My mom's parents left on their vacation to Alabama. That means that more of my friends can come downstairs and sit with us!

Robinson and Foster appreciate the change in scenery!

For Mom's tax return, she bought herself a brand new iPad. We have been playing with it a lot lately. (It's a good distraction!) There are all sorts of apps that we can play, including a Disney Cars one. Mom found a little Lightning McQueen at Goodwill that was part of it!

One reason Mom wanted an iPad was for her photography. There are a lot of really interesting photo apps. She has taken a few pictures of me, played with them on the iPad, and posted them on Flickr. This is one of them that she took today. We're new at the Blogger app, and I don't see how to insert the photo and keep on writing after it. I guess this is going to be the end of this entry!

We were going to tell you all about what had happened in the month of January, but the day before yesterday, our dog, Princess, passed away. So we’re not in a very posting mood right now. She was 11 years old. Mom’s parents found her passed away in her cage when they can home from work. We’re glad that it happened at home and it was quick and quiet. It’s still sad, since Princess was our friend. We’ll post in a couple of days.

So, I guess I ought to start out by saying Mom and I are really sorry that it’s been so long. Mom helps me write in my blog when she’s feeling creative, and that hasn’t happened in a very long time.

We try to keep my blog happy. There really hasn’t been a lot of happy around here. Mom’s been feeling rather flat lately. She says that it mostly has to do with work, with a smattering of feeling rather useless. Working retail during the Christmas season is never fun, and it surely did not disappoint this year.

 

She tends to want to be by herself during these times, and it certainly is not helping. We spend a lot of time sitting and playing on the computer—which mostly consists of reading things online and tending to her family tree.

She tries to remember that we have some really great friends online, and ought to spend more time talking to them. The nice people at the Bear Club auto-mailed me a happy birthday email and it almost made her tear up! The Christmas cards that I’ve been receiving have done the same thing!

We’re going to try for one post a month right now. Mom is going to help Wren with her blog a little later in the month as well. Here’s hoping that this works out!

A long time ago, my mom found a fellow plushie blog called Buttons’ Because. In an attempt to exchange mail, my mom found out that Buttons and his mom lived in Illinois, which is very near (at least in the plushie world) where we live in Wisconsin.

Fast forward a year or two, and Buttons’ mom announced that they were coming up north for a graduation party! It was located only about a half an hour away from where I live! We quickly agreed to meet!

And here we are! My mom and Buttons’ mom met at a McDonalds, had a little breakfast, and then went to a local park to take pictures! Don’t we both look really snazzy! It was a beautiful day!

Caleb and Scruffy decided that they also wanted their picture taken. I like their matching Chicago White Soxs hats! Maybe I ought to get Mom to make Caleb and I some matching hats!

We went for a little walk. Buttons’ Mom found some really cool boulders to let us climb on. For a bear who spends most of his time either on the bed, on the couch, or in his mom’s arms, the climbing was really cool! I told Mom that she’s got to take me out climbing again real soon!

I liked being outside! Mom lets me go outside on the porch all the time, but it was nice to see new things!

Mom and I think we ought to break up the visit into more posts so it doesn’t get too long—but you all get to see all the pictures!

One more bunch of zoo pictures for my blog! Mom loves taking zoo pictures! Next I hope we can share our pictures from Buttons’ visit!

My mom really loves horses, including zebras. Someday, we’re going to own one! (You can have pet zebras!) This one was very happy to pose for Mom’s camera!

Another creature that Mom likes a lot are koi. Last year, there weren’t any koi in the pond, but they returned this year. The water is very clear and makes for very nice pictures.

And lastly, a teenage camel. He’s been at this zoo for a long time. Somewhere on my computer I’ve got pictures of a baby camel!

I hope you all enjoy my zoo pictures! Mom took some pictures of my friends and I after the Buttons’ visit that I will share soon too!

Back to the zoo! Mom loves the petting zoo the most. We both love farm animals, but Mom loves to pet them. (I don’t think I ought to get very close to critters who like to chew on things!)

Mom loves cows. Well, she loves cows as pets! This little calf was Mom’s friend when she was there. She followed her around and started to lick at her purse and keychain.

It apparently tasted really good!

This miniature donkey followed Mom’s sister around. I love his ears!

This is a Polish crested chicken that Mom caught to show her sister how soft her feathers were.

This is a baby-doll faced sheep. They were pretty happy to just sit and enjoy the sun!

Mom says that we have one more blog post’s worth of photos, so there will be more soon! I hope you all are having a great day!
