Hey Friends,

I haven't had any time for reading. I've been shopping. My paws are worn off. I'm staying in Victoria on Vancouver island, and it's very nice here. There's no snow and this hotel has all the conveniences of home including internet access. What more could a bear want? I bet you wonder what's in the bag. I'm not telling.

Judy Sierra has some great animal books. She also wrote "What time is it Mr. Crocodile?"  Follow my link to see her web page.  I bet she doesn't get her Calanders and clocks muddled up!

I really like this shot of me. I,  know, I hear you say it, I'm pretty  handsome with my red ribbon. Wild bears wish for ribbons all the time you know. It's blowing snow in huge drifts outside the door and we are almost holed in. I checked  the time all day long, I just sat here waiting for spring. When Bruce came home from work he said I was a silly bear because I need a calendar and not a clock.....what does he know ... How RUDE ...I'm still waiting for spring, so there!

Hello Friends,

I think I have short term memory loss. I didn't want to believe it; but now I do. Today I forgot where my bedroom is. Since I live here almost 24/7 that's pretty shabby!  (I got lost coming out of the bathroom.)  What's a bear to do? Another great Canadian author that you're gonna love is Maxine Trottier. I love her historical fiction stories, and she has so many other great books. Check out her web page while you're here. Till next time....don't forget I'm here....now... how do I log off.....I've forgotten.

Matteus and I have been having a readers round table discussion (without the table) He said he likes author Eric Carle. That's because I read him a story called Have You Seen my Cat.

Matteus thinks I should phone Eric and ask him to write a story called have you seen my bear.(Matteus thinks I'm his bear....confused muddled feline).

It snowed today, burrrr,  so I snuggled up at home with a good book. Winter is a beary good season for reading. Here's me by the fire, with my book. This winter I plan to discover lots of Canadian authors, Here's one; David Bouchard. He's a great Canadian author. The title is Prairie Born. In this book David say's  how glorious the prarie's are, who's he trying to kid? although I know you'll like his books. Question.....what do you call a tree in Saskatchewan?  Answer....a telephone pole. Haha

Gosh I'm funny, is anyone laughing....no?

 then I'll get back to my book....(hummm that joke bombed.)

|

I'm feeling much better now, see? I can even stand on my head--it's a topsy turvy world today. I just finished reading  a book written by Jan Brett. She is one of my favorite authors. Jan Brett has some stories about BEARS. You can click on her name on my blog to visit her web page. See you later--right side up.

I'm feeling under the weather today. I think I have H2/N2 Do you know what that is? It's bear flu. I knew I should have had that flu shot but I'm scared of needles. Will somebody please read me a story?

You might be wondering why I am not hibernating. Most bears do, you know. I am known as a residential bear. That means that I live in a house with my family so I don’t need to snore growly rumbles all winter long in a nasty damp cave. Winters can seem rather long and dark for a bear that should be sleeping so mostly I like to pass my time reading. I love to read books. Do you? Reading takes lots of practice. Just keep on trying, you’ll see....you’ll get better and better and better......

Ps....There’s another good thing about staying awake all winter. I can check out the Fridge whenever I want.

I'm a short bear. I admit it. Not very tall at all. "you're short," people would tell me. (how RUDE) I used to sit with my legs crossed like this, because I was sure my legs would grow longer. Then I tried shoes. Whoever invented shoes should have his toes cut off. They're most uncomfortable. I really can't see the point in them except for the big clumpy heels that made me appear taller. Oh yes, my kiss boots.... (until I took them off) Then someone would say ohhh PJ  you're so short. (how'd they like it if I said they were  ugly or skinny or fat. Sadly, I doubt I'll grow any more now. I have to live with the view at this height. It was hard to get used to the idea but I'm okay with it now. I can reach the fridge.

I woke up this morning and was alarmed to find I had an in-grown toenail. I was very worried. It was causing me a lot of anxiety so I finally had to confide in someone. I told BRUCE. He said, bears like me don't have toenails so I needn't worry. What a Relief! It seems to me that I can worry about a lot of things. Things that I think are important at the time, but usually everything turns out to be okay in the end. I hope you don't worry needlessly. That's all I can think of now...I have writers block.

These are my two friends. Harley is black and he purrs just like a motor bike. Matteus is grey and he likes to sleep with me while I watch TV. Do you have any furry friends? I'm furry myself, so if you don't have any furry friends, then I'll be your friend.

Hello World, my name is Pj and I'm a bear. Just an ordinary, brown bear, quite plain looking, but I do have a red ribbon around my neck which adds a bit of Pizzaz.
