BunnyBell does NYC

Dear world,

This past week, my niece BunnyBell stayed in the Carlton Hotel in New York City with her friend Simba (and their respective Moms Sydne and Shauna). The hotel partnered with Animal Planet to offer a Pamper Your Pet Package. So of course BunnyBell and Simba, both who are used to being pampered, had to get the package. So when they arrived in their room there was a dog bed, dog blanket, dog bowls with placemat and cookies. They even got an indoor dog house! Their Moms got a list of NYC dog pampering activities like masseuses, groomers, and shopping places. And people think I'm spoiled?

Love always,

FuzzBuzz: Hairstyles

Dear world,

I heard my vet tell my Mom and Dad that I should get a haircut. They agreed and set an appointment with the groomer for next week. So I figured I would look through magazines and see which hairstyle would look best on me. Some of them would require color, I am not sure Mom would want to pay the extra (although she does for her hair.) So which style do you think I should ask for?

Forever,

Fuzzy

Fuzz and the Golden Bear

Dear world,

I am back from my vacation. The only thing I didn't get to do was play golf. So in honor of the the U.S. Open this week, Fuzz and I went to the nearby golf course. Fuzz was having trouble with his putting game so he wanted to give up on the last hole. Since I am a good brother, I tried to encourage him to keep trying. Actually, I just wanted him to move so I could make my shot.

Love always,

Bear

Swim to Drink

Dear world,

Yet another cool thing about my hotel. After a long day of swimming in the ocean I got very thirsty. So I went over to the pool and swam up to the bar! I didnt get to have a cerveza since I am not old enough to drink. But I did get a nice cold water (purified of course). I wonder why my pool at home doesnt have a swim up bar? Speaking of which, I guess I need to go home soon.

Love always,

Villa spa & soak

Dear world,

There is a lot of water stuff to do at this resort. Besides the beach and the pools, there is extra water activity in our villa. One day I got to go in the spa with Dad. That was cool. Well actually it was hot, too hot, so I got out. I went inside and then stepped to a private place outside for a soak in a giant soaking tub! Fuzz could have fit too, but he had no interest. He was too busy studying the in-villa dining menu.

Love always,

Bear

Sand Castles

Dear world,

One day at the beach, the whole family decided to build a castle compound. Everyone was working so hard on it. I thought I would help supervise. Then after it was built and the water was in the moat, I decided to take a break and go swimming. When I came back, the castle compound was gone, and my neice and nephews were stomping on the sand where it once stood. I never did get the point of building sandcastles.

Love always,

Feliz Cumpleanos Caroline!

Dear world,
Today is my niece Caroline's 5th birthday. So we decided to have a party for her in Mexico. We ordered a beautiful pink cake since that is her favorite color (what is it with pink and girls?) Fuzz got those trick candles cause he thinks it is hysterical when you can't blow them out. We all put on our Mexican party hats and sang Feliz Cumpleanos Caroline!

Love always,

Bear

P.S. While we learned how to sing and say things in Spanish. we did not learn how to type in Spanish. Therefore, there are no tildes or upside down exclamation points.

Pool Reflections

Dear world,
On some days, I didn't feel like spending the whole day at the beach. And instead of relaxing in our villa's pool, I thought it would be nice to lounge at the hotel's main pool . I was inspired by the pools name - Reflections. So I spent my time reflecting on what a lucky dog I am. Not every dog has the ability to imagine a Mexican vacation.

Love always,

Bear

Boogie Boarding

Dear world,

When I got to the beach I saw two of my sisters - Sydne and Bridget - boogie boarding out in the ocean. I had never done that before so I went to join them. That is such a cool activity. Fuzz wanted to stay dry, so he hopped on a boogie board and had my brother-in-law Chris pull him. I didn't think it was fair. I thought Fuzz should be the one pulling. But he said he is not a working dog. Especially not on his Mexican vacation.

Love always,

Bear

Hotel Arrival

Dear world,

Since Mom and Dad never came to get us to go to Mexico, I decided to have the vacation in my mind. (I did this back in February for Hawaii and it worked very well.) So I took Fuzz and Rosy along and we went to the Banyan Tree Resort in the Riviera Maya, Mexico. After checking in, we took an electric boat ride to our villa. Rosy insisted on driving the boat. So Fuzz and I were content to just enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Love always,

Bear

Adios!

Dear world,

Mom & Dad got picked up in a car to take them to the airport. They told us they were going to Mexico. So Fuzz, Rosy and I went inside and quickly got dressed. When we came back outside they were gone. Well, we are waiting for a car to pick us up and be taken to Mexico too. My computer is packed, so I will not be blogging until I get to Mexico. Adios!

Love always,

Bear

Camping

Dear world,
June has been proclaimed the Great Outdoors Month in the US. So it got me to thinking, maybe I should try camping. When looking through the Orvis Dog catalog, I saw this incredibly cool pop up tent. I asked Mom if she would buy it for me. She said if I want to sleep in the great outdoors, we have a dog house. But I thought that is where Dad is supposed to go when he gets in trouble?

Love always,

Bear
