All Ears



This morning I accompanied one of the little girls G to the doctor. I know. Eating Mexican food like my sister Mabel has been doing in Albuquerque sounds a lot more fun. But the secret to a good life is dancing in the rain so I made the best of it.

First, we sat and waited. There were some interesting pictures on the walls--I think they were of human ears. Bear ears are much more sturdy and less likely to breakdown. We Teddy Bears are special that way.

Then, I sat in the "special" chair. There sure were a lot of instruments and buttons--and not the fun buttons like are on my legs either. You can see that G's bear Bear came with us. Bear says her job is to distract the doctor so that G can run away. I asked if it worked. Bear said it didn't but she kept trying.

Then, G went in to get her ears cleaned while I played with the fax machine. Hey, my ears didn't need to be cleaned. And I'm not scared either.

Afterwards, it was time for a treat! This doctor doesn't give silly stickers. No, it's full fledged sugar. Wahoo! I only helped myself to one two.

And now I'm back home for a full afternoon of cuddling, naps and reading. We might even get to go outside to play in the leaves if it doesn't rain!!!! Not too bad for day two at the Commune.

Hi Everyone!!!



Boy have I had an adventure! I used to live in Ohio at The Craggy Moor with some great people. Last week I learned that I, Barnaby Bearhardt, had been selected for a position at the world famous Beary Heart Bear Commune! Can you imagine!!!!

I just arrived today. Wow! There are some really great bears here: Inspector Baffle of the Softie Division of Interface, Inspector Alex Bear of Scotbear Yard, Stockton--world famous hot chocolator, Josie--who owns a yarn shop, Mott--a hospital administrator at Mott's Children's Hospital...and....and....I'm sure I'm missing a few more. It's great! This is a terrific place.

As soon as I got here I asked about seeing my sister's blog. Mabel just moved to the New Mexico. That got us all thinking about having Mexican food for dinner. And then we got thinking about how we could have a blog. So here is the first page of our blog. We'll all try to share stories and adventures.

Ooops! Dinner is ready. Got to scoot. See you all soon!
