Hullos! Some of us Forest Bears are heading to St Louis next week for a Sneechmas together! I hear there's gonna be a mini tree and some good foodstuffs and there's even talk of homemade cookies?? This will set a new record for us Forest Bears since this will be Trip #6 this year to St Louis! Can't ...

Wow! Gilcrest sent me a great letter in the mail, warning me to steer clear of Moana 2 and letting me know that he wanted to hang more ornaments on the tree.

He also included this very elegant selfie:



I'm so glad to be friends with Gilcrest!

Hullo cat friends! For years there has been a fuzzy black cat who lives in the Horse Barn in Forest Park and who sometimes can be spotted on a very special night by those walking past with a sharp eye. Schlop has spotted this cat a few times in years past, and Dave spots him regularly. But two night...

Just less than 48 hours ago, Sneeches and Dave managed to throw down the BEST SUNDAY PUZZLE TIME yet accomplished by us bears! They completed the puzzle "Breakout Performance" with a time of 16:49. This was mostly due to Dave's encyclopedic knowledge of The Shawshank Redemption and how to ...

Hullos! Oh my hoo hoo, I am so so late to post this post which I've been thinking about posting for many moons. Sometime during the dark depths of the Pandemic, Lee and I found this band on Nibstagram that we thought was pretty funny called The Toxhards. They are some guys from LA who are actually q...

All of us bears are wishing Ash a very Happy 9th Birthday!! https://i.imgur.com/rsq6DxJ.jpeg It's been a big year for Ash as he readjusted to life back in the States, navigated some close deaths (Lee from The Cloud Factory), handled all the difficult Neil news, and moved to Boston to begin a new sch...

Wow wow wow! Apparently at the D23 conference this week it was announced that they are making The Greatest Showman into a stage musical! Now everyone is guessing who will get cast. The important thing is that the music lives on and gets to reach more people and bears! Lee and I still listen to this ...

We are currently reading SCHLOPBORN: THE FINAL EMPIRE (Book 1) with Gulliver! We hear something exciting happens on Chapter 14 but we are still on Chapter 13. Just for fun I want to throw down some of my predictions in case they come true later and I can be puffed: * Predict: Vin's brother will retu...

I've been loving these Gulliver reviews of Muny shows! Here's a photo of our rain-delayed Little Mermaid experience. The audience really came prepared! https://i.imgur.com/Al2IvpL.jpeg Tonight is the opening of Fiddler on the Roof and word on the street is that "Far From the Home I Love" i...

We made it back to catch some of Les Nibs for a 3rd night in a row last night! We took our time watching Dune Part One for a bit and then meandered over. Luckily we got there right in time to see Fontine die and the Duel song- which we were hoping for. We skedaddled right as Jean Valjean met Cosette...

Lee and I have decided to get really into baseball in 2024! We spent the Spring going to lots of Golden Bears games and even doing some baseball-scorebook keeping. We have been listening to almost every Giants game on the radio! And last night we went to the Opening Night of the new Oakland minor le...

Big breaking McFlurry news, bears!

This week McDonalds launched a NEW FLAVOR.

It is called a Grandma McFlurry.

Duddles hopes this means someone will read to you about the adventures of Cathy and Chris in the Secret Attic while you eat one, hoo hoo.

Bears excited to try it one day!

Oh yeah, here's another thing I see Lee do in her mahd wyry phases. She likes to get little applesauce cups at the store and then if she can't sleep, she'll eat one in the middle of the night. This spikes her blood sugar for 10 minutes or so and then she has a blood sugar crash and that pulls her in...

Hullos!

Bears enjoy sleep and naps of all kinds in all kind of blankets and nap spots.

From time to time bears come across tips for better sleeps and we can share them here!

I get my best zzz's when I'm in Lee's backpack being carried along a trail somewhere. The bouncing really does the trick.

Good news, bear friends! The birthday gift for David that was promised to be delivered on May 6th and then got stuck in a San Francisco distribution center for a week finally made its way to St Louis and into Peaches' paws! It arrived on May 12th- 6 days late. It might be time to update the USPS mot...
