Ted loves cedar chips. He always has. But this new pile brought out more vigorous action than any of us can remember. For over 4 minutes, Ted squirmed vigorously in them, Holly and Lucky up the tree

first on one side and then the other, especially rubbing his head through them.

Lily Fans say they?re watching it over and over. And who would have thought a piece of burlap would be that great?

What an action-packed way to start the Enrichment Programs that will run at 11, 1, and 4 CT each day! They are on the PTZ Cam under the Live Camera tab on bear.org at

Behind the scenes, Lucky was photographed trying to take a nap and Lucky and Holly shared some togetherness up a tree (photos).
Early this morning (about 1 AM), I got back from a whirlwind trip to the location where a new program on bears is being filmed. I couldn?t really afford the time away from writing, but a day and a half seemed a good balance because the program?s topic could help save orphaned cubs that are currently euthanized.
Thank you for all you do.
