Pants down

Dear world,

Yesterday I went across the street to see this little man in my neighbor's driveway. It was very strange. He was very well dressed, except his pants were down. He seemed to smell something bad. And considering he was holding an empty toilet paper dispenser, I thought maybe he had pooped somewhere. So I sniffed around and didn't find anything. I guess his Mom picked it up. But why didn't she pull his pants back up?

Love always,

Hot Dog

Dear world,

July is National Hot Dog month. At first I thought that was so great, especially when Dad grilled hot dogs and gave us some. But then I thought more about it. It has been so hot here. So when I go outside I am always hot. Which makes me a hot dog. Is that why July is Hot Dog Month?

Love always,

Empty Lot

Dear world,

Almost everyday we walk by this empty lot. Lately, they have started preparing to build a house. Last week they built this structure toward the front of the lot. Mom said "I wonder what that is". I told her I thought it was quite obvious. The new family must have a guard dog. So that is the Guard DogHouse. I mean, what else could it be?

Love always,

Grizz Girl

Dear world,
The other day I talked to Rosy about coming with me to Memphis Grizzlies Summer Hoops camp (blogpost 6/11). She said she wasn't interested in learning basketball, but she did have interest in becoming a Grizz girl. I told her that unfortunately she has to wait until she gets older since you have to be 18 to audition. She said that is not a problem since type of years was not specified and she is way over 18 in dog years. Then I said they also require you to be a high school graduate. She said she has already started studying for a high school equivalency test. I hope they make those outfits in her size.

Love always,

Rule Broken

Dear world,

Mom and Dad always had a rule in the house. No dogs on furniture, except bed. And then Rosy came along. She gets to lay on the couch, sit on the club chair, the kitchen chair and any other chair her pretty little head wants to! I understand that she is small and doesn't shed, but I still didn't think it was fair. So when Mom and Dad went out of town, I decided I wanted to lay on the couch too. So I did, and Mom and Dad didn't know. Then yesterday Mom and Dad came home when I was sleeping...Busted! But they thought it was so sweet that Rosy and I were bonding. Perfect. Now I can be a Couch Beartato.

Love always,

Barrister Bear

Dear world,

Mom watched UK Law & Order the other day on BBC. I guess now that she has the U.S. ones memorized, she needed some new episodes. Anyway, it got me to thinking. Maybe I could be a barrister. I never really thought about being a lawyer, but seeing UK lawyers in their hair and robes with British accents, is very inspiring to me. Yes, I think I will look further into how to become Barrister Bear.

Love always,

Fourth Burger

Dear world,

Dad did get the hint and he grilled me burgers ! He asked how I like my hamburger. I said big and delicious. Then he asked what kind of cheese. It was a tough choice but I chose American since it was July 4th. Then after Mom and Dad finished eating, Dad came over to give Rosy and me our burgers. I know I should be very grateful for what I got, but it was missing bacon, lettuce, pickles, and a bun. I guess next time I need to specify when Dad asks how I like my burger.

Love always,

Have a cool July 4th!

Dear world,
Today is Independence Day in the U.S., better known as the Fourth of July. It is commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Lots of celebrating with fireworks, barbecues, picnics, and parades. Since so many activities are outdoors, I suggest everyone do what they can to stay cool. You can start by trying to look cool like us.

Love always,

Con and Crete Fourth

Dear world,

The other day, my kitty friends Sammi and Raven showed me a picture of their stone cat dressed for fourth of July. It made me feel bad that I did not think about my stone dogs. So here they are Con and Crete, posing with their July Fourth garb. Rather dapper, dont ya think?

Blog Towel

Dear world,

My sis Sydne's friend Jamie tweeted this picture. I am not sure why she would want her towel on a blog, but I thought since I like Jamie, I would do what she asked for. But it got me to thinking, a towel may be a very good way to communicate. I use towels often for a bath,when it rains or when I go swimming. So what if I put a personal message on a towel and also tweeted it? I wonder if it would work. We'll see.

Love always,

Weekend Barbecue

Dear world,

Its July 4th weekend. So that is supposed to mean barbecues. I thought I would give Dad a hint and wait by the grill in my Fourth of July hat. I wonder how long I will have to wait. I hope not too long. Cause even the smell of grilling burgers can't stop me from running inside if the fireworks start going off.

Love always,

Gus's Fried Chicken

Dear world,

When my human brother Stephen visited recently, Dad and Mom took him to Gus's Fried Chicken. I have heard it is one of the best fried chicken places in the whole US! Stephen and Dad went on and on about how great it was. Mom, not being a big chicken person liked it, but raved about their coleslaw. I hope one day I get to go to Gus's, at least for take out. I would love to eat fried chicken with Dad and Stephen. Mom's on her own with the slaw.

Love always,

Bear
