Well, yes, you're right. That IS the cutest thing I've ever seen. What a sweet thing that Bear is. And also a very hard worker.
ReplyDeleteTell him not to forget to get behind the ears.
Lucky Buddy Bear is my favorite "person" on your blog. He's such a good nurse. I wish we could borrow him for a little while so he could teach our collies how to care for our sheep. All they ever want to do is play with the lambs--not very useful.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteoh, wow, that's so sweet

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this lovely scene.
Reminds me of Peanut and "her" babies this winter. But she was cleaning poopy bottoms and messy faces - I doubt if she'd want to dry them when they are grown! He is a sweet dog - you are so lucky to have him and he is so lucky to have you!
ReplyDeleteBear is a total prince - animals just never cease to amaze me. When I don't feel well, my shih tzu jumps to the top of the couch like a cat and actually pats me on the shoulder. How you got that shot of bear is amazing!!! I love it.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion you are a very gifted and talented writer. You start to screen your thoughts, decide not to, and write about how you were going to.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you find the time to write so much with all the work that you do.
I'm touched by your stories. You are truly amazing; and I wish I could pitch in and help you with your work and repairs.
