Hi everyone, 
I just discovered this lovely video called "You are worth the time", an inspiration for us all to be creative and find the artist inside ourselves and not to feel guilty about the time we spend being the way we want to be.

Mmmm, maybe I should spend less time watching "youtube" and get more creative myself! 
Hugs to all,

Ggggrrrr. Don't things like this just make your blood boil. 
I'm so sorry to hear about your poor little bear. Something just crossed my mind though. I remembered that during a bear fair I exhibited at last year, another poor bear was stolen from someone's table. Fortunately, there were close circuit TV cameras around and one of them actually caught the person in the act. Through details that had been left at the show with connection to either the raffle or something (not quite sure what), the person was actually then tracked down by the police and nabbed. So I was just wondering whether a CCTV system was in place at your fair? Just a thought.
I hope your little pal is soon found.

Aaawwww, you'd have to be made of stone not to touched by that beautiful little face ..
I felt teary myself reading the posts, little animals touch us in the most wonderful ways, especially when you mentioned the paw to your face, I'd had it my then! Your little Abbey is a very lucky little dog and you are so very lucky to have found her, you are surely in for many years of pure delight!!
Gabriele - I'm so sorry to hear about Allie. This is the big downfall of falling in love with our little furry friends but time is the great healer as they say. But one lovely happy day, you will again find another special little face that will tug at your heartstrings. :hug:
Hugs to all.

They are both so cute Tami! I've really missed seeing their little faces, they're adorable, so it's lovely to see them again. I should think there's never a dull moment in your house with those two around!

I'm certain everyone will forgive you though!!

Sorry but I feel too upset to say anything that would make sense.
But I have just been on the Pond camera website at NABC and they mentioned the following website where you can light a candle for Hope if you would like to. I just thought it was a lovely touch.

Am I the only one who finds the picture very sad?
I've only just read last night's update and now typing through tears. Why is it that precious things are always taken from us. I'm still trying to be a little optimistic still, but it's getting difficult.
Keep praying for our little playmate, all's not lost yet.
Extra big hugs to all of the bear fans.
