This picture Sneeches sent me made me so happy!

Hugs to Sneeches!

PEACHES and I can't be together this year on HALLOWEEN but at least we got to spend 4 months together earlier in the year!

These seemed like the appropriate COSTUMES for this year!

Meriadoc BrandySNEECH and Peregrin PEACH, best of pals!

Hi Sneeches!

I heard that some bears were talking about how white Shnoodles' snout was, and you were embarrassed your snout wasn't as white as Shnoodles' snout. I just wanted to let you know I think your snout is perfect! You should be proud because it represents all the adventures and life experiences you have had. I think it is the perfect snout hue!

Hugs to Sneeches!

Hi PEACHES!

Thanks for being on the ZOOM CALLS two weeks in a row!

Sorry there weren't many SNARFS in the SNEECHWORD last night.

Sometimes when the screen is WHITE it makes your fur look extra FUZZY, PEACHES!

Here's a picture of it!

Hi Sneeches!

Today I waited by the mailbox all day to get the card you sent - it is the fuzziest card I have ever seen and there are two s'mores on the front!

You wrote such a nice message on the inside - I'm so lucky to have a friend like you Sneeches!

S'more hugs to Sneeches!

Hi Sneeches!

I always knew you had an inner light that shined bright like a diamond, and in our last zoom you were shining brighter than ever!



Thank you for being a guiding light that I can follow! Smore hugs!

"COLOOOOOMBIA!"

Happy Halloween from Desna and Eska!

Sneeches got us Friendship lamps so that no matter how far apart we are we can tap the lamp and know we are thinking of each other - like in American Tail!

Sneeches is the best friend a bear could ask for!

Sneeches' friendship lamp is the best gift! I get to see every hug that Sneeches sends!

No one could have predicted the new Friendship Lamp situation being such a success!

Sneeches is loving sending blue hugs to PEACHES all day, and PEACHES replies in the narrow window of 3 pm - 7 pm Schlopacific Time. Hoo hoo!

One time I got to intercept a hug! It was so exciting!



Here is a time when Sneeches got a hug while hanging out on the couch and watching Only Schlops in the Building with us!



There's rumors that other bears will get to send hugs of other colors, but for now it seems to be mostly for Sneeches and PEACHES and brings some light into our dark December days. Fuzzah!

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!!

Oh dear!

I was trying to make an animated GIF that would morph between a picture of Sneeches and picture of Uncle Phil - but I couldn't find mini-Nibs to help me and well, you see, I couldn't get the animated GIF to work and then I tried just making a single morphed image and this is what happened:

I'm sorry, Sneeches!

Sneeches sends HUGS to PEACHES!

Hi PEACHES!

Sending you some KHAZAD DUM HUGS today!

I'm pretty excited because I get to finally SEE YOU next week! It will have been two years, two months, and 28 days since we were last together!! That is the longest we've ever been apart in our WHOLE ENTIRE LIVES!

I am excited to give you HUGS and hopefully I won't get too many CREASES in transit!

I know you probably feel like GALADRIEL when she tells FRODO "Your coming to us is as the footsteps of doom," but even if you are WORRIED and SAD I am still excited to GIVE YOU HUGS.

Hopefully one day the LIGHT OF EARENDIL will shine for us again (by which I mean the LAMP).

In the meantime, as Samwise would say, "I can't carry your burden, but I can carry YOU!" (Or at least try to carry a box or two.)

One day we will find SOME GOOD again just like Sam explains in this speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6C8SX0 ... Gondolin01

HUGS PEACHES!!
