Winter Bear, Summer Bear

winter and summer

The Mama and the Daddy took me to get a trim last week. When the Daddy was looking through old pictures of me, he found one where I still had my long fur in the snow.

The Daddy says that both pictures were taken in Arizona less than two hundred miles apart. One in Flagstaff snow and the other on my new yard last week. Click me to make me big.

Jack Loves Arizona

We’re on our way back to California today. While we were en-route, I took several photos of the antenna ball on our SUV. Every time I snapped a photo, Jack was smiling. I guess Jack loves Arizona.

My New Yard

The Mama and the Daddy took me to my new yard today. My new house is not there yet but I saw some lizards and a kangaroo rat to chase. Maybe I’ll catch one sometime.

The Big Day Tomorrow

After I get the stitches out, I will get a bath and fur trim. I’m getting a trim again because the hoomins are going to take me to the new house place where it’s hot. My long fur is OK when we go to the snow but not so much when it’s hot.

This is a picture of me that the Mama took when we were in the picnic place near the new house place. Click me to make me big. OK – nap time – ‘bye!

The Bear Grass

We thought that if we installed some sod over the bare dirt that it would be less of a health hazard for Bear. So, last week we went to Lowe’s and bought enough sod to cover the dog run. Verna does her best to keep it green and we both make sure that messes are promptly cleaned up. Bear seems to like it better too.

Bear Report

It has been over a week since I had surgery on my tummy. The vet lady called to tell us there wasn’t any cancer and that I am going to be OK. Next week, I get my stitches out and then I get a bath and trim.

The Daddy says we’re going to go on another trip in the SUV. I like to go with the hoomins to where they will build my new house. Click on my picture to make me big.
