The "Bear" Necessities

OK, this is a completely random posting that really has little to do with anything, but I had to blog this picture because it is the cutest. picture. ever.

I told you! Look at the boy bear with his legs spread apart! Total Boofiness :) When we were in Colorado, we went to the Denver Zoo (which is incredible, by the way...lots of diversity and great habitats). The Grizzly Bears were receiving treats from their trainer, and she made them do this trick...I was dying it was so cute! I was probably the obnoxious zoo goer that was annoying everyone around me with my squeals of "aww...look at em!"...but I don't care. It's hard to be scared of animals that are as plush and cushy as these. Don't get me wrong - I'd pee my pants if I saw one while hiking, but at first I'd think "aww...look at his big belly! I want to rub it!" before I would get to the panic phase. I'd like to think that the bear would sense my benevolence toward him and let me live. Maybe he'd even let me rub his belly.

So there we have it...my new bear friends, my random musings on bears in general, and even a hypothetical bear situation. More than you'd ever want to know, and more than I intended to write on the subject of bears.
