Um, This Is Janna Saying Thank You To Hannah G For Her Birdhouse. She Has A Squeaky Voice.

A Interruption, 'Kay?

Hi, it's Klu the Sailor Bear.

I'm gonna do an interruption in telling about my bacation of a lifetime, cuz Janna just got her birdhouse! Our friend Hannah G made it for her. Janna's so 'cited she can't fly straight.

Here's a picture of Janna holding her basketball. She doesn't know how to play very good yet, but now she can practice all the time. But she plays it more like quidditch that Harry Potter plays, cuz most of the time Janna flies instead of runs. Her feet don't work very well for running, cuz they're just attached right to her body without any legs. It's hard to run without legs.


Janna's house has a front door and a back door. Here's me trying to go in the front door, but I'm a little too big. It's more like a Janna-sized front door. My head kind of got stuck.





Then Janna got her beak stuck in the basketball hoop when she tried to do a slam-dunk. But we had lots of fun. And we got lots of kids here, so we're gonna start a basketball team after we practice and get really good. (We don't play very good right now, so the other team might laugh at us, but we're gonna practice lots.) We gotta think of a name for our team.







Guess what Janna's doing in her birdhouse tonight? She's having a girls' night! She and Roma and Bianca are all gonna sleep in the house. I'm glad I'm a boy-bear, and I'm not invited, cuz I'd take up all the room in the house, and I'd have to sleep at the bottom of the pile. I'm just gonna sleep on Big Mummy's pillow like I always do.

Hannah G's the BEST!

Love,
Klu

Small Ship Cruises For Bears

Hi, it's me, Klu.

I don't think I would like going on a big cruise ship, with about a buh-zillion other Sailor Bears on board. That's why I liked being a Sailor Bear on the David B. The David B does small ship cruises cuz it's a small ship. So I could sit wherever I wanted and pretend I owned the boat. Here's some more pictures of me on the boat. And there's a picture of Uncle Captain J being 'nonymous while he was driving the boat.

I feel like a Boring Bear today. Big Mummy keeps telling me I don't have to feel 'citing all the time. But it's nicer to feel 'citing than boring. I want to be a Sailor Bear some more.

Love,
Klu

I Got Lots More 'Citing Things To Tell You 'Bout

Hi, here's me, Klu, looking out the window of the David B. When you're a Sailor Bear, looking out the window is real 'citing. (Now that I'm back home, looking out the window isn't quite as 'citing, cuz our house isn't going anywhere. But I like watching the squirrels in the tree. Maybe I could write a blog about the squirrels in the tree when I'm done telling you all 'bout my 'venture of a lifetime.) Anyway, on the day that my Big Mummy took this picture of me looking out the window, the 'citing-est thing ever happened. All the sudden, my Big Mummy started shouting, cuz she saw whales!!! Orca whales! A whole pod of them (a pod is like a pack of wolves or a bunch of humans -- they all know each other). Orcas are black with a white patch. Each one has a white patch that's a different shape. That's how you can tell them apart. (It's kind of like how me and Blu look the same, except his head is fatter than mine and he has more stuffin', so you can tell he's Blu and I'm me, Klu.) The pod we saw probably had about twenty whales. I took lots of photos, but it's hard to get a good picture of a whale, cuz most of them is below the water. Here's the best photo that I took.

Here's Bruno Saying, "I Mith You Thomething Fierthe."

Um, I Forgot To Tell You Something

Hi, it's me, Klu the Bear again. I forgot to tell you that I'm back home in Colorado now. I had the bacation of a lifetime, and I've still got lots more to tell you about it, but I'm really glad to be back home. I missed the other kids something fierce. That's what happens when you love the other kids: you miss them something fierce when you're having the bacation of a lifetime. I'll tell you more about the other kids soon.

Love,
Klu

PS. Bruno always says he misses people something fierce, but he's a dog, so he's got a lisp, cuz his tongue is so big, so it comes out sounding like this: "I mith you thomething fierthe."

This Is About Puff Dragging Her Anchor

Um, hi. This is my story about the boat called Puff that dragged her anchor. Dragging your anchor is very bad when you're a boat, cuz you might run into another boat that's anchored nearby. We dropped our anchor at the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Show, cuz we wanted to go looked at all the wooden boats. But before we could get in the skiff and go ashore (the skiff is the little boat that rides around on the David B), um, we saw that the boat next to us, called Puff, wasn't so next to us anymore. She was going backwards. There wasn't anybody on board, and she was dragging her anchor. Then the sheriff came with his boat and then we had to fend Puff off the David B (fending off is how Sailor Bears keep one boat from bumping into another boat). Then Puff got her anchor chain all tangled around the anchor chain of another boat in front of us. Then the fire department boat came. Then the boat tow truck came and finally towed Puff away. It was very exciting. Here's a picture when it was all finished, of the boat tow truck at the dock, with Puff tied up behind her. Later the owners of Puff rowed out in their skiff to the place where they had put Puff, and they couldn't find her. I bet they felt all squigly on the inside till they found out what happened to their boat.


I like being a Sailor Bear. Something exciting happens all the time.

Love,
Klu
