Dancing bears and frozen treats

The bears are still dancing, despite the end to mating season! Up on his tippy toes...
All over the forest, I am seeing evidence of bear foraging - ripped up logs, flipped rocks, excavated ant hills - but they're still finding time to dance!
K is enjoying her frozen kong treats. Our walks are quite short now so we're finding other ways to keep the sparkle in her life.
Licking her lips.
Analyzing the best approach to emptying the kong...
K has an amazing spirit that lets her find happiness regardless of the situation. I am treasuring every moment with her.

Right now, she's letting me know that it's time for a little walk... Like I said, her spirit astounds me. Her wish is my command so we are heading out!

  8. Do you have empty marrow bones?

    I make Khyra 'bonesikhles' using them - just mash banana with some yogurt and/or cottage cheese and/or peanut butter - spoon into the empty bones - stand them on a plate and pop into the freezer

    It so makes use of all the empty bones around the house!

    Thanks for reminding us of those 'bear' necessities!

  9. You have really captured such a beautiful side of K in these pictures. (Not that she isn't beautiful ALL of the time...) You can just see the contentment in her eyes.

    We love frozen Kong's too. Especially one's filled with peanut butter. Yummy!

    Hugs,

  14. I hope you both enjoyed your walk! Bunny would like K to know that if she needs any help with emptying that Kong that she's available. :P

    I wonder if there's more to the bears' dance than just mating season!

  26. Oh that second picture of K with her kong is priceless! That girl knows how to enjoy everything to the fullest!

  27. It looks to me that both the bears and K are teaching us humans a valuable lesson - enjoy the now, savor the small things, and dance even if it is not the time to do so.

  30. I thought about you while I was out of town when I saw a quote that said to 'remember to take life by the hand and dance.' It fits this post perfectly (I think) and what you and K are doing so beautifully!
