Poodle Fur

Dear world,

I am a little concerned. Ever since Rosy came, my fur is starting to curl more. I used to only have a little curl around my shoulder blade. But now when I get wet, half my back is curly and looks like poodle fur. Uh Oh. Is poodle fur contagious?

Love always,

Dorothy and the Wizard

Dear world,

Rosy's hair had gotten so long that Mom discovered she could braid her ears! So she did and she even put little bows on them. Mom thought she looked like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Personally, I thought Rosy looked a lot more like Toto. Rosy didn't want to look like Dorothy or Toto. She asked me to put on my wizard hat and use my magic powers to make her look like Rosy again. And the Spa Mobile drove up! And there was beautiful Rosy again! The great and powerful Wizard Bear!

Love always,

Bear

Smurf Bear

Dear world,

The new Smurf Movie came out today. Those little smurfs are so cute. It got me to thinking what it must be like to be a Smurf. Well first of all I need to shrink cause I would be only three apples high. And I need to start barking in smurf. It would be cool not to get older. But if I am blue, can I still be a Golden?

Love always,

Lasagna Day

Dear world,

When I found out Lasagna Day was tomorrow, I asked Mom if she would make us Lasagna. I never had Lasagna, but I know Garfield likes it. She said she doesnt have time and besides Dad doesnt like it. I told her she could just buy a Lasagna so I could have another cultural experience. Well she went to the grocery store and I saw the Lasagna box! I told Rosy maybe if we gave a big smile Mom would make it for us tomorrow!

Love always,

Bear

Not amused

Dear world,

While cleaning out a closet, Mom found this wig. I thought Uh Oh, and I was right. So of course I had to put on the wig so Mom could take pictures and laugh hysterically. I was not amused. Then Rosy came over to see what was going on. I tried to warn her, but she is always so curious. She was not amused either. Well at least we got cookies.

Love always,

Bear

Happy Birthday Mick!

Dear world,
Today is Mick Jagger's birthday. Obviously he is a rock legend. But his mouth is also legendary. In pictures, he always has this huge smile. So it got me to thinking. Maybe, like me, he is waiting for somone to throw him a ball. But again like me, he doesnt get to play fetch as often as he wants. So hence maybe that is why he can't get no satisfaction or he cant always get what he wants. I know exactly how he feels.

Happy Birthday Mick!

Love always,

Bear

Tuna addict

Dear world,
After Rosy had her teeth pulled last month, the vet suggested she have some tuna oil. So Mom got her a can of tuna. Well since then, Rosy is totally obsessed. Dad often opens a can of tuna for lunch. The minute she hears the can open and gets a whiff of tuna smell she runs over and won't take her eyes off Dad. Well of course, Dad can't resist her, so she always gets some. Do you think she is part kitty?

Love always,

Bear

Wizard Bear

Dear world,

I found this Wizard hat the other day and it got me to thinking. Maybe if I wear it I will have magic powers. So I put it on and wished it to be cooler. Well that didn't work so I went inside and it was cooler. Then I wished for more tennis balls. When I went over to my basket, there were so many more. Mom said those were the ones she found under the couch. Then I wished for pizza. When I went into the kitchen, I saw my Mom heating up a Lean Cuisine pizza. Hmmm. Maybe there is something to this wizard thing. But I think I need more practice.

Love always,

Bear

A visit to the Zoo

Dear world,

We have heard so much about the Memphis Zoo. Everyone loves it and its always rated one of the best zoos in the U.S. So Rosy and I wanted to visit the Memphis Zoo. Well we got as far as the front entrance, and then we weren't allowed. Well, at least we got to see the big sculpture animals. They were pretty cool. Maybe the Zoo will have a special day for dogs like the Memphis Botanic Garden is having in August. I think at minimum I should at least get to see the Bears.

Love always,

Bear

Hammock Day

Dear world,
I heard today was hammock day. Well since I don't have a hammock, I figured I would celebrate the day by imagining what it must be like to have one. I made sure mine had a canopy to keep out the sun. I also used my imagination to have the temperature outside be 65 degrees with a nice breeze. I asked Rosy to bring me a nice cold drink and some cookies. She refused and told me that she was not a figment of my imagination.

Happy Hammock Day!

Love always,

Bear

Hot weather walks

Dear world,

Mom likes to take us on a 2 mile walk around the golf course. But now that it is so hot, I don't like to go all the way around. So when I get tired, Mom calls Dad. He comes with the car, brings water, takes the poop bags and takes me home. Usually, Mom continues walking with Rosy who likes to walk far or carried if she gets too tired.. Don't we have a great Mom and Dad? or should I say dog walker, chauffeur and valet. Maybe they should wear uniforms.

Love always,

Bear

Mission Commander Bear

Dear world,

Today is the anniversary of the day man first walked on the moon in 1969! In honor of that, Mom gave me an astronaut Bear. Of course it got me to thinking how cool it must be to be an astronaut. So I looked into what it would take to become one. Well, I am a U.S. Citizen and I think I would do OK on a physical exam (maybe I need to diet a little more.). I would need to go to college and study math or science. I like both those subjects. Three years of experience - or get a doctorate. I would do the latter. Then 1000 hours of flying-- how fun would that be! The only problem is that I don't meet the height requirements. You have to be at least 64" tall. Bummer.

Love always,

Bear
