Sad news

We have some sad news to share. Our beary good friend of 23 years, Sunny the cockatiel, passed away last week.

She was a beary smart bird, even helping me learn how to code computers.

 This is me feeding Sunny some of her favorite foods, rice and corn!

This is Sunny playing with her favorite toy.

Sunny liked to take baths in the sink.

We will miss our friend Sunny beary much. She was such a beautiful bird and a great friend. Thank you Sunny, we will always love you.

More Stuffie Olympics

Hey everyone, we are back bringing you some more live 2016 Stuffie Olympics coverage! What do you think of all the events so far? Don't forget to enter the Stuffie Olympics contest here. Entries must be received by August 21, 2016, 11:59 pm EST.

Uncle Tibbs is participating in this next event - JUDO! He has been trained extensively in many martial arts by his mom, sweet and kind Mrs. Tibbs. I guess looks are beary deceiving - I would never have guessed that she is a martial arts master, would you?

"Any thoughts on the competition today, Uncle Tibbs?"

"HI MOM!!!"

And after judo, Uncle Tibbs will also be sparring in the taekwondo event. Go Uncle Tibbs!

Alright, let's move on to one of my favorite events... gymnastics! I have been working hard on my floor exercise. Will I be able to impress the judges? I have a double twisting Yurchenko planned in my tumbling run...

... as well as my eponymous move "the Adilovic", which is a quadruple backflip, quadruple twisting combination straight into a double punch front.

I just have to stick the landing... STICK!

(Did you know that honey on your paws helps to stick the landing?)

Let's see what the judges have to say. A 10 from Ooogie, a 10 from Miss Feathers, and a 9.9 from Parker.

"Woof!"

Parker says he deducted a tenth of a point because I did not complete the skill while holding a piece of steak.

Wow, there have been so many exciting events going on left and right at these games!

Oh, look! Here comes Ooogie, who is headed back to the swimming pool were he continues to dominate the races and break world records with his crushing speed!

"Well, as soon as he gets into the water."

"Wiiiiish meeeeee luuuuuck."

"Good luck Ooogie!"

Okay, let's see how sailing is going!

"ARRRR MATEY!!!"

"Arrrrr Captain!"

And now for some basketball!

What's your favorite Olympic event?

Mail

We're taking a quick break from the Stuffie National Convention (Ooogie is still reading the roll call) to update you on some cool postcards we received!

The first postcard is from Fritzel Ranßweiler  of Germany! Fritzel was lounging around on his beautiful patio. Thank you Fritzel, or should I say, danke!

Next is a postcard from Sandy and Jerry and Ben! Jerry and Ben were visiting Sandy recently, and it sounds like they had a blast in Sandy's garden and going to Vancouver Island! Thanks guys!

The last postcard is also from Sandy. Hmm... Manitoba, Canada! There are lots of bison on this postcard, but Sandy said he didn't see any on this trip. Will we see anyone ride bison in the Stuffie Olympics?

Thanks everyone for the postcards. Have a beary good day!

Stuffie National Convention

Oh hello there! I'm setting up the stage for the Stuffie National Convention, or SNC. It starts this week!

As you probably know by now, I am running for President. The major political conventions have already passed, but the SNC will be the best one yet!

There, the stage looks great! One thing is for sure, I am the only Presidential candidate who sets up his or her own convention stage. If you can do it yourself, why not roll up your sleeves and get it done?

Now we just have to wait for all the delegates to arrive.

"Hello!"

"Hello hello!"

"Hello hello hello!"

"HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO!"

Wow, what a crowd! I can definitely feel the energy and excitement in this room!

Now we are going to do the roll call of states. I wonder who is in charge of that.

"Greeeeeeetiingssss deeeeleeegaaatesss."

Ooogie is doing the roll call vote.

"Aaaaalaaaaaabaaaaaaaamaaaaaa." 

"The great state of Alabama gives 50 stuffie delegates to Ajdin Adilovic!"

"Fiiiiffftyyyyyyyy stufffffffiee deeeeleeeeeeegaaateessss toooo Ajjjddiiiiiin Adiiiiiilooooooovic. Aaaaalaaaaaaaassssskaaaaaaaa."

"The great state of Alaska gives 28 stuffie delegates to Ajdin Adilovic!"

"Tweeeeeeeentyyyyy eiiiiiiiight stuuuuuuufieeeee deeeeeeleeeegaaaatesssss toooo Aaaaaajdiiiiin Aaaaaadiiiiilooooooviiiiiic."

Hey, I have a feeling this is going to take a beary long time. So I'm going to do what any reasonable stuffie would do...

... I'm going to take a nap!

Wake me up when it's my turn!

"Arrrrriiiiiiizzoooooonaaaaa..."
