Stuffie Mail and a Special Visitor!

 We had a beary special visitor this holiday season!!!

Can you guess who it was??

She brought a gift... just for me!!!!

Ooh, a tin!! Tins are always good!

Oh, but there's something inside the tin!

It's a pin!! From Greece!

It's upside down in the photo but... it's great!!!

Thanks Rose!!!!

I also got some holiday mail!

This card is from Little Fox!

Oooh, he's hoping we get lots of hiking, honey and salmon in 2026...

That's a beary thoughtful wish!!

And I got another card!

Wishing me peace in my little corner of the world...

It's from Jerry & Ben!

Thanks guys!

Now... Rose is here, so we shared some of our stickers with her...

Cause we have a LOT of stickers...

As the winners of the Art Deco contest know!

We also met a new stuffie!! Rose got this little guy when she was in London. He is Pudge the Pigeon...

Yes, seriously... that is his name. I kept calling him Pidge and Rose said "NO! It's Pudge"!

Nice to meet you Pudge!

He's really a very friendly Pudgeon... er... Pidgeon... um... Pigeon!

And yes... in case you were wondering... we did have salmon over the holidays! Caught in a back aisle at Costco!

Yum!!! Salmon!!!

A Beary Merry Christmas!!

Wishing all my stuffie pals a beary Merry Chrismtas! And yes!! This year we went with a stuffie tree!

 

Christmas in Vancouver

Merry Christmas!!! This was a weird Christmas... we celebrated it in a hotel in Vancouver, the day after arriving back from Mexico... 

The hotel had a fancy Christmas display... but no Santa!

It also had... **gasp** a Starbucks in the lobby!!! That, of course, played absolutely no role in choosing this particular hotel (heh-heh).

I should have brought my Santa outfit... I could have been Santa!

Ah well... I am also a bit under-dressed but...

It's only fake snow here!

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas...

Mexico Bound!

 Hullo!!! Guess what... we are going on vacation!! Yep...

To Mexico!!! And yes... in December...

Lots has been going on... we'll talk later...

Alright... first... get packed...

And... we are driving over to Vancouver!!!

Taking the ferry!! This is exciting!!!

I can literally count on two paws the number of times we have taken the car on the ferry to the mainland.

Right... and we are on the ferry... now we just need to remember... what deck and what staircase...

Hah! We saw this sign and thought... yep.. that's us!

Although it is sunny... it is still December and a bit brisk! Especially on the shady side of the ferry...

Let's go around to the sunny side...

That's a bit better!

Bye!!!

OK... now this was a weird thing... an upside down Christmas tree... stuck to the ceiling? I guess it won't tip over if it gets choppy but... it's a bit weird!

We are getting close to Horseshoe Bay!!

Can you guess who we might see in Vancouver??

Yep... it's Rose!!!

Their tree is a stuffie dream!

Lot's of little wildlife animals on the tree... a racoon...

An otter...

A mouse...

A bear! Of course...

A squirrel...

A fox...

And a rabbit... to name, just a few!

Oh, Hi kitties!!! 

Luna is friendly... Phoenix less so...

But we didn't stay at Rose's... but headed for a hotel near the airport because we have a beary early start tomorrow!
