RosyReport: Air Travel

Dear world,

When I arrived and checked in at Memphis Airport, they wanted to take my picture. So of course I smiled. Then I was ready to go in my case because there were so many people I was afraid to be stepped on. Once we boarded the plane I sat comfortably under a seat and took a nap. When I awoke, I read a magazine and then had a cheeseburger for lunch. Then I took another nap. I don't know why people complain about traveling, I thought it was rather pleasant.

Reporting from the airport,

Rosy

Royal Dream

Dear world, Last night I had the most exciting dream. I dreamt that I received an invitation to the Royal Wedding! When I looked at my watch (I was wearing a Rolex in my dream), I realized I had hardly any time to get to London. But low and behold, a limo took me to a private high speed jet and I arrived at Westminster Abbey just in time. But then I realized that I forgot to put on proper clothes and I just arrived in my fur. And without a gift! My dream turned into a nightmare, and I woke up. Oh well, I guess I'll watch it on TV like everyone else.

Love always,

Bear

Rosy's vacation

Dear world,
Yesterday, Mom told me that she was going on a trip and she would be taking Rosy. And to make it worse, she is going to California! Mom said she wished she could take me but I can't fit under the airplane seat. Well of course, I was upset. And then Rosy asked me to help her pack. Ouch. But being a good big brother I consulted with her . I told her she is bringing way too much. That is what I always hear Dad tell Mom, so I figured that was an appropriate comment. Anyway, I asked her to do guest blogging while she is on her trip. We will call it RosyReports. Stay tuned.

Love always,

Bear

Thirsty rug

Dear world, Fuzz's tummy wasnt feeling too good the other day. But after he threw up, he felt much better. But while Mom was happy Fuzz got to feeling better, she wasnt too happy when she saw where he relieved himself. He chose the large fancy entry rug. Mom got the paper towels to wipe it up. Then she poured club soda on the rug. I guess the rug was thirsty.

Love always,

Bear

Impatient

Dear world,

The other day Mom said we are ready to plant flowers. So I went outside with my watering can to help. I thought the flowers were so pretty. Mom told me they were called impatients. I told her we better hurry up and plant them all since they are impatient. I hope they are also impatient about growing. But I will wait patiently to watch them grow.

Love always,

Bear

We Believe!

Dear world,
I am so happy. My hometown team, the Memphis Grizzlies, is in the playoffs and doing great. We watched the first two games at home and Mom and Dad were clapping and yelling. Mom cried after they won the first game! She is so weird. Mom & Dad went to the game and watched them win in the FedExForum on Saturday night . Fuzz, Rosy & I will be watching at home tonight with Mom. She was supposed to go but ended up she wasn't allowed (Dad had to go with business people). Now she knows how I feel! Anyway, we will all be rooting for the Grizzlies tonight from home! I hope Mom cries cause that will mean they have won!

We believe! Go Grizz!

Love always,

Bear

Easter Egg Hunt

Dear world,
Yesterday Mom gave us baskets for Easter. Then we did an Easter Egg Hunt. We had hunted for plastic eggs with cookies inside! She told us we should put them in our basket, but we ate a few along the way. Then was the big surprise. Mom brought out this basket with Hamburger eggs! She let us share one of those eggs. Today we get to eat the rest of the cookie eggs and the Hamburger Eggs. Maybe next year Mom will make us pizza eggs.

Happy Easter!

Love always,

Bear

FuzzBuzz: Easter Eggs

Dear world,

Yesterday, we made Easter eggs. I was excited until I found out we weren't going to eat the eggs. I did participate, but kept falling asleep waiting for the eggs to be the color I wanted. We put all the eggs in one basket. (I heard that is not a good thing to do.) Anyway, Bear decided to stand watch over the eggs to make sure I didn't eat them. Mom promised food would be in the Easter activities tomorrow.

Forever,

Fuzzy

Earth Bear

Dear world,

Mom got me a present for Earth Day. It is a bear that gets green from Moss and Ivy. She said it is a gift in recognition of my conscientiousness about the environment. So we are going to put this in a prominent place in the house. That way, everyone will be reminded to be nice to the earth. I will take very good care of my Earth bear.

Happy Earth Day!

Be Kind to Earth Everyday!

Love always,

Bear

Gentleman Dog Bed

Dear world,

A few weeks ago, Rosy got a new bed. It is a dog showing its teeth, (very appropriate for Rosy). She really liked it. But yesterday Fuzz picked it up and carried it to the other room,. Rosy got mad and called the bed a traitor. The punishment for that was a major lashing. I don't know why the dog bed didn't try to defend itself. It has teeth. I guess it is a gentleman dog bed and doesn't fight with girls.

