Finish the story......

It was a glorious morning. The sun was shining brightly. The birds on feeders all were in great voice, and colourful crocuses were breaking through the light blanket of snow which twinkled like diamonds. It seemed like a beautiful spring morning, but when I looked out the back door I saw that the snow was Red!

I called my husband to go see what it was and he didn't come downstairs. When I called for him again I heard a gun shot. I grabbed the cell phone and hid in the bathroom closet. I heard someone run down the stairs and out the door. I opened the closet door and ran upstairs. My husband wasn't there. There was blood on his shirt that was on the floor.

I ran to the window to look out and there was a dragged blood trail to the shed. I went under the bed and called the police. When they showed up they looked in the shed. I couldn't stop crying. The police came in the house to tell me what the f#*k was going on. I was so scared and upset. They had told me my husband was in the shed I didn't even hear anything else they had to say.

I passed out as soon as I heard them say that. When I woke up my husband was sitting on the edge of the bed getting dressed. I hugged him and said, "I thought you were dead!" He laughed and said, "No, what do you mean?"

I told him that I was talking to the police and that they had told me that you were dead! "Oh, I thought that they told you why I was in the shed. I'm certainly not dead but the two bears are that I shot."

"You shot two bears?"

"Ya because they were attacking Rusty." Rusty was a big dog we had had for years. He told me that Rusty was a little shaken up but that he would be fine. He told me that he had gotten a 10 THOUSAND DOLLAR fine - 5 thousand per bear!

I was so happy he was still alive, but at the same time I punched him in the face. I told him he would have to pay the fine himself.

He got so mad when I hit him he packed all his stuff and bought a plane ticket and left. I never saw him again.

Five years later I got remarried and told my new husband that if he ever saw a bear in the backyard, no matter what, not to shoot it. I told him the whole story and told him he would get a punch in the head too.
