Fashion Inspiration

Dear world,

I am often intrigued by the latest trends. And a celebrity trend reported by http://www.thinkthrufashion.com/ got me to thinking. I am not usually fashionable, but this trend inspired me. I think leopard shoes are pretty cool! Maybe this could also be a trend among dogs? So I tried the leopard booties but Dad got upset. So we decided the heels would look better on Rosy. Maybe they have leopard wingtips for me.

Love always,

Dishwasher practices

Dear world,

The dishwasher is very confusing to me. Some humans put dishes in the dishwasher exactly as they are without rinsing. Others rinse the dish with water before putting it in. Other humans wash the dishes with soap and then put them in the dishwasher. (What is the point of that?) And lets not even go into how many different ways humans load the dishwasher. Why does everyone do things so differently? Don't dishwashers come with instructions?

Dog's Museum?

Dear world,

When my little human niece and nephew were here, everyone went to the Children's Museum and loved it. Fuzz, Rosy and I didn't get to go because dogs aren't allowed. So the other day on a walk we passed the Children's Museum. There were lots of children coming in and out that looked very happy. I wonder why there isn't a Dog's Museum that dogs can have a fun and educational learning experience. I know my Mom would take us for sure. Do you know of any where you live?

Love always,

BobCat

Dear world,

There is lots of construction stuff going on in my yard. Yesterday they drove in this new thing that I hadn't seen before. It had its name on it. BobCat. It didn't look anything like a Cat. And it got me to thinking. Lots of stuff is named after the feline species. Why can't I think of anything named after the canine or Bearnine species?

Love always,

Baby you can drive my car!

Dear world,

The other day on our walk, we came across something exciting that was put by the neighbors trash. A pink jeep! Rosy asked me if she could drive it. I said, it wasn't my car. But if it was (I sang) "Baby you can drive my car!" So Rosy took that as a yes.

Earth Hour

Dear world,

Tonight at 8:30pm it is Earth Hour. I, Bear in Memphis, will join with people (and their pets) in 128 countries around the world, and turn the lights off in our house. Earth hour is a celebration of something we all have in common- planet Earth. But we also need to think beyond the hour. I asked Mom what she can do. She said she will try really hard to always remember to take the reusable canvas bags when she goes to the supermarket. I suggested that I could help by having less baths and sleeping later. Mom said I was on the right track, but I needed to think outside the Bear. What will you do beyond Earth Hour?

Love always,

Bear

FuzzBuzz: Veggies to wear

Dear world,

As you probably know by now, I love to eat, but I need to lose weight. Mom has been giving me lots of veggies like carrots and green beans to fill me up. And instead of treats, she even gives me carrot bones sometimes. Well the other day, a package arrived for me. Now, not only do I get to eat my veggies, but I will be wearing them too! Introducing my new Veggie collar and leash set. It looks so good, I almost want to eat it!

Forever,

Fuzzy

PupCakes!

Dear world,

Last weekend we celebrated my Gotcha Day. Instead of a regular cake, Mom made us PupCakes! I watched her mix in peanut butter...yum! Then when they were done, she frosted them with cream cheese! Double Yum! There was one for each of us. She served them to us on a very fancy plate. Triple YUM! The box they came in said Pupcakes 2 Go. In our house, they're called Pupcakes Go 2 Fast.

Love always,

My Playoff Beard

Dear world,

I am so glad I live in Memphis now. It is only fitting for me, a Bear, to be a fan of another Bear species. So as a Memphis Grizzlies fan, I have taken the pledge to rock a beard to the playoffs: "This is my playoff beard. It is a symbol of my untameable grizlliness. Since I cannot grow a beard, I am wearing one that closely resembles what a beard would look like if I did grow one. My playoff beard and I are the guardians of the Blue and Gold and the defenders of Grizz Country."

GO GRIZZLIES!

Love always,

Bear

The Baby Squirrel Story

Dear world,

Yesterday, Mom found a baby squirrel in our backyard. Of course she freaked, but immediately googled. She read that you need to put the baby in a box on something soft like a t-shirt. Luckily, one of the cable guys that were working outside got him into the box with the J.Crew tshirt. Then she found out the baby needs a hot water bottle with a sock over it in the box. She then put the box where she found the baby hoping that Mama Squirrel would get it. That is when I went over to guard the squirrel. Mom said it was very noble of me, but Mama Squirrel won't come if I am there. (Why would a squirrel be scared of me?) But I listened, cause Mom was in no mood for my thought provoking questions. Well, Mama Squirrel never came. So luckily, a nice Squirrel rescue/rehab lady told Mom she was able to take care of the baby. So when Dad came home, he went to get the box. The squirrel had crawled up in the sock! Dad thought it suffocated and Mom said "I killed it?" And then Dad took away the sock and the baby moved! Relief! Then Mom and Dad brought the baby over to the rehab lady's house. The lady felt that the baby will be OK. And she told them it was a girl! A girl squirrel. I love rhymes. And I also love happy endings. (Paws crossed for Baby Girl Squirrel!)

Love always,

SpringRolls

Dear world,
Yesterday was the first official day of Spring. So I took a stroll and a roll outside. I really wanted to tiptoe through the tulips, but Mom told me they were daffodils. I said I could go dallying through the daffodils. She told me to stick with my SpringRolls.

Love always,

Happy Birthday Sydne!

Dear world,
Sydne is my human sister who I love very much. She lives far away in Los Angeles. Sydne is the fashion icon in the family. Everything she does is about Fashion...hosts, styles and blogs! Her blog is http://www.thinkthrufashion.com/ . My guess is that when she was my age, Mom probably dressed her up a lot too. So that possibly influenced her style and career. Maybe I should follow in her footsteps. A new blog... ThinkThruDogFashion? Ok. Maybe not.
Happy Birthday Sydne!

Love always,

Bear
