Hi Jewelies!  Beautiful day here, but they still had the warning flags out, so no swimming except right close to shore.  We got a good bit of sun, but i came in a little early... don't want to burn and not be able to go out anymore.  Last night we had kids knocking on our windows and door and ringing the doorbell.  My daughter just happened to be close to the door one time and she whipped it open and chased three girls over near the elevator.  I could hear her using her teacher voice to them, so I went out for support.  She told them that if they do it again, she's going to report them.  They rang the bell again around 2:45am!!  She reported them to security and they said they'd tell their chaperone about it.  They're here for a dance competition or something like that.  We noticed when we came back from the beach that there is extra security in the lobby.  We talked to a guy in the elevator and he said he carries a gun, so they better not be knocking on his door in the middle of the night!

cal... That Harry Potter kid is lucky to have his face laying on one of your big dogs!!  Glad it was Scootie!   I can see why he would just need a little bigger dose of his meds... since he gained a little this year.  How do you think your fan blade got bent?

Hi Nora... We're in Panama City Beach, FL.  Glad Joe's doing good.  Parkersburg is in WV.

Hi obsver!  I can't believe you're in your jeans and sweatshirt!!  I have to be on my toes, or I won't get any snacks with these teenagers here!!  They're almost all gone already!!

Hi everybody! 

[calhound]

hi ra! that harry potter was a lucky kid. he really loved how big scootie is. he would flip out over boo boo but no way he could lay on him! like boo boo would be laying down and being good. rotten girls! teris grand did that cheerleading comp in florida.  lol security carries a gun! just ring that bell one more time! when i was reading that thought of my HBO series six feet under. they showed all five seasons again you know about the fisher family owns a funeral home. every show started with someone dying. well one of the show there was three 14 year old girls. in the bedroom doing prank phone calls. just picking a number out of the book so this girl calls and his wife answers the phone. she says in a sexy voice is george there she said who is this cause it is like 2am.  the girl says tell him he left his underwear here! wife all mad yelling at george who was sleeping. he is like say what? then she hears the girls laughing really hard. she says kids told them you idiots i have caller id calling the cops. one is laughing so hard falls off the bed and is dead! heartattack! ricco at the fisher funeral home trying to get the grin off her face. he uses a big needle and thread runs it through bottom of her jaw and threw her sinus cavity! he says to david fisher wonder what was so funny.
i dont know what bent my fan blade. jim fixed it for me. i think the grill was too close to a blade. maybe running it at high speed all day it kinda came loose some. sweets really jumped up and hid under his bed! i had to feed him lots of cookies! going to take this movie i bought at bargain spot to missy later watch it with her and the girls miracles from heaven. all them snacks gone! sounds like you got a bunch of jims there!

I argued with them for 10:12 but they wouldn't let me in. 

wow tough break JP! you read the sign right?

Daily Updates
Lily, Jewel, Tasha - UPDATE June 7, 2016

At the Bear Center, the new bear is on everyone?s mind. Curator Sharon Herrell sent me a report saying,

?We are working with her but she does get anxious with the other 2 bears. Fern's cub
Fern's cub
We moved the camera but the fencing is too close knit to get a good picture. We do not have enough cord to move it over to the open fence so it has to stay where it is for now. I did go in with her and made contact for about 1 minute. I will do it again as soon as we can this afternoon. While in with her I stroked her back and I will continue to do so to get her used to our touch and smells. She and Holly met and an interest peaked. Lucky appeared and it went sour but I'm sure as the week progresses Holly and Tasha will continue to meet through the fence. Our vet will be here tomorrow (Wednesday) to see her.?

Tasha
Tasha
Reports are that she paced frantically last evening but is calmer today. It was good to hear that she met Holly and wasn?t fearful like she was with Lucky. I didn?t realize until I saw the video today what made Tasha run out of her cage in such a panic. Lucky slapped the ground just outside the fence, and Tasha wanted more space between her and him. She ran and climbed the fence and stayed up there until people led Lucky out of sight. I remember her up on the fence moaning and clacking her teeth in fear. In the midst of that, she looked at me, a harmless human, and relaxed for a moment and then showed her nervousness again as she looked back toward Lucky. She ignored people. We are of no interest to her at this point. We mean nothing to her. She loves one man?the man who raised her. He called today and asked that we don?t change her name. We already noticed that she responds to her name. Some of the staff like that name and are already using it. They?ve convinced me. I guess we?ll skip the naming contest and just let her keep her name.

