Decades ago when I was first dating the lady that was to become my wife, I noticed that she was having some emotional difficulties. I purchased a very nice "Teddy Bear" for her to snuggle. It turned out to be a wonderful bit of therapy. We still have it long after our vows. Decades later I set Bear up at her piano, on a pillow so he could reach the keys and also placed a drink carefully on the keyboard. Here we see the result. Sharing this from my archives as a bit of light heartedness

Love the photo and story.

We have a variety of bears and it is amazing the experiences they have had and continue to think up on a regular basis.

Added Lobo, the Yellowstone wolf, a few years ago and he is a constant companion to our grandson when he visits almost weekly.
