Good Morning World

Dear world,

The other day I passed by a News truck and it got me to thinking. Maybe I should be a reporter. I am very interested in what is going on in the world and also love to share with the world. So it would be very similar to blogging, just on TV. And since Rosy was such a good guest reporter for me, she could do celebrity features. I could start reporting for Good Morning Memphis with the vision of creating and anchoring Good Morning World.

Love always,

Bear

Weekend Swim

Dear world,

Since it got so hot over the weekend, we got to go into the pool. Mom tried taking Rosy in, since she didn't want to go in herself. But she went right back out. Then Mom tried to entice her with a tennis ball. I kept trying to show Rosy how much fun it was to fetch in the water. But Rosy did not want to go get the ball. She just waited till it came to her. I asked her why she didn't want to swim. She said she doesn't like the way her hair looks when it gets wet. Ugh. Girls!

Love always,

Bear

Indy 500

Dear world,
Today is the 100th Anniversary Indy 500 race. It got me to thinking, what if I were a race car driver? I am in awe of Helio Castroneves - three time winner. Rosy is interested too. She is very inspired by the four women in this year's race, especially Danica Patrick. Well Rosy can be Rosica, and I can be Beario. Not only would we get to drink milk if we win, but then we could be in a commercial or go on Dancing with the Stars!

Love always,

Beario

Memorial Day Weekend

Dear world,
Its Memorial Day weekend! Memorial Day honors US soldiers. So we want to thank and pay tribute to all the soldiers that have given themselves to protect our country and freedom around the world. And we would also like to thank whomever made this weekend known for barbeque. Dad has already promised to fire up the grill!

Love always,

Bear

FuzzBuzz:Golden Gate

Dear world,

Bear asked me to report on the Golden Gate Bridge's birthday. It was opened on this date in 1937. It is one of the most beautiful bridges in the world. The website explains things to do: Biking, Walking, Shopping, Learning, Snacking. Well, Mom and Dad maybe would want to bike. Mom would also want to do shopping with Rosy. Dad and Bear would want to learn. Of course that leaves snacking for me, my favorite past time. I did not mention walking, cause dogs are not allowed to walk across the bridge. So how are we supposed to get across? Bear said maybe since we are Goldens, they will make an exception since it is our namesake.

Forever,

Fuzzy

P.S. Maybe the Golden Gate Bridge can be like the Memphis Botanic Garden and do a Dog Days of Summer! (see comments on yesterday's post.)

Botanic Garden

Dear world,

I really love flowers. I think they are so pretty to look at and sniff. I wish I could go to the Memphis Botanic Garden. It's supposed to be one of the best in the US -96 acres with 23 gardens. They even have a kids garden called My Big Backyard that offers a place for jumping, splashing, digging, creating and discovering the joys of time spent outdoors. Now that sounds absolutely perfect for me. But as usual, I , a dog, am not allowed to enjoy. I just don't get it. How am I supposed to become a well rounded cultured canine if I am not allowed into any of these educational venues?.

Love always,

Bear

Starbucks

Dear world,

The other day Rosy asked me if we could go to Starbucks. I asked her how does she know about Starbucks? She told me when she was in California, she and BunnyBell grabbed a Starbucks and went for a chat in the park. I told her Memphis is a bit different than California. Here, we should go and grab some barbecue. She liked that idea.

Love always,

Bear

Happy Birthday Mr. Dylan!

Dear world,
Today is Bob Dylan's 70th birthday. He has been a music icon for five decades! He was born Robert Alan Zimmerman. But inspired by poet Dylan Thomas he just called himself what he wanted to be called. How cool! That got me to thinking what it would be like if I called myself Bear Dylan. I wonder if I could write and record songs like Barkin' in the Wind or Like a Rolling Bone. Hmmm. If I can blog, why not song write? I think I will ask Mom for a guitar.

Love always,

Bear

Bearnocchio

Dear world,

One of my favorite stories is Pinocchio. I can so relate to him wanting to be a boy. In order to become a boy, Pinocchio had to be Brave, truthful and unselfish. Well, I never lie so I wouldn't have a nose growing problem. That's good. And I think as I have matured I have become unselfish. For instance, even though I was here first, I share my toys and my Mommy with Fuzz & Rosy. So that brings me to brave. I have always been known as a "sensitive guy" because a lot of things make me very anxious and scared. Visits to the vet for example. And those tornadoes don't bring out the bravery in me. OK, so I still have work to do before I am Bearnoccio.

Love always,

Bear

The Graduate

Dear world,

This weekend my human bro graduates from college! Humans make graduation such a big deal that it got me to thinking. What must it feel like to be a graduate? I guess it must be a big feeling of accomplishment. And a relief that there is no more homework. And I guess it means that you will soon be leaving home to be on your own. Leaving home? No, I don't want to graduate.

Congratulations Graduates!

Love always,

Bear

FuzzBuzz: Autogyro

Dear world,
Bear and I are always discussing how we dont get to see the world since we are BIG dogs. So I suggested to Bear that we rent an Autogyro. He thought it was an interesting idea. I told him since I thought of it, I would be the pilot. He said we would take turns but I could go first. I thought that was fair. He told me to do some more research on the viability of our venture and report back to him. Off to my assignment.

Forever,

Fuzzy

Retriever rulers

Dear world,
On April 14, I did a post about Dogpolean. Yesterday, I finally met him and he agreed to a meeting with me and Fuzz. His name is actually Max. That is short for Maximillian. (So I wasn't so far off with Dogpolean!). Anyway, he acquiesced that he would just rule his house property and not the neighborhood. And since we are all retrievers, we decided we could call ourselves Retriever Rulers. So all retrievers in the neighborhood (there are a ton) can join. Rosy felt so left out. So she anointed herself Queen Rosy. She said she rules the retrievers. Great. So now its Rosypolean.

Love always,

Bear
