Hey everybody is the forest version of bonnie and clyde ... hansel and gretal ... cheech and chong....abbot and costella...ham and cheese...peanut butter and jelly (Bear this is Spike. That last one fits you to a T - BUTT).

This is Bear and Spike on a very nice Monday evening.

It got to be pretty warm outside today which is a good thing cuz me and Spike is just about out of root beer which means it must be just about spring.

We also heard this THUMP THUMP THUMP outside of our cave this morning. Spike got scared cuz he is younger and not as brave as me Bear. He hid under his pillow. I just yawned, scratched and turned over but doggoneit it THUMP THUMP THUMPed again. I opened one eye - the one facing out - and didn't see anything but this very huge pile of candy bar wrappers, some empty two liter root beer bottles, a couple of empty potato chip bags and a big ugly wad of chewed bubble gum we use to hold up pictures of me and Spike. Must be the wind, I said. THUMP THUMP THUMP. hmmmmmmit really was a very loud wind for this time of year. THUMP THUMP THUMP geez is this going to keep up all week?

I pushed Spike's butt and asked him if he forgot to close the door to the cave.

Spike said nope he not only closed it but locked the keys outside so we would be able to get back in.

Something seemed to be wrong with that but I let it go.

THUMP THUMP THUMP.

Okay you really don't want to wake me up from a short winter nap (November through the start of spring). It makes me growly to say the least.

THUMP THUMP THUMP ...
that's it.

I Bear fearlessly through off my blankets - all 31 one of them - pushed my stuffed human in front of me and looked out the window. I got verrrrry scared cuz as I was looking out two very large beady eyes were looking in .... my mouth dropped hit the floor and bounced up past my ears. Aliens! Spike heard my chin bounce and mumbled something about "hey Bear why are you looking in the mirror?"

Boy did this Bear feel dumb.

THUMP THUMP THUMP.

Guess we will just hold you in suspense until tomorrow cuz someone just said the Hershey Syrup just spilled on the floor.

Don't forget warm chocolate milk, a couple of pounds of cookies and say your prayers.

This is Bear..................... and Spike.
Stay tuned.
