C

Have you taken your vitamin C(uddle) today?

I think it's very important for every family to have their own personal Cuddle Care Bear. My mummi and daddi enlisted me as our family's designated Care Bear.

College Advice from a Bear's Perspective

My Auntie is off to college, so I thought it would be prudent to send her advise to help her survive her first year.

Flies: If there is a fly in your room, run away as fast as you can and duck underneath your bed. Remember, if you're too big to fit underneath the bed, just make sure your head is under it.


Dietary Staple: Peanut Butter will sustain your life. It is THE BEST snack ever invented by God.

Fairies: Possibly the most important item you can pack for your college adventure is your fairy house (sometimes referred to as a laser pointer). Fairies make wonderful friends and are vastly entertaining, as you well know.

Study vs. Cuddle Time: There's just got to be a healthy balance. You know, I'm all about spending the necessary hours studying to become a smarter bear, but cuddle time must be a top priority for a happy and fulfilled life. Trust me.

Always Travel in a Pack: Whenever you go anywhere, remember to take along a friend, because it's always safer to travel in a pack - everybody knows this, but it doesn't hurt to be reminded.

Madison's Healthy Routine Recommendation (based on experience): Wake up, cuddle, eat breakfast, take a nap, chase ball, take another nap, eat lunch, study, cuddle, go to class, take a nap, lick peanut butter out of Kong toy, eat dinner, cuddle, eat milk-bone and go to bed.

Valiant's college tips:

If you get sick and have to go to the vet, make sure you bite them if they try to take your temp - that's just un-called for!

If your room-mate starts to get on your last nerve, take her favorite pair(s) of shoes and chew them up. That will make your point and she won't mess with you again!

Remember, if you need to bark, and it's after hours, barking through your nose doesn't count. You can "oof" all night and no one can tell you otherwise (advice based on experience).

Missing Valiant

This is a documentary of Valiant's near drowning experience while jumping in to "rescue" auntie. Cousin Darcy submerged Valiant, then kept swimming over the top of her so she wasn't able to come up for air. Luckily Auntie was able to find her 2 feet under the water and pull her to the surface (Auntie is my hero!). Valiant "bearly" made it! Actually, she was fine and even challenged me to a swimming dual (which, of course, I won) the next afternoon.

Pose

I think this is a really good pose for me, because it shows how tall and slender I am. See how my tail is almost as long as my lovely, shapely legs? I mean, my legs are at least 4 inches long!

Anyway, pose or no pose, it's my favorite way to rest because it stretches my muscles and gets oxygen to the brain. There should never be so much to get done in life that you don't have time for relaxation and pondering (about fairies).