The woods was alive today.

At 8 AM, Lily passed through less than a half mile from WRI, alone and uninterested in food. She?s apparently busy now in the height of mating season. She didn?t bother to stop by the WRI. I hope she finds Big Harry or Jack that we haven?t seen yet.

Ten-year-old Bow has a boyfriend I don?t recognize. He?s a little skittish, but she likes him. She follows him as much as he follows her.

I got a call from a friend who always invites the Black Bear Field Courses over. He gets a lot of bears. First, 7-year-old Jewel was nursing her three cubs, and then her daughter 4-year-old Fern and her 3 cubs put on a darling show. Exciting. I did a pretty thorough check of Jewel?s side where the hole was. I couldn?t find a trace of it by feeling for a scar. She healed well.

Wonderful day.

Good morning jewelies!it is 55 here. I sure am happy that tasha got to keep her name. happy that man called hope he goes and sees her. clearly she misses him so that is sad but i know she will come around. don't need a name contest had enough of them. tasha is her name period. a really nice name too. hope they can keep lucky away for awhile. love him but he is a little overbearing! Very happy to see and hear jewel healed up fine. ferns cub so cute. she was just a cub.

Hi JP! Thanks for the picture of Lucky! Right now he is kinda in the dog house or bear house. I went with jim last night over to missys had a good time. she watches this little boy parker sometimes and he is two. he swung by her dish satellite and when i went in her tv said signal is lost. he knocked out of whack so no tv till friday when dish comes to fix it and missy is off work. but i didn't not miss anything but a big fight with the royals and orioles. cleared the bench. i saw the highlights this morning on the news. ventura hit a batter and he says the ball got away from him but i don't think so he got kicked out and rightly so. we lost 9-1 and yost need to get something fixed.  sorry your marlins lost again.  jim went out to the van to get something missy was out there telling one of dogs are you okay big guy and jim said ya i am okay. when she came in i was in the kitchen with lindsay and libby and missy was trying not to laugh and told us we were laughing so hard!! jim thinks he will be done with it tonight. he said more work trying to put that one out of that old unit in there than a brand new but trying to save missy some money.

I am running late again hi to all you guys.

Once again, no rain. Warmer than yesterday. Cal, I went to the lib. and got Nora Roberts The Obsession, and I'm to the part where she has moved to the state of Washington.  Love, love the pics. of Fern and her cub, Jewel and Tasha. So wonderful that Tasha is at the bear center! Hi, everyone!! Haircut at 1:00--can hardly wait!

[williwaw]

OOOOh obsver, good book.

[Nora in IA]

Thanks for the update on location RA    Glad the weather cleared up.  "don't want to burn and not be able to go out anymore."  Better for you down the road not to burn anyway. 

The neighbor guy and boys should be stopping after he gets off work today to put our AC.  Joe can't lift anything right now and it's a big heavy one.  They're still talkng 84 tomorrow and 90's Friday through Sunday, then 80's.   

Wow Cal, good thing Scootie is so good.  I know compared to Scootie Chester is "only" 73 pounds, but still a lot of dog with little kids if he didn't like something.  So far so good, whew.  The one day he'd had enough he just jumped sideways out of the gals reach.  She was being good with him, he was just tired of it I guess, our walk got interrupted. 

Fern's cub is GREAT!

I'm glad they are keeping the name for the new gal, especially since she knows it.

Later, just enough time to get to my haircut appointment.

[calhound]

Hi Obsver! i am so happy you are reading that book!! i know right where you are too in the book. so does willi. isn't it good and just you wait gets better and better.  don't forget your haircut picture!

Hi Nora! no joe can not lift that ac unit. it is suppose to get to the upper 90s here too i think tomorrow or friday. i will have to mow in the morning instead of the afternoon. my poor riding mower don't want to abuse it.  that harry potter kid missy said is autistic but like jim said his mother should of gotten him away from scootie. really he was a motor mouth kinda strange for autistic he seems to do well with it but scootie is still part mastiff and a huge dog and scootie bites harry potter and me and scootie will have to move to another state cause no way scootie will be put down. no way. i told missy from now on all the boys set them up with no other appt and she said that is what she will do. scootie is such a good boy but man nora that kid laying on him and pushing that puppy in his face his mother did nothing!!! 73 pounds a good size dog too. i knew something wrong with that kid cause no one has ever came over to one of my boys like that!!

