Greetings my friends! Well, as a surprise to us all, The-Short-One has gotten my entire web site uploaded to it's new home! I am quite shocked as I did not expect her to ever get anything done, let alone something which Charlie has been saying is hard and complicated! The-Short-One has informed me that the process is neither hard nor complicated, and that she did the entire thing in about 45 minutes! I am very disappointed in Charlie, as I was sure he was actually trying, and now it seems he wasn't. [Imagine a very sad face here]. I am quite pleased that it is finally done, though! I have 50 Megs here, so if I fill it up, I think I will have to start paying after this! I am up to around 29 megs now, so maybe I can keep this address for awhile!

Also, more happy news - my punishment is over! No more hauling garbage and washing dishes! My poor wrinkled paws are so happy! last night was the last night of my imposed servitude, so today I actually have time to do something - like update this and work on my Troccas cards - no, I haven't forgotten! Ah, sweet freedom!

Now I will tell you about the new bears. The-Short-One and Charlie went to the fair (and did not take me, might I add) and they brought Ruby and Sebastian. Ruby and Butterscotch hit it off immediatly, as they are both cowboy nuts. Ruby is trying to organize a "cat rodeo", frankly I think she is nuts and will probably end up mauled, but she insists she used to ride cats all the time when she was traveling with the carnival, she says one of the carnies had some pet cats. Sebastian, a white tiger, has been palling around with Randolf the reindeer. Sebastian is a bit of a magician and has been wowing us with tricks, Randolf is quite happy to be his assistant, so every one seems to be happy. I heard a rumor that Charlie and The-Short-One played a lot of money in order to get Sebastian, because the carnie had a thick southern accent and talked very fast! Sebastian says this is true and has a bit of an accent himself!

Andy's team beat us in baseball last week, but then joy of joys we beat Clownie's team! We now have 3 wins! We play Booy's team tomorrow, and I am confident we can beat them, too! Booy keeps insisting we only beat "the Stars" because Clownie was down with a cold so that Henry was in charge, but I say it's because we have been practicing and are finally starting to get things rolling! If we win the next five games then we will have a shot at the Championship! I am so excited! And guess what they are doing this year? There is going to be a trophy for the winner! Won't a trophy look good in my bedroom? I think I'll put it in the middle of my headboard, or maybe on my dresser... Oh! I know! I'll have Clarance John build me a new shelf just for it!

Well, Pongo got the Cotton candy machine fixed just in time for the circus, so we got normal cotton candy after all! As for the circus it was quite good - until Zeke and Jesse's act. Everyone remembers me saying that Clownie should not let them participate, well, I was right! After hug-me had finished his shooting exhibition (which was very interesting) Zeke and Jesse came tumbling out and grabbed Hug-Me's cowboy pistol before anyone could do a thing about it. Of course it was a bit too big for them to handle, so they ended up shooting a hole in the tent! Peanuts and Bioloski, who are used to dealing with them, had to go down and take the pistol away from them. They got a very stern lecture about how pistols are NOT toys. After that Jesse snuck off while Zeke did a strange little dance, and then came sneaking back with Roary's flaming hoop. He proceeded to set it alight and tried to coax Zeke through it, though the Zebra said that Jesse was supposed to jump through it. They got into a bit of a shoving match and The flaming hoop got knocked over. Luckily it went out shortly after it fell, so Jesse and Zeke were only slightly singed. After that Bioloski and Peanuts hauled them off to Betsy and Pinky to get fixed up. They were both very cross as they then missed the next two acts, including Slimy's legendary high dive, in order to bandage the evildoers. I am glad that Bubbles is here, but the sooner that some of those Iowa bears leave the better! We have bad bears, but they do not compare to the bad Iowa bears! Well, actually we have the Harrys... but even the Harrys didn't interrupt the circus, though it is generally believed that The Harrys were the ones who procured matches and set the entire thing up. I don't know if Jesse and Zeke really require ring leaders or not, as they managed to get into plenty of trouble before they ever came here!

Oh! The evil alien Blinky has finally left! They came early last week and hauled her out of here, yowling and howling all the way! Our aliens were quite shook up by the disappearance of one of their number, and so they behaved for a day or two, but they are once again back to their evil behavior. Orange Ducky has been instrumental in helping with the whisker trimmings! He has gotten Hot Stuff, Bobby Bear, Tommy Toad and Ruff to help us, so we can now do two cats at once, which cuts down on injuries and saves time. I have shown Orange Ducky the proper way to trim an evil aliens whiskers, so that when they are finally re-united with their evil alien they can follow the correct procedure.

I have been practicing Troccas, but I have switched partners. Bubbles and I are now partners (he gets hints much better), and Booy and Doggie have been playing against us. The last game was quite close, but Bubbles and I managed to win. We have made up several good hints that involve comments from the "Red Dwarf" TV show. Luckily Booy and Doggie can't figure them out! Hee-hee!

That is pretty much it around here. i have to get going anyway, because Bubbles wants to write his mommy a letter, and I promised to help him!

Toodle-doo

There is Randolf, Butterscotch, Ruby and Sebastian. You may remember Randolf from Bubbles's 2001 visit.
