Miss Feathers flies south

"Oh, I'm going to miss this little house."

"Maybe someone will be able to enjoy it for the winter!"

"Miss Feathers, what are you doing?" I asked. "Why is there a FOR RENT sign on your house?"

"I'm flying south for the winter, Ajdin," she replied. "I listed it on Airbnb so perhaps someone will rent it out while I'm gone."

"Oh!" I was surprised.

"I have a timeshare in Florida," she said. "It will be so warm and sunny down there!"

"When will you be back?" I asked.

"In the spring, when the weather gets warmer here," she answered.

"We will miss you," I said. "I will miss you." I gave her a hug.

"See you soon!" she said, flapping her wings.

"Have a safe trip!" I called out.

Then she was gone.

Hmm, well that's a bummer.

But Miss Feathers will be back soon enough, right?

Spring isn't too far away... right?

Holiday wishes

I hope everyone had a Beary Merry Christmas! I was traveling and didn't have time to post some of the cool holiday cards that I got.

This first card I received has a fox on it... and it's from... Little Fox (that makes sense, doesn't it?) Thanks Little Fox!

I also got a card from Sprinkles the Traveling Bear. Also included was a cool sheet of stickers! Thanks Sprinkles!

Next, I got a card from Droopy. This card has a polar bear on it and also glitter! Thanks Droopy!

This other card is from Jerry & Ben. I like the sweater that this bear is wearing, very stylish. Thanks Jerry & Ben!

Our little Christmas tree is still up - we'll probably keep it up for a little while longer because it's so pretty! Thanks everyone, for the cards!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! SEE YOU IN 2019!

2018 Stuffie Winter Olympians

Hey everyone, the 2018 Stuffie Winter Olympics have come to a close! Let's take a look at some of the courageous stuffie Olympians who entered this year's contest!

First up is Sandy who bravely gave it his all in the SPRINGBOARD SNOW PILE DIVE. This is a new event to me, but looks like great fun! Sandy, are you okay?

Next is Droopy and friends with DOGSLEDDING. It looks like Droopy and Patch are leading the team, and Spunky and Grandpa are in the back. I especially like the blue and white snow landscape!

Jerry and Ben also entered the WINTER HIKING event! Here they are, all decked out in their winter gear - looking great, guys! This also seems like an event Little Fox would have liked to enter.

And next, we have Martin MurmelTier with the MARMOT CURLING TEAM. The judges love the straw handles on these handmade curling stones!

Okay, so the gold medal goes to... (drumroll please)...

First Snow!

When I woke up this morning, it was beary cold.  I went to the window and saw that it had snowed overnight.

"Look at all that snow!" I cheered happily.

"Look.  At.  All.  That.  Snow," Uncle Tibbs groaned.

I did a little dance, put on my hat, then went outside.

Uncle Tibbs put on his hat, grabbed a shovel, then also went outside.

After Uncle Tibbs finished shoveling the driveway, I asked if he would have a snowball fight with Spunky and I.

"Are you sure you want to have a snowball fight with me?" he asked.

"Yes!" we said.

Spunky and I prepared our snowballs.

Then we gave Uncle Tibbs our best shot.  He brushed the snow away then grinned.

"Okay, get ready guys," Uncle Tibbs said.  He scraped together snow with his huge paws.

When we realized how big Uncle Tibb's snowball was going to be, Spunky and I turned to run away.

"RUN!!" we said.

But it was too late.

WHOMP!!  Uncle Tibb's snowball knocked us over into the snow.  It was getting beary cold now and my fur was getting wet, so after the snowball fight, we went inside to dry off and sipped on some hot chocolate!

* First snow! *

I woke up this morning to a nice surprise - freshly fallen snow outside!  Yep, today is the first snow of the winter season.

I decided to go outside and see this snow for myself.  But first, I put on my hat that my aunt made for me.

Then I put on a scarf.  Oh.. I can't see anything...

There, that's better.  Now, despite the fact that I am not wearing any pants, I am now ready to go outside.

It was rather slushy by the time I ventured outside so I could not make a snowbear with this snow, but maybe next time!  Bundle up if you go outside!
