Goodbye 2011 !

Dear world,
Its time to say goodbye to 2011. For me, this year was very good and very bad. On the bad side, I lost my bro Fuzz who I miss very much. On the good side, I got to move back to the home I love and have my beach again. So now I am spending the last evening of 2011 with my sis Rosy and my niece BunnyBell. They planned a nice New Year Eve's party with very pretty decorations. I am just hoping that they remembered to order the pizza.

Happy New Year!

Love always,

Bear

My Wombat

Dear world,

Well, I didn't get a pet chinchilla. But Mom and Dad adopted a wombat for me from the World Wildlife Fund. I never heard of a wombat. No wonder, cause they live in southeastern Australia . They are vegetarians that sleep all day and stay out late at night before going home to their burrow. And their poop is square! The girls have pouches on their backs to carry their baby. I will carry my wombat in my mouth, hope it doesn't mind. (I like my wombat, but still dream of having a chinchilla.)

Love always,

Bear

Masterpieces

Dear world,

Mom believes in introducing children to art. So Mom got each of us a famous painting. Rosy got a Pupcasso, BunnyBell got an Arfy Woofhall and I got a Vincent Van Dog. These masterpieces are very inspirational. Maybe I can be an artist... Rembearant?

Love always,

Bear

Package from Chicago

Dear world,
For Christmas, my family in Chicago sent us a big box of food stuff from their town. Dad was SUPER excited about the Italian Beef sandwich kit. But I had my eye and paw on the two deep dish pizza pies. Mom and Sydne made one of the pies. They let me have a VERY small slice. OMD! So yum. SO much cheese! I never had a pizza like that before. I can't wait till Mom makes the next one. But I really do hope she is a bit more generous with my slice. After all, it was a present for the whole family, right?

Love always,

Bear

Man dogs

Dear world,
The other day, my neighbor Buddy joined us on our beachwalk. It is usually me and only girls (Rosy , Mom and sometimes Bunnybell and Sydne, my human sis.) So I like having another man dog on my walk. Then I dont have to talk about shopping, I can talk about playing ball.

Love always,

Bear

Pajama Party

Dear world,

It has been unusually cold in San Diego this past month, especially at night and in the early morning. So that got me to thinking that maybe Rosy and I need pajamas. And since Bunnybell was coming to visit, maybe she needs pajamas too. And then I realized what a perfect gift that would be for Christmas. Now we can have a pajama party! (Don't you have pizza at pajama parties?)

Love always,

Bear

Merry Christmas

Dear world,
Today is Christmas. Christmas came early for me this year when I got my wish to live in San Diego again, I hope everyone gets what they wish for, especially those dogs and kitties that are wishing for a forever home.

To all our friends around the world, warm wishes for a very Merry Christmas.

Love always,

Bear and Rosy

The Carolers

Dear world,
Since it is almost Christmas, Rosy and Bunnybell thought it would be nice to be carolers. BunnyBell suggested they sing holiday songs about food and maybe they would get some. So BunnyBell started singing "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire... " Rosy said, but I don't like chestnuts. So then Bunny skipped a few verses of We wish you a Merry Christmas and sang " Please bring me some figgy pudding and bring it right now... Rosy said, but I dont like figs! So then Bunnybell sang"Its a Marshmallow World in the winter, when the snow comes to cover the ground, its the time for play, its a whipped cream day..." Rosy said, OK. I like to play and I like whipped cream. And so they sang Marshmallow World.

Love always,

Bear

Naughty Bunnybell

Dear world,

While Mom and Dad were out of the house earlier, I decided to take a nap. When I woke up I saw a ripped bag on the floor under the Christmas tree. Uh Oh. I looked at the card and saw that it was one of my Christmas presents from Santa! Then I heard a munching sound. There was Bunnybell eating my favorite treats! Guess who's going to be on Santa's naughty list, Bunnybell!

Love always,

Bear

Visit with Santa

Dear world,

The other day, Mom and Dad took us to PetSmart. To our surprise, we got to see Santa! Rosy settled in comfortably onto Santa's big lap. I don't know why Santa didn't allow me on his lap, he did last year. I guess people change. Anyway, Rosy asked Santa for (another) new bag. I told Santa I wanted to adopt my own animal and looked longingly in the direction of the chinchilla cage. As I turned around, I saw Mom's and Dad's eyes roll in unison.

Love always,

Bear

Elves again

Dear world,
Again, Rosy and I have become elves. This time our hats come with ears. I am not sure why we need another set of ears, especially such large ones. Maybe they are supposed to enable us to hear Santa summoning us to the North Pole to help make toys. Beam me up Santa.

Love always,

Bear

Snowman Bear

Dear world,
All the snow around the country reminds me of how I used to love to play in the snow when I lived in Memphis. So when I told Mom that I missed the snow, I thought it was a hint to take us on a trip to the Southern California mountains. I should have known better. So now I have become, Snowman Bear.

Love always,

Bear
