Three Amigos

Dear world,
The other day at the beach I met Koda and Lulu. We played for an hour and became best buds. So I thought since we were so near Mexico, we should call ourselves the Three Amigos. Lulu pointed out that she is an Amiga, not an Amigo. Ugh. Girls are so picky. I wonder what else I can call us ... Three Dog Day? Three Fetcheteers?  Snap, Crackle Pop? Do you have any ideas?

Love always,

Present shopping

Dear world,
For Sisters Day, we went shopping so I could get Rosy and Annie a present. Annie picked out a toy fox that made growling noises. Rosy immediately went to the bag aisle and selected a pink bag. I told her I cant afford to buy her a bag. I felt so bad. She said it was ok, she will just put it on her wish list. So she picked out a new purple toy that she can pull the stuffing out of.  She was very happy.

Love always,

Sisters Day

Dear world,
Today is Sisters Day, so I want to focus on my sisters. Rosy, the toy poodle is my Princess sister, and as royalty, she likes to rule the house (or at least try). Princess Rosy insists that Annie is her dog, but I assure Annie that she is my forever sister. I think sometimes they team up on me. Rosy chases my ball and often gets it. Annie then takes it and puts it with the rest of her hoarding collection. But most of the time, they are both just adorable (I hear Mom say that a lot.) And while I miss my brothers Oliver and Fuzz, I really do love my little girls.

Happy Sisters Day!

Love always,

Bear

Scenic Nap

Dear world,
My favorite park is Seagrove Park in Del Mar which I go to almost everyday. Tourists and locals love to enjoy and take pictures of the beautiful view. So the other day, while Mom was trying to get the perfect angle to take the picture, I decided to lay down and roll. Mom freaked and yelled Stop! at which point I realized that I could have rolled off the cliff. So instead I took a nap.

Love always,

Bear

Beach lesson

Dear world, 
Yesterday at the beach, Annie finally decided to come into the ocean and play ball. I tried to give her tips and show her how to do things. But she said she could do it herself. So the next thing I knew, I looked over and a wave was coming. I barked "Annie, JUMP!" But of course she didn't listen. She just automatically learned to be (body) surfer Annie.

Love always,

Bear

The Caring Tree

Dear world,
At my favorite park, there was this very beautiful tree.  Kids were always playing on it. Then the other day a sign was on the tree. The tree asked for no climbing because it was fragile, tender and worn but it wanted to stay. I sat down and decided I will help protect it. But I had to leave to go home. The next day I came back, and it was no longer there. I was so sad. I guess it wasn't cared for back. But I cared. Thank you Caring Tree for as you say giving me your gift of strength and peace. I will always remember you.

Love always,

Bear

Bagpipe Appreciation

Dear world,
I just found out about Bagpipe Appreciation Day. I thought I should celebrate considering that Golden Retrievers have Scottish roots . Did you know that? In the 1700's in Scotland, dogs were needed that could retrieve from water and land so Golden Retrievers were born! I wish they taught them how to play bagpipes at that time, then I would have that in my DNA too. Uh, but then maybe I would have to wear a kilt, so never mind.

Love always,

Bear

Bearfish

Dear world,
Now that I am supposed to be having more greens in my diet, I have become totally obsessed with Seaweed snacks ! Annie thinks with my obsession with ocean swimming and now seaweed, maybe I becoming a Bearfish. Rosy said if that is the case, she would like me to introduce her to some tuna. 

Love always,

Bear

Just Because

Dear world,
The other day Mom decided to surprise us. We arrived at the park as usual. But instead of Mom and Dad sitting on the mat, Mom set up a picnic for me, Rosy and Annie! Freshly cooked turkey burgers just for us! We asked what the occasion was and she said "just because". Isn't that an awesome occasion?

Happy Just Because ! 

Love always,

Bear

Royal Baby Name

Dear world,
The Royal baby has arrived. How exciting! I am just so curious what his name will be. So I googled what people were guessing and these names are the favorites:.
James - means "supplanter". That makes sense if he replaces someone  - I guess maybe he will someday then become King James? And maybe he would be a real slick James like Bond.
George - means "farmer" . That's nice, he will be close with the land. Plus he could be handsome like Clooney or really big like Giant George (the world's largest dog).
Alexander - means "defender of people" - well that certainly makes sense for a Royal. So I guess he would need to aspire to be Alexander the Greater ?
Arthur is another name that is popular and that is my personal favorite. Do you know why? Cause it means Bear !!!  Wouldn't that be cool! Prince Arthur (Bear)  !

Congratulations to the Royal Parents and 

welcome His Royal Highness of Cambridge!

Love always,

Bear

Happy dog

Dear world,
I have a new routine now. Almost everyday we go to SeaGrove Park. When we get there, Mom throws the ball and I start to roll over it. I roll one way and see my wonderful ocean. I roll the other way and see the pretty sea grove trees and humans enjoying a beautiful day. At the same time I smell and get a massage by the deliciously green grass. And all the time I am thinking, I am a happy dog.

Love always,

Bear

Cookie Catch

Dear world,
The other day at the park I watched a Dad play catch with his daughter. So I asked Mom if we could play catch. She said sure. So she took out the bag with my chicken cookies, held one in her hand  and said "CATCH!" I love my Mom!

Love always,

Bear
