Theatre Ghost

Dear world,
I heard about the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis. http://www.orpheum-memphis.com/ It has a long interesting history back to Vaudeville times. I am really curious to go inside because I would like to meet Mary, the Theatre ghost. She is a young girl ghost that has been seen there for more than 50 years at performances. I have never met a ghost before, and she is supposed to be nice. I wonder if I should wait by the door during a performance and maybe she would come outside during intermission.

Love always,

Bear

Thank you MFD

Dear world,
On my walk the other day, I saw a fire engine come very near my street. And then I looked and garbage pails were on fire! Thank goodness the fire department put the fire totally out before it reached a house. So I went over to say hello and thank them for their service protecting us from fires and saving people and animals. They are so brave everyday. I didn't meet the fire dog. I am in awe of dogs with that career.

Love always,

Bear

Grizzlies Ball

Dear world,

I wanted to see where the Memphis Grizzlies played basketball. So Mom & Dad took me downtown to see the FedEx Forum. Wow, it is a big place. And there was a really big basketball that was outside in front. I think it must have rolled out of the stadium. Judging by the size of that ball, they must be really big basketball players. No wonder they are called Grizzlies.

Love always,

FuzzBuzz: Vegetable Garden

Dear world,

When it snowed, I could eat all the snow I wanted. But with the snow gone, I wondered what I could eat infinite amounts of. Someone said carrots and green beans. So Mom brought them home. She said I cant eat infinite amounts of them, but I can eat a bunch. That sounds fair I guess. I suggested that we plant a vegetable garden for me. Bear said the veggies couldn't grow fast enough for my appetite. He said to stick to Costco's garden. That's where his tennis balls grow too.

Forever,

Fuzzy

Justin Bearber

Dear world,

Ever since Justin Bieber became a teen sensation, so did his hair. So it got me to thinking. What if I had that hairstyle? Would I too become a sensation? I guess my Mom could post a video of me barking. So maybe someone would discover me too. Justin Bearber?

Love always,

Info Bus

Dear world,

The other day I saw this big bright yellow bus. I had never seen one like it before, so I went over to look. It said InfoBus. So I thought this is a perfect resource for me. I always have so many questions about all things in life. I could just get on this bus and get all the info I need. It would make me feel so fulfilled, and so smart. Now all I need is a Library Card.

Love always,

Bear

Happy Birthday Blog!

Dear world,

I can't believe a year has passed since I started this blog! When I began, I lived in San Diego, so my posts were about California and lots of beach adventures. Then I moved to Tennessee in April (those were fun posts). My life in Memphis is quite different. Not only do I have a brother and a sister, I have been told I bark with a southern drawl (or is that drool?).

To commemorate my blog's birthday, I will donate $1 for each comment left below on today's post through the end of this month. The comment needs to say specifically which has been your favorite post of all time on this blog. The donations will be given to the Memphis Humane Society. One comment per person please. My piggy bank is not that big!

Love always,

Bear

Clang, Clang, Clang Went the Trolley

Dear world,

Memphis has these authentic vintage trolley cars that run downtown and stop at famous places. So I waited at a trolley stop. And there came the trolley. The trolleys are restored to their original elegance. So they are supposed to "invoke memories of the simple days of yesteryear." Well, I am only eight years old and my days aren't too complicated. But I did think the trolleys were real cool. Only problem, I was not allowed on. So I continued my sightseeing walk. Better for my weight watching new year's resolution anyway.

Love always,

Popsicle Stick!

Dear world,

Whenever I go on a golf course walk, I always find a stick, carry it around proudly, and then bring it home to put outside the door as potential firewood. Well, the other day during our walk in the snow, I found a stick. But it was not one of my usual sticks, it was a Popsicle stick! It was so delicious that I decided to sit right there and have it rather than bring it home. Amazing, how snow creates a whole new world of discovery.

Love always,

Bear

Steak Saturday

Dear world,

My Dad had a great idea. When Mom goes out of town, he wants to make it Steak Saturday. That would mean Steak n' Eggs in the morning, a Steak sandwich for lunch, and a Porterhouse steak for dinner. Mom overheard us and said she had a better idea. She suggested Salad Saturday. So now of course he will have to deal with Mom guilt if he moves forward with Steak Saturday. I have a feeling I will be smelling lettuce and tomato.

Love always,

Bear

FuzzBuzz: Jackpot!

Dear world,

Yesterday was a lucky day for me. Mom was getting our food ready. First she put Rosy's kibble in her bowl and placed it on the counter. Then she put Bear's kibble in his bowl. and put it down on the counter. Then as she was preparing mine, she made a klutz move and tipped Bear's full bowl over. JACKPOT! Before Mom could even reach for the dustpan, I, Fuzz the canine vacuum, cleaned it all up. I knew one day standing at attention next to Mom during feeding time would pay off.

Forever,

Fuzzy

RedBirds

Dear world,

Memphis doesn't have a Major League Baseball team which I originally thought was a bummer. But then I learned about the RedBirds. They are the Minor league baseball team here and Memphians are very proud of them. So since I now am a Memphian, I wanted to see where the RedBirds play . So Mom & Dad took me to see Autozone Park. But the Redbirds werent there. They will be flying back to their nest in April.

Love always,

Bear
