Well, now hibearnation is in full swing and those of us in the house who don't hibernate are starting to get awfully tired of winter. Here in Virginia, we've only had one snowfall this year and it barely dumped any snow before dumping a few inches of ice on top of it. No sledding or playing in the snow for us! We had a few days of really nice weather this week and I wanted to go outside and play, but Holly's been working really hard this week and has been getting home too late to take us outside. I'm already starting to plan for spring and am hoping that we can go visit Clarke's farm again now that all the Enchanted Forest stuff is there, I had a lot of fun there the last time, so it would be good to go again.

Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since I updated my bearlog, but I am back in action! I've been working hard to prepare for Thanksgiving and our annual hibearnation here. I've also been tasked with taking care of Holly who has whooping cough! It's very bizarre and she hasn't been feeling well for weeks, but I'm on the job and hope that she'll be better by Thanksgiving because there are going to be lots of yummy treats--sweet potatoes, pie, roast duck (?), and of course, Holly is really good about adding a dash of honey to the sweet potatoes because she knows how much us bears love it!

Happy Earth Day everyone! I'm here with a very special message from the rest of the bears around here. We would like to remind people to treat wildlife will proper respect and to take care of the wildlife that is out there. Many of our bear cousins out in the wild are endangered now because of humans encroaching on their habitat. There are a few organizations that are trying to save our wild cousins and one of them is Vital Ground which was founded by the Seuss family in memory of their friend, Bart the Bear. I encourage everyone on this Earth Day to go out there and do something to appreciate bears!

Well, it is finally starting to feel like spring around here! My mom and I looked at the forecast and it looks like rain showers for most of the rest of this week so us bears will have to stay home and maybe bake some cookies. I helped my mommy bake a batch of cupcakes for one of her co-workers yesterday and despite getting frosting on my fur, I think they came out pretty good. I think until spring, I'm going to hide back in the covers and wait until it warms up. Or until it's time for Busch Gardens!!!

Well, we had a very nice Valentine's Day around here even though I didn't get to see my girlfriend. She did send me a beary e-card so that's all right. I spent most of the night with Mommy and Daddy and then curling up in my knitted blankie and getting some much needed rest. Mommy has a cold right now so I've had to take care of her, but that's ok, that's what bears are best at!

Now that Valentine's Day is over, I guess I'll have to start cleaning up the cobwebs in my den and getting things ready for spring. Mommy is anxious for spring to get here because she says I'm going to help her out in the yard this year! I'm a little scared though because there are so many bugs out there, but she said that we'll go out early before it gets really buggy out there and I can help plant some flowers. She said she'll even give me my own plot of land that I can plant any kind of flower or veggie that I want out back! I'm really excited, although I know it'll be a lot of work. So, I'm trying to plan what I'm going to plant back there. It's very exciting. Now, if spring would hurry up and get here! :)

Wow, hibearnation lasted much longer than I thought it would! Well, it was a good nap in any case and it has given my mommy some needed rest too, she is always way too busy! I keep telling her that she shouldn't work so hard and she should spend more time with her bears, but you know how humans are. Anyway, I am now getting ready for Valentine's Day with my sweetie and it's almost Girl Scout cookie time, so I'm looking forward to those yummy cookies!

Bad news here, my Mommy and Daddy got in a fender bender on their way into work this morning. They slid on some black ice and bumped into someone! Yikes. So, I'm home taking care of my Mommy because she isn't feeling too good after the accident. At least the snow outside looks pretty, even if it hurt people.

Boy have we been busy preparing for Thanksgiving! My mommy has been making chocolates and we picked up a yummy pumpkin pie from Mom's Apple Pie Company on Monday night and I think we are all set for the holiday. I've also found a new friend in Marshmallow Bear who was rescued from Borders last Friday. He's a very likeable bear and I think he'll fit in very nicely around here. He's still a little shy, being a new stuffie and all, but he's really getting to be quite a character around here. He's been helping out a lot with taking care of Mommy and Daddy while they've been trying to shake a nasty cold and he promises that he'll help me put up the winter village this weekend. Who would know better about a winter village than a snow bear? :)

First post! My mommy has made me my very own weblog so that I can share some of my beary thoughts with the world! Please feel free to send me an email and let me know what you think of my website!
