Various News

Hiya! I feel like I haven't had anything substaintial to write about lately. And probably won't post anything for a bit after this one because we're getting our house in less than a week!!!! We should be closing on Friday :) We don't really plan on 'moving' next weekend though. I think we're gonna clean the place up nice because the people there now are questionable to say the least. And we're gonna paint the rooms! And I do mean WE. 'Cause Mr. Painter said I can help.... though now that he's a professional and all now I think he's going to regret saying that. Oh well, he can't take it back now!

But aside from hopefully painting next weekend THE BEARGREASE DOGSLED MARATHON STARTS NEXT SUNDAY!!!!!! Ohhhh I can't wait! For those of you in Marquette it's like the UP 200 only bigger and better. And more important. Oh, and there's more dogs :) Plus, next Saturday they have a cutest puppy contest. I've thought about having Smiler be in it, but I think that would be a bit overwhelming for her first big social event and she might get scared and that'd be sad.

In other baby news (besides Charlie), Lily had two cubs yesterday! And I saw one of them today! Sooooo cute! Too bad she had to give birth to them on the coldest day of winter. -40 can't be good for new lil cubs. But they seem to be doing well! If you go to http://bear.org/livecams/lily-hope-cam.html you can see them. Well, you'll probably have to watch for awhile to see one of the newborns, but in just a few minutes of watching you'll for sure see Lily and probably Hope too. They were worried about Hope and the newborns because they haven't seen this situation before since black bears usually only have cubs every two years.... but they say they have seen Hope licking the new cubs! She likes them :) hopefully.

I think that's all I've got at the moment. Maybe next time I'll have dogsled pictures. And I'd like to get some pictures of ships that are docked for the winter here too to share :)
