Dogs and Bears, Oh My!
The Sunnybear family was going for a walk and thinking about their future. They really like Sunnyside, but haven’t quite made up their minds. They needed to decide; leaves were turning, and there were lots of acorns and all kinds of seeds to eat. That meant winter was coming…
What is going on at the pavilion?
~Mamabear, what is happening over there? It looks like tall animals and dogs! Let’s go see, Sunnybear.
~Now, wait a minute, Babybear, let’s send Sunnybear to see if it is safe.
˜What did you say, Mamabear?
Having fun.~Mamabear! Babybear! Look! Lots of dogs! They look like they are having fun. And the tall things are making happy noises. I like that!
Let’s watch!
~Ok, Sunnybear and Babybear, let’s be quiet and see what is happening. We can all sit right here.
~Oh, look, Mamabear and Babybear! See how the tall animals are being so nice to the dogs and touching their heads. That looks like something I want to do!
Can we?
~Oh! Oh! Hey! Tall Animal! Can we do that, too?
˜Babybear! Hush! We are supposed to be quiet!
Yes, you can.~Well, hello, bear family. Welcome to our Blessing of the Animals. We are so glad you came. Would you and your family like a blessing?
Is this where we belong?
~Oh, Sunnybear. I think this is the best place for us. Let’s stay.
~Yay, Sunnybear! Mamabear says we can stay. Let’s find out where they keep the chocolate.
~That sounds fun, Babybear. Mamabear, how do we know it is ok for us to be here? Who do we ask?
