A beary special treat

After our hike my roommates informed me we would not be staying at a ranch.  Phoeey.  Also, we were not staying at a five or even four star hotel.  Rats, this isn't fairing well for me.  We ended up at a nice little house.  Sequoia and I went our separate ways to explore and I found the stuffy ambassador for the house.  

I met this nice bear and apparently he said he was going to be my guide this weekend.  He was a pretty old bear but could sure get around the house.  We followed Sequoia to the kitchen.  I decided to look around and see what beverages were available for me.

Hmm, do any of my stuffy friends have a guess what might be in this container?  

 Yep, it's hot chocolate!  Yipee, this is turning out beary well for me (and there is a bear on the tin to boot).

Sequoia kept barking and barking which is unusual since he doesn't bark much.  The bear went back to the room to relax so I decided to follow Sequoia outside.

Oh my, do you see that?  Chickens, fresh yummy chickens just wandering around waiting for me.  I can't believe how cool this place is.  Let's review: Bear tour guide, hot chocolate ready to go and fresh chicken!!!!!!!!!!!!  

More chickens.  I can't believe how lucky I am.

The owners of the house are really nice.  I am almost having second thoughts of trying to get into the chicken coop....almost having second thoughts.......Let's see, this latch looks hard to open. I better get a different view. 

Man, this is hard.  I can't seem to get it open and I better hurry before Sequoia barks too much and my roommates come and find what I am up to.

I got through gate #1 but there was another fence.  Rats, foiled again.  This friendly chicken informed me, matter-of-factly that they were not for consumption.  It was at that time my roommates, Sequoia, and my bear tour guide came out to the chicken coop to "escort' me away from the coop - which is good because it might mean we are going to take a hike.
