FuzzBuzz: Fuzz Lightyear

Dear world,
Today I want to recognize the opening Toy Story 3. Buzz Lightyear is my idol, that is why one of my favorite nicknames is FuzzLightyear. In fact I prefer to be called Fuzz. I am disappointed that I can't go to see the movie. Bear told me we are not allowed. So I asked Mom if we could watch Toy Story 1 and 2 at home this weekend. She said we could watch one of them. Bear is already on my Mom's case to have popcorn for our movie. He told me she always shares since she doesn't want to eat the whole bowl herself. So... To infinity...and beyond!

Forever,

FuzzLightyear

Bone Jour

Dear world,
My Mom and Dad just got back from Paris. I was just so disappointed that I was not able to go. I was even trying to learn French. Bone jour, Au Woofoir, J'e yourpal Bear, and of course I love you... Je t' aime. Mom explained that it was their anniversary trip so I needed to stay home. Well, I understood that I guess. But I really would like to go to Paris one day. I have a feeling though that I will need to settle for Paris, Tennessee.

Love always,

Bear

Happy Birthday Caroline!

Dear world,

Today is my niece Caroline's birthday. I can't believe she is turning four! That is how old I was when I met her. She was just a baby! Last year she visited us in San Diego and came to the beach with me. She loved the beach, but didn't care too much about me. Next month she is visiting us in Memphis. I hope she will come in the pool with me. Her mom told us that she loves dogs now. So I hope she loves me now. I love her very much and can't wait to give her a great big Bear hug!

Love always,

Uncle Bear

A break

Dear world,
As you may or may not know, everyone in my family has some recent bone ailment. Dad with his injured heel, Mom with her broken toe and fractured ankle and Fuzz with his broken toe. Don't be concerned, they are all healing nicely. I was the only one without a bone ailment. But the other day I heard about this thing called carpel tunnel that could happen to your wrist if you use your computer too much. So I have decided to take a break from blogging for a little while. I want to protect my wrist and make sure I don't get carpel tunnel.
In the meantime, if you miss your daily Bear fix, you can read back posts. I am sure most of you haven't seen all of my posts. I have been posting daily since January 25th !

Love always,

Bear

What goes up must come down

Dear world,

Fuzz has been with us over a month and he never wanted to go upstairs. So Mom hasn't been using her upstairs office (she works in the kitchen) and Mom & Dad don't use the upstairs family room with the big TV. So Mom decided to try to get Fuzz upstairs last weekend. Well it was pretty easy, she just gave him treats all the way up and he came right up. Everyone was happy. Then it was time to go down. Uh Oh. Fuzz wanted nothing to do with it. He was very scared. Mom put treats on every step and kept giving them to him each time he went one or two steps, but he just ran back up. Then she took out the big guns- freshly grilled chicken pieces. That got him down 5 steps, but again he ran back up. Finally, my dad got out his collar and leash and got him to go down the stairs at which point he got lots of praise and more chicken. So that got me to thinking. If I refuse to go down the stairs will they get me pizza?

Love always,

Bear

The Bachelorette

Dear world,

It is that season again when Mom glues herself to the TV on Monday night. Nope. Not football. The Bachelorette. I still don't know why they don't have this show for dogs. I do not want to be the bachelor anymore, now I want to be the host. For the first Doglerette I think it should be BunnyBell. She is my neice, so I need to give her first dibs. I as host will introduce her to the dogelors and she will give out bones. Uh oh. I dont know if it is going to work. I just can't imagine BunnyBell giving up bones.

Love always,

Bear

Diving?

Dear world,
At home we have a diving board that no one uses. So I got on it today thinking if it is something I might want to do. I watched competitive diving in the Olympics and it was very exciting. It looks a little scary when they are up so high, but I would start out low on my diving board. So should I do a forward, back, reverse or inward dive? Should I start with a pawstand? What about incorporating a twist? Don't I sound like a diver already?! Actually, after reading more about it, it is too complicated. I will just continue to walk in the pool by stairs. So much for Bear Louganis.

Love always,

Bear

Rocky vs Alvin

Dear world,

This is an update to my post about the squirrel chair. The chair has caused daily drama in my yard. Rocky the squirrel was perfectly happy nibbling at the corn on the chair. Dad would replace the corn every few days or so. Then we started having to replace the corn at least daily. Well, this week we discovered why. Alvin the chipmunk appeared. Don't know how such a little guy can eat so much! Well, Rocky is not real happy with Alvin around. Alvin and the chipmunks go to get the corn when Rocky & friends aren't around. But Alvin even goes when Rocky is there. So Rocky has started sitting in the chair to protect his corn. But that doesn't stop Alvin. He just waits till Rocky gets off and is not looking. Sometimes Rocky sees him and yells at him and Alvin scoots. Other times, Alvin just goes on the chair himself and climbs on the corn! I'm not sure who to root for. What do you think? Alvin or Rocky?

Love always,

Bear

FuzzBuzz: Right Turn

Dear world,

I have a nickname here in my new home. "Right Turn". I am not sure I totally understand. Mom and Dad say that my right ear looks like a signal to turn right. That made Bear think it is like a car signaling a turn. So now Bear wants to put a blinking light on my ear so that my nickname is more understandable. I dont think I will let him do that but I am willing to listen to his bribe. But it needs to be more than just one biscuit.

Forever,

Fuzzy

Collars update

Dear world,

In February when I was an only dog, I did a blog post on my ten collars. I thought I would do an update now that Fuzzy's here too. I have more collars (12) than Fuzzy does at this point (7). My new favorite is bright green with squirrels and trees on it. Perfect tribute to my new home! Mom tried to get Fuzz some coordinating ones to mine. So he has a green/blue preppy stripe and a horseshoe one matching my crabs. Then Dad picked out a bright blue one with hearts and bones. Made sense since he loves bones. Mom picked out the Dog of war one since he likes to play tug of war. She also got us cool matching ones which have historical American flags on them. This count does not even include the upcoming holiday collars. Are you sure this is normal?

Love always,

Bear

Rolling Partners

Dear world,

Fuzz doesnt like tennis balls or swimming. However, we do have one major activity in common. Grass Rolling. Fuzz has become my rolling partner. Where as I like to rub my spine hard and go back and forth a lot. Fuzz is more of a stretch roller. He likes to take his time and stretch his paws really far out before rolling to the other side. He also makes noises when he rolls. Maybe he is doing some kind of ancient dance that I dont know about. I need to watch more carefully. Nah. I will just spend my grass time rolling, not watching.

Love always,

Bear

Daddy's little boy

Dear world,

My dad loves to take his little grandkids in the pool and carry them around. It seems like so much fun. So yesterday when Dad was in the pool, I decided I wanted to try it to. So I swam over to Dad and he lifted me up like a baby. It was a little weird at first, but really nice to be held by Dad. Maybe next I'll try jumping in his lap and he can bounce me on his knee. Not.

Love always,

Bear