Love always,

Bear

A Bug and a Frog

Dear world,

Since it is Spring, lots of critters come out. So Fuzz and I decided to put our critter caps on. Fuzz did not want to be a bug because he was afraid he would be eaten or exterminated. But I told him a lady bug is lucky and everyone likes them. He said he was a boy, and did not want to be a ladybug. So I put on the ladybug, but I am a laddiebug. Fuzz was then the frog. I told him to watch out for his legs.

Love always,

Bear

Dandelion Wish

Dear world,

The other day, Mom suggested that Dad show me a Dandelion. So he went to over to what I thought was a weed and picked it. Then he told me to watch and make a wish. He blew the dandelion and all these things started flying in my face. So I made a wish. I wished that he wouldn't do that to me again.

Love always,

Bear

Happy Passover

Dear world, Tonight is is the first of eight nights of Passover. This holiday celebrates freedom for the Jewish people from 400 years of slavery. The story goes that Pharaoh was asked to let the Jews leave Egypt but he refused. It took 10 plagues to convince him, but he finally let them leave. But then he changed his mind and sent his army to get them. But the Sea parted, the Israelites crossed safely! I find that story fascinating! Anyway, on the first night there is a Seder Dinner. Everyone reads this book called the Haggadah that takes you through the story of Passover. There are all sorts of symbolic foods on the table which are part of the story including Matzoh. You eat Matzoh during Passover instead of bread. It's specially made unleavened bread that looks like a big square cracker. It symbolizes freedom cause the Israelites couldn't wait for their bread to rise cause they left Egypt in such haste. I don't think my treats are leavened. If they are, maybe I can get some Matzoh with Peanut Butter on it! Sorry this post was unusually long. But Passover is a long holiday with a long history with a very long dinner.

Happy Passover!

Love always,

Bear

Puppy Trouble

Dear world,

The other day on a walk in our neighborhood, we met new neighbors! Two puppy Labrador Retrievers - one black and one chocolate. Mom took all of us over to the driveway to meet them. Yes, they are adorable. I dont mind when they want to say hello from behind in dog appropriate fashion, but why exactly do puppies insist on jumping on my face? That makes me growl. Then Mom gets mad at me for growling. So I don't like puppies because they get me in trouble.

Love always,

Bear

Easter Dream

Dear world,

The other day I was watching my Mom put together Easter Baskets to send to my little human niece and nephews. Toys, books, candy eggs, and all kind of fun delicious stuff. I wondered whether Fuzz, Rosy & I were going to get Easter baskets too. Well, last night I had a dream that I got the best Easter Basket ever. A basket full of tennis balls! I hope my dream will come true! Mom?

Love always,

Bear

FuzzBuzz: Gardening

Dear world,

Mom thought it would be nice if Bear and I did our own Spring gardening. So she bought us a bunch of little grow kits. I discussed with Bear how we should split them. I told Bear that since the basil, parsley and tomatoes are edible those should be mine. He can have all the flowers. He said it is a deal. However, if I start selling my crops, he wants some of the proceeds. I told him the same is true for his flowers. We shook paws on 20%. We are such endogeneurs! (I think I got the better deal.)

Forever,

Fuzzy

Neighborhood Rule

Dear world,

A new family moved in close by. Their white lab stays on their lawn most of the day looking out over the neighborhood. I went over to say hello and introduce myself. Before he even told me his name, he said that he wants to rule the neighborhood. I told him, that is not going to happen. So he started trying to argue with me. Great. A neighbor with a Dogpolean complex.

Love always,

Bear

Captain Morgan

Dear world,

Every time Rosy pees, she lifts up her leg just like Captain Morgan! Maybe that means she wants to be called Captain Rosy? Or is she trying to describe herself as Original Spiced Rosy? Or maybe she is just answering the question "Got a little Captain in you?" Or maybe from the old advertising campaign she was saying "The Captain (Rosy) was here". So I asked her. She said she is doing the Captain Morgan Workout she saw on YouTube.

Love always,

Bear

Glee

Dear world,

Catching a tennis ball. Its an indescribable feeling. When that ball hits my mouth grand symphonies go off in my head, and I envision the brightest of all fireworks. Yes, that is why I love to play catch with my tennis ball. I am literally jumping for joy. My very own momentary Glee.

Love always,

Bear

Spa Mobile

Dear world,

The other day this van pulls up to our house. This very nice lady got out and took Rosy from Mom. She told us not to worry, that the Spa has come to Rosy! And the lady left the door open so I could watch. Then Fuzzy came out to watch too. It was interesting for awhile, but also a great time for a nap. Rosy looked and smelled so pretty when she got done. I thought I was next, but the lady drove away. I guess I that means my spa appointments will continue to be with Mom.

