Swimming Companion

Dear world,

Mom and I have this new activity. She is my new swimming companion. I used to love fetch swimming with my brother Oliver in the pool. Then when I went to the beach, I would always pick one dog and fetch swim with him or her out in the ocean. I have always liked to fetch swim with someone, so why not my Mom? No, she doesn't go after a ball she just does laps. But I get to swim beside her back and forth just like my canine partners and she likes it. This is just more evidence. I really do think she must have some canine in her DNA.

P.S. Mom is not in the picture because she is beside me taking it.

Love always,

Bear

A Golden Collie

Dear world,

So the results of Fuzz's DNA test came in. And no one guessed right! (Not even my Mom and she is always right.) Well, Fuzz is part Golden Retriever which we figured. But he is also part Collie! How cool is that. He's a Golden Collie! That means he might be related to Lassie! So, since I am now his brother, I am related to Lassie. What a great combo. AirBud and Lassie!

Love always,

Bear

Big Brothers

Dear world,
There is a confusing situation. Fuzz calls me his big brother and I call Fuzz my big brother. Fuzz says that I am older, so I am the big brother. But I tell him that he is my big brother because he is bigger (taller and heavier, although he points out that he is not fat at all.) So we have agreed to both be big brothers, but it is very confusing to others. I think we need an outside opinion. Who do you think is the "big brother"?

Love always,

Bear

Chip off the old block

Dear world,

Today is Dad's birthday. It got me to thinking about what Dad must have been like when he was born. So Mom showed me a picture of baby Dad. I can't believe how little he once was. He was smaller than me! It is really hard for me to imagine! But I know it is my dad because I think I see the resemblance around the eyes. Don't you?

Happy Birthday Dad...from your chip off the old block

Love always,

Bear

Time out

Dear world,

Last weekend I heard a new concept called time out. My nephew Lawson was being a little wild and wasn't listening to his Mom. His Mom kept warning him that if he didn't behave he would go to time out. Well he still didn't listen, so she said OK, we are going to time out. So she took him upstairs. I didn't really understand. If she said they were going to time out, why did she stay in? Why didn't she go outside for time out? That is really bizarre. Well, I have never been sent to time out because I am a good boy. So I guess I will never know.

Love always

FuzzBuzz: Too hot

Dear world,

My family likes to be outside during the weekend days. But I am too hot. Bear goes in the pool. I don't like water. I like to stay inside in the A/C. But Mom and Dad really want me to be outside with them. So they took me to the pet store and bought me some stuff. Bear said it was bribes. First they bought me some toys that squeak and I could play with outside. They were fun. But certainly not worth being hot. Then I saw the giant bully stick. Now that got me interested. Yes. I chewed on it for a few minutes, but then I got too hot and wanted to go inside. So they let me in without my bully stick. Do you think Bear ate my bully stick?

Forever,

Fuzzy

Red Carpet Premiere

Dear world,

Tonight is the L.A. premiere of The Twilight Saga:Eclipse. Now you might wonder why I know that. Well, tonight my sister Sydne will be on the red carpet doing commentary for E!Online. How exciting is that! I am so proud that she is my sister. So it got me to daydreaming. What if I were the star of the Twilight movies. And of course, my costars would be Fuzz and BunnyBell. I'm glad it is only a dream because I am scared of vampires and werewolves. So it wouldn't work out. But I can't wait to watch Sydne talk about it! 5:00 Pacific time from Hollywood!

Love always,

Bear

Monkey in the Middle

Dear world,

Last week when my human brother was here, we played this game while we were out by the pool with Dad. They took my ball and threw it back and forth to eachother. I was in the middle, trying to catch it on each throw. I didn't understand why they weren't just throwing it to me. Dad told me we were playing Monkey in the middle. I asked him where the monkey was. He told me I was the monkey in the middle. I didnt get it. I am a Bear, not a monkey. So I guess we were playing Bear in the middle. Well, I really prefer fetch.

Love always,

Bear

A Hot Tub?

Dear world,

It gets to be like 100 degrees outside. So during the day, if I am not swimming in the pool, all I'm thinking about is being in the house in the cool A/C. And then there is my Dad. On weekends, when he finishes working out and he is dripping (I'm glad I don't sweat) he goes and turns on the hot tub. He waits until it gets real hot and then proceeds to sit in it. Now mind you, it is daytime, so he is also baking in the sun. He asks Fuzz and I to be outside with him and throws the ball for me to chase. We tell him to get real and we run inside. I just don't understand the point of a hot tub in Memphis in the summertime.

Love always,

Bear

Fetch 101

Dear world,

I got to meet my nephew Lawson last weekend. He is very cute. He even likes to play ball with me. Well, it was more like he tried to play with me. He kept on throwing a ball to me when I already had one in my mouth. And then when someone took my ball from my mouth and gave it to him he just handed it back to me. That was nice, but someone needs to teach him to play fetch properly. Come to think of it, it would be good for human children to learn from a very early age how to play fetch with dogs. Maybe Sesame Street can have a segment on it.

Love always,

Bear

#1 Dad

Dear world,

Today is Father's Day. I love my Dad very much. I know he loves me too. He used to love Oliver more and now I think Fuzz may be his favorite. But I think that is only because Mom is my favorite and Dad is my second favorite. So I guess it is only fair that I have always been his second favorite too. I would love to eventually become his first favorite, but I also like to have goals which I know I can possibly achieve. So #2 is not so bad. Happy Father's Day to my #1 Dad.

Love always,

Bear

Woof Cup

Dear world,

With all the excitement around the World Cup, I decided to see what soccer was all about. So my mom took out a soccer ball (it is really amazing that she has all these things). First she threw it on the grass and said to chase it. No, that is not what I saw them do on TV. So then she went over and kicked it to me (so much for her sore ankle). That is when I went after it and tried some paw kicks. Now that was lots of fun! No wonder AirBud took up soccer. I should start practicing for the next Woof Cup.

Love always,

Bear
