Rainbow of polar bears

Look at this parade of brightly colored polar bears.

This polar bear turned pink after rubbing on a red Christmas gift box.

This polar bear looks orange due to the light from the setting sun.

Baby and momma polar bear look slightly yellow due to the way the light is hitting them.

This polar bear has algae growing on its fur, turning it green.

This bear was painted blue by its zoo keepers as part of bear awareness week.

This polar bear turned purple after it was treated with medication for a skin condition.

Only in Alaska

Bears in Alaska do some crazy things, like play on  playground equipment and trying to eat your dog. Well, they also walk all over the produce in the grocery store.

Bear Beard

I really am digging the concept of this shirt.

The Beaufort Diaries

I recently read a book named The Beaufort Diaries where the main character was a bear. Perfect, right? They made a short film based on the book, shown below. If you are interested in the book review, you can visit my other blog (click here).

I grew up reading these books. Enjoy their theme song.

Happy Bearday Marines!!!

Some of my husband's dearest friends are either currently serving or have served in the Marines. Today is the Marine Corps birthday, so I thought I would have a bear just for them.

Honey, I shrunk the teddy bears!!!

How small do you think teddy bears can get? The answer is really freaking small.

You're cute

Can't we all just get along??

It's Friday, which means the weekend is upon us. We can be happy the work week is over and live in harmony with everyone, much like these polar bears and dogs. Actually, the white dog in the end looks like its on its way to being violated.

You will like the teddy bear I give you!!

Well, I'm going to sound like an old curmudgeon, but what's the deal with Build-a-Bear. Back in my day, you were given a teddy bear for a birthday or Christmas present, and that was it, that was your teddy bear. You didn't go to some fancy store and pick out your own bear, let alone outfits for you bear. And you didn't place a plastic heart inside. Kids these days think they need hipster teddy bears. I still have my teddy bear that I got when I was two, and he is as naked as the day the toy manufacturer made him. That's my rant.

Right, it's a "Peace Pipe"

Remember these?

Oh, Teddy Grahams. I remember being fed these tasty little treats in bear form to placate my hunger as a young child. I might have to pick myself up a box.
