New York Post
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I AM in love with Adwoa, a 25-year-old banker. She has a 10-month old daughter and I am not perturbed about that. She said the father of the child broke up with her even before the child was born. I loved her even before I knew she had a child, and when she told me she had a baby, it didn’t change anything. Love was still love, and care still flowed between us.
I spent some nights with her, and the behaviour of her baby makes me feel like there’s another man she knows. She cries when I pick her up.
The same thing happens when she wakes up and sees me in bed with her mother. I’m not comfortable with the way that baby looks at me. It’s as though there’s someone else looking at me through her eyes. She doesn’t blink an eye. She looks at me as if I’m not the one she’s expecting to see. Is this normal?
Papa, Swedru.
Dear Papa,
IT’S understandable you’re feeling a bit uneasy about the baby’s behaviour. Given the situation, it’s likely the baby is just picking up on your energy or adjusting to a new face.
Ten-month-old can be particular about strangers. Try engaging with her more during calm moments, like playtime or when she is fed. Build a bond through activities she enjoys and have an open chat with your girlfriend about how you’re feeling; she might notice things you’ve missed. The intense staring could be curiosity; babies are like that sometimes. Take it easy, and don’t overthink it.

A man who bed-wets went to see a psychiatrist…
Psychiatrist: Does a dream usually precede your bed-wetting?
Man: Yes.
Psychiatrist: Tell me how it happens.
Man: A little demon appears to me in my sleep and says, “Hey… Let us pee.” Then, I wake up to see the bed wet with my urine.
Psychiatrist: This is what you must do. If the demon comes tonight and tells you “let us pee”, just reply him that you have already peed.
The man left and returned the following day with tears streaming down his face.
Psychiatrist: Why are you weeping? Didn’t my therapy work?
Man: You have worsened my case!
Psychiatrist: What? How?
Man: When the demon came, I told him I’d already peed. Then he said, “OK, let us sh*t.”
