More Mail and... Cremains...

Hello... it is I, Bär again. We've gotten some more mail. This one is from Jerry & Ben (I love their return address label!).

 Aww... it's a condolence card...

It's from Jerry and Ben and Sandy... oh, and Jake and Boo, as well... They all sent big hugs, which we certainly can use.

Spooky... such a handsome cat...

We also got the ashes/cremains from the vet. She's sitting in front of the fireplace with Grampa's ashes for now...

Sad News - Spooky

We interrupt the regularly scheduled programming to bring you some sad news. Spooky, our cat, has not been doing well since mid-May. Developed a cough that kept getting worse... vet thought it might be asthma but the corticosteroid shot didn't do much... and the coughing got worse. So it was likely a tumour.

Spooky has been with us (well... with Mama) since 2002... They were just 8 weeks old when we got them...

They came from the animal shelter and were covered in fleas!!

But they washed up OK...

Spooky even tolerated Rusty!

But they did get into trouble... even Spooky... her she is helping herself to a new bag of cat food...

 And swinging from the hanging lamps... baby cat...

She was such a cute kitten...

We had to put Rascal down two years ago and... hard as it was... we had to make the same decision with Spooky. She wasn't eating or drinking anymore and the coughing was getting very, very bad.

 Goodbye beautiful Spooky... I am dispensing lots of tissues to the humans these days...

Catching up on Mail

Uh, hello... Bär here... I know, I have not been keeping the human in line with blog posting but... honestly... I don't know how Sandy does it!! Alright... let's start with some mail...

This card came a few weeks ago... it's from Piebury Corner - mmm... meat pies... they sound yummy.

The card was from Beanie Mouse and Andrea... do you remember that a group of mice is called a Mischief of Mice? I wonder why that is?? Maybe a Sleuth of Bears could figure that out!

And... I don't know if you remember (it's been so long) but... Jerry and Ben had sent a case for Sherlock Sandy and I, Watson Bär was put onto the case... well, I got a bit distracted... although readers of this blog sent in some good clues...

You see... Jerry & Ben have this super-cute return address label... and Sandy doesn't have anything so I did some sleuthing (even a solitary bear can do that)...

And... voila!!! Sandy has his own address labels!! I think he will be beary pleased with that when he comes home. It took a bit of fiddling with the colours but... I think red is a bear good colour... red and white actually...

Cause it matches the colours of the Canadian flag!!! Oh... and my Berlin sash as well... isn't that a happy coincidence!

So... there are LOTS of return address labels...

Which I put to good use by using to send cards to all Sandy's stuffie pals... whew... it's tough being a fill-in for Sandy. I had no idea how much he actually took on!

And our little stuffie committee meeting didn't really handle even half of what Sandy does... we needed a Dr Sandy MD last week (Mama has road burn on the heel of her hand)...

and Dr Sandy DVM too because Spooky has not been doing well. She is hyperthyroid and has also been having asthma attacks which are not nice. We've all been beary sad lately but she got a corticosteroid shot today and we're keeping paws/claws/fingers crossed that she'll perk up... It's been a rough year already what with Grampa and then Sassy cat (Rose's cat) going...

Alright then... Bär signing off for now!
