Corgi Pooh sticks, baby, Mr Cool cat, football training whippets, and fairy bearmother Serendipity
Pooh sticks
The 2011 World Pooh Sticks Championships take place on Sunday 27 March, 2011.
Of course, as we know, Tiggers don't like Pooh sticks - but we do.
I know I'm cute
(when I'm sleepy, anyway)
Mr Cool
(he was the cat's whiskers) (and he knew it)
They took their training very seriously
Fairy Bearmother Serendipity
She had many other names, too, coming from an ancient line of fairy bearmothers like she did, but she always shortened them all to Serendipity. She was Princess Serenity's fairy bearmother, which is partly why their names were quite similar. Sadly, Princess Serenity had never seen her bearmother because she didn't believe in magic. She was a cub of the modern age and only believed in science. This resulted in Serendipity being unable to do her job properly with regard to Serenity and so she'd had to hire Detectbear Dougal to keep an eye on her charge, and to find out about the other cub Serendipity had seen at the birth with her own eyes but which had disappeared without trace. No one believed in the other cub's existence and Serendipity sometimes found herself doubting her own eyes, too, and wondering whether it was time to lay down her wand and retire. She was a bit sad but tried to stay cheerful, nevertheless.

Corgis having a meercat moment; cat golf lessons; corgis throwing a fancy fur party; private detectbear and his family
They were having a meercat moment
She was taking swing lessons
(- although she didn't hold out much hope for her game - she was inclined to agree with Mark Twain who reckoned 'golf was a good walk spoiled' - but she was happy to look willing until snooze-time.)
They were throwing a fancy fur party
(and now they were waiting for pups to turn up - it's horrible when you're waiting and not knowing whether anydog will turn up or not and your bash might be a flop - but of course they always do in the end. (And then you have to wash all that colour out of your fur the following day...)
His Secret - He was a Private Detectbear called Dougal
He knew she was really the Princess Serenity in disguise as a medical student. He had two tasks he had to carry out - he had to make sure she came to no harm, and he also had to find out if she'd really been the only cub at her birth as the entire family at the castle thought. He didn't know who his employer was. He'd received his instructions in a very covert manner, but he was being paid enough for this one job to retire and spend more time with his family which is what he really wanted to do. He'd had such a hard time trying to get anywhere near the Princess, though, that he'd finally donned a disguise and offered her a flower, knowing she was too kind-hearted to simply turn him down. Really, he just wanted to be at home, but when he took on a job, he always did it thoroughly. He was a bear who always saw things through.
(The picture of his family that he always carried in his wallet will be listed soon.)
Detectbear Dougal's family
This is the picture of his family that he always carried in his wallet. He tried very hard not to bore people with stories about his cubs, but somehow the picture never stayed in his wallet for very long... His cubs were his favorite topic of conversation.

Kitten nursery school w poster paints; corgi ballet lesson; bowls; whippet quiet evening; teddy bear Princess Serenity's secret
Nursery school
(with lashings of glorious poster paint to splash around)
Ballet lesson
An afternoon on the green
In the quiet of evening
Her secret
She was really the Princess Serenity in disguise as a medical student. She didn't want to be a princess; she wanted to be a doctor, and she knew she couldn't be both. After years of arguing with her family, she ran away from the castle to start her studies. But she often sat in the park and thought about her family. She knew they'd be worried about her, and she would worry about them worrying about her because she loved them, but she couldn't think how to let them know she was all right without losing the one chance she'd given herself to fulfil her dreams of becoming a doctor.
(The next installment of the teddy bear saga ('His Secret') will be coming soon...)

Cats gone fishing; the kitty kite; karate cat; fairy's mud pies and a corgi's vintage car
Gone fishing
Learning to fly the kitty kite
(It was a bonding process.)
Karate Cat
(he was ready for anything)
Her mud pies were in a class of their own
It was his pride and joy
(He spent more time lying on it than polishing it, though.)