[ruesgram]

Hi Jewelies! It has been a gorgeous day! High today was 69! Low tonight 50! But by the weekend 90! I've been outside almost the entire day. Beautiful clear blue skies. Awesome.

Cal, I love Tasha! What a story about her beginnings. Sad about her mom and sibling. Sure am glad her owner found her and took such good care of her. Probably broke his heart to give her away but we all know she will live a good long life at the bear center free from hunters and mean male bears! Robin has a friend named Tasha. I thought it was spelled Tosha but Robin said no, it's an A not an O! I don't know why parents don't take control of their kids! Poor Scootie having to deal with all that! He was a good boy. Good to see Jewel and her cubs! And Fern, too!

Dlong, yep, I know that house! I wish it were mine but what would I do with a house that big? Lol! All the houses on Washington Ave are big beautiful old houses. The street is one of few brick streets left in town. At one end of the street is the high school and the other end is City Park.  Thanks for all your pics and the Facebook page! Love those big houses!

Jp, sorry about your dental problems! Hope they can get you fixed up soon. Crow's new upper teeth are to big! He has to go back so they can trim them down a bit! I wouldn't tell him but I think they look like chipmunk teeth! That upper plate cost over $4000!

Ra, glad the bad weather has passed! Now you can relax! That would be great if you can get your money back. That's awful about those girls harassing you! Wonder where their  chaperones  were?When Robin was in Jr high she went out of town 3 summers to dance competitions. I wonder if she and her friends did things like that? I'll have to ask her!  No, second thought, I don't want to know about that now.

Obsver, you won't believe it but it's true....I'm reading ANOTHER book! It's the 3rd book in the Big Stone Gap series called Milk Glass Moon. Have you been watching Turn? Only a couple more episodes to go for this season.

Nora, Molly weighs about the same as Chester! Last vet appointment she was 75 pounds.

We have Juliet this morning.



We had a lot of rain yesterday but it is supposed to be better today.  I go to  the doctor this morning to review my ultra sound test.  I'm glad that is all I have to do as I seem to have little or no energy this morning.

Good thoughts, wishes and hopes for all of you to have a fine June day.

[calhound]

Bear People said this........We are furiously working on getting Dr. Rogers ready for the bear conference in Alaska. No time for an update, sorry! - LG

[calhound]

Good morning jewelies! it is 68 here.

Hi Jp! Great pic of juliet! hope your ultra sound is good you will have to let us know. royals lost yet again. i was working in the barn jim went to get me more hay so i was cleaning it up to make room for it. came in sister was watching the property brothers i said i take it the royals are not doing well she said that is right. 4-0 final score. the injuries are taking it toll on us. only 4 runs in last 6 or 7 games. just terrible. hope your marlins won.

Hi Rues! Molly big girl! how cool a brick road. wow mr crows upper lots of money. sister was after her insurance 800 for uppers and lowers. she still hates
her lowers. she really needs some implants to hold them in. she loves the uppers. i thought her ones the teeth looked too big these her teeth not quite so big. what a difference though when she wears them and when she doesn't. only wears them when we go to out to the store. around her she leaves them out. It is suppose to get really hot here today upper 90's. getting ready to turn on all the fans. jim got my hay home and his friend came over to borrow some tools from him was eyeing my hay saying he has a bull he has to pen up tomorrow vet coming friday he just has big bales wanted to buy some of my hay i said no and jim said no. just went and got it. jim helped them load it up in their barn and knocked the price down from 6.00 a bale to 2.50. i gave john two old regular bales and that was it. i got all that really old hay but that is where my raccoons go and that cat and my possum. don't like people trying to get my hay. he can go buy hay too. jim told him about thad our hay guy but i was worried about someone getting that hay and jim said don't worry you always come first to thad. i help him and been good customers for years. today i start scootie giving an extra pill at 11:30 am. i hope i remember to always do that now. i hate it will three times a day. still thinking about it.

Hi To all you guys!