Love always,

Bear

Happy Birthday to You BunnyBell!

Disco Horse

Dear world,

The other day we drove through Germantown which is the city next to Memphis. Mom insisted that we stop so that she can show me a horse. Mom told me he is her fav among 21 horses located all over town that were designed by local artists to celebrate the Germantown Charity Horseshow's 60th anniversary. His name is "Reflections", but Mom calls him Disco Horse. I can see why, just standing next to him I felt like I was coming down with a (Saturday Night) fever. Don't ya feel like dancin'?

Love always,

Bear

FuzzBuzz: Protect Rosy

Dear world,

A while ago, Bear did a post about Bear and Hank some of our dog friends in the neighborhood. Well now Bear has a crush on Rosy. (Bear of Bear and Hank. Not my brother Bear.) Anyway, Rosy is my sister. And even though she doesn't like me, I need to play the role of a big brother and protect her. So when Bear went over to Rosy and started whispering, I wanted to let Bear know not to get fresh with my sister. So I put my mark on his fence. No one messes with Fuzz's sister!

Forever,

Fuzzy

Insides Photoshoot

Dear world,

Yesterday, Mom took me to a new vet for a photo shoot of inside of me. The first thing he did was shave some of my belly hair. Obviously he doesn't have grooming experience. Anyway, he started rubbing my belly with this cool object. It felt so good that I fell asleep and started snoring. No, I was not drugged. He didn't see anything bad, so Mom was very happy. The doc couldn't believe how relaxed and content I was. Well, yah, I was getting a bellyrub for 20 minutes! Why doesn't Mom's camera give me bellyrubs during photoshoots?

Love always,

Bear

Belt Diet

Dear world,

The other day my human sis Sydne said she was back on the belt diet. "when your waist belt is too tight it is almost impossible to eat". So it got me to thinking. why don't I go on the belt diet? Sounds easy enough. So I borrowed my mom's belt. And I stepped on the scale for motivation (yikes, 95 lbs!). Then I asked Mom for a bag of treats. She set them down and I tested my will power. Mom wasn't happy about the drool all over the scale. I lasted for 5 minutes. Then Mom gave me a treat. So much for the belt diet.

Love always,

Bear

TipToe Through the Tulips

Dear world,

Well this time, I did see tulips. First I smelled one. Nope, no flower smell. And no peemail. Next, I just had to admire them. Yellow, my favorite color flower of course. And then the tune started to ring in my ear . "Tip toe from the garden, by the garden, of the willow tree, so won't you tip toe through the tulips with me?" I really need a ukulele.

Love always,

Bear

Bulldog or Husky?

Dear world, Tonight is the National Championship for College Basketball. Not sure why it is not called the Final Two. Anyway, since it is between two dog teams it really peaks my interest. It got me to thinking, would I rather be a Husky or a BullDog? I think I look better as a Husky, but I look tougher as a BullDog. So which team do you think I should root for?

Love always,

Bear

Hedgehogs & Alligators

Dear world,

The other day Dad bought Fuzz & I hedgehogs and Rosy an alligator. They were very odd looking edible dental chews. Fuzz just hung with his for awhile sulking that he could not have the alligator. Rosy took that and hid it in her bed. But then Fuzz realized he could eat his hedgehog and proceeded to bite its head off! I, on the other paw, took my hedgehog and was very gentle, licking and nibbling from the bottom. Eventually, I ate the whole thing. But that night, I had a horrible nightmare about all these headless hedgehogs chasing me. I woke up and threw up. No more hedgehogs for me!

Love always,

Bear

Final Four

Dear world,

Well it is Final Four weekend Of course I am fascinated by basketball since AirBud is my hero. So I thought I would give it a try. First I put on my basketball shirt- a white one so as not to play favorites. Then I went out on the basketball court with a basketball. (For this special event I left my tennis ball at home). I looked up at the basket and thought about trying a lay-up. But I thought I would be much better at a lay-down. So I just went home to watch the Final Four. I will leave the heroics to AirBud.

Love always,

Bear

FuzzBuzz: Fuzzy's Taco Shop

Dear world, The other day I told Bear about the Taco Shop franchise that Mom & Dad are thinking of buying. It is called Fuzzy's Taco Shop. Bear tried to act happy for me, but I know he was a bit upset. I told him I would give him tacos on Tuesday. But today, I said to Bear.. "ya know what I told you about Fuzzy's Taco Shop? APRIL FOOLS! " HaHaHaHa! Now Bear is researching Pizza franchises.

Forever,

Fuzzy
