Ok we have a New Arrival to report!
After decades of searching, Dave found another one of Schlop's baby bearheart brothers, who has been stuck in a time capsule since the 90s and finally released on eBay!
He arrived in a box a month ago but the bears kept him in quarantine for quite some time to be safe.
Yesterday was finally the day we decided to open the box!
First the bears approached tentatively. The box has been a bit damaged in shipping...
We peeked inside and saw an eBay receipt and some paper wrapping...
Beneath the paper was a plastic bag...
Inside the bag was more paper wrapping, the suspense was building...
At last an ear emerged! So pink!
SNARF SNARF SNARF! It's the Italian mob boss cousin Schlop never knew he had!
The bears gave him hugs and seem to like him!
Welcome to the family, Italian Schlop!!
