In Fort Valley, Va., Regina Keller's home backs up to George Washington National Forest. So she's no stranger to wildlife, and a variety of furry friends -- deer, bears, foxes and squirrels -- roaming into her yard. On July 19th, she was watering her flowers when a large male bear wandered in. "This was the biggest one I've seen this year," Keller told CNN. Then she realized she had seen this bear before -- he had come two years earlier. "He wandered around the backyard ... and went over by the pool and dipped his big paw in the water ... and then climbed right in and lay down. He seemed so content and refreshed." Keller had retreated to a chair by the door to observe him. The bear napped and relaxed in the pool for about an hour until the sound of her grandchildren arriving in her driveway with their dogs prompted him to run off.
