You might think of it as my email address, my handle... my rapper name. But I'm known in these parts as Bleu-Dot-Bear.


Uh huh, huh. Uh, huh... B-Dot-Bear, for short!

Every fierce boy needs a cool rapper name... and I sure have mine!

[After all, what does my brother Luke have going for him? His real name is 'Cool Hand Luke' but he goes, these days, by Lukey Luke and LuLu... how fierce is that?]

Besides ferocity and a love for picnic foods, I also have the hibernation thing going for me!

---Bleu Dot Bear, signing out!

A White Day!

Ok... it was a semi-white day! And unlike someone else who lives in this house... I didn't mind dilly-dallying in the yard as the snow was falling!

I'm not real sure what this is... but it tastes like water when you lick it! ... And you know how I love water!

Mom asked me to sit for a photo... And look! I've got a snow flake on my nose!

Next I laid down to make snow angels! ... Or maybe pecan angels... I forget which!

Later in the afternoon after it stopped snowing, brave boy Luke joined me in the yard to sniff around and do some businesses.
Our yard is mostly shaded by 60 year old very tall trees, so our only accumulation was spotty.

It was pretty exciting when it was falling, because we were all hoping it would keep coming down... but alas, it did not. It was a nice afternoon, though... and I can't wait until next time!

Please to let us have snow again???!

How much did we get? Well, I don't know how to measure snow... but there was about an inch on the fence. (I know it's not much... but please don't say anything to Mom. She's delusional about our big snow day!)!

Surprise For Me???!!!

First, let me say that when I hopped into the CRV yesterday... I didn't have A SINGLE inkling that this wonderful weekend getaway was in store! But now there's a party???!!!

Can someone please keep an eye on my brother? I mean, I love him... but he's looking hungry... and a little intense!

Chin rubs from my Aunt Madison... I love better than presents or cookies... but this evening includes them all! And there is singing... and Uncle Tom has a video camera...

And honestly, I am a little stunned... "All of this for me???!" I mean, I know I complained just a little about how Luke got a big party... and I "celebrated" at home with just my Mom and brother (how embarassing!)... but not in my wildest dreams did I think I would be treated to a weekend in Wimberley with the Herd... much less have any other sort of celebration!

Why... this is proberbial cherry on top of double strawberry shake wif the real whip cream... so good you fink you might just be dreamin!

Part of my awesome surprise is a wonderful gift from Aunt Karen, Uncle Craig and Cousins Rizzi and Zeke! I more than ANY thing wish they were here with me... but in their place they sent a rumblin bleu pig, a extremely cute long legged bird and tasty TASTY treats!!!

[In my sweet package there is a jigsaw puzzle... which is foreshadowin of my next big vacation! This puzzle is "one hundred dogs and a cat"... and I can't wait!]

And from The Herd, I received a cute card, a big stuffed squeaky bone... some healthy ener-g stuff what my the Mom loves (so she can keep up with me)... and attention galore!

Cousin Porter love her gift to me so much... she sneak back in my bedroom to steal it back!!!

And I do not protest, because... bless her heart... Porter has been THE object of my affection this entire weekend!!!

To her credit, I have overtly tried and tested the Porter... and she has been congenial to most every thing that included my shnoz, but she did the draw the line this afternoon with an ear inspection!

Peace.

Peace is having lots of Goldens around, all toys out of reach, cool evening airs, sweet sounds echoing through the trees....

Peace.

Here With My Herd!

Yes, I am! And I'm happy Happy HAPPY!!!

This is just about the best surprise EVER!!!

I LOVE my Aunt Madison, Uncle Tom... who were Mom and Dad to me for nine months... and then there's The Herd, who were my brothers and sisters!!!

I was really depressed about my birthday celebration... but Mom and Luke have really come through for me! This is just one aunt and two cousins short of a perfect weekend!!!

YAY!!! We're here!!!

Happy Birthday to me... here in the Hill Country!!!
