A visit with Santa

Hello Blog Pals,
A fresh and found Fox reporting live for his blog post.  I wanted to report on the cool holiday cards I got from my pals.

I know it's past the holidays but I was out and about finding myself and I didn't get a chance to get to the mail.

Do you recognize this art?  I always know when a letter comes from Jerry and Ben.  

They sent a cool card with a good looking bear on it.  My kind of card.  Thanks Jerry and Ben.

Droopy and his gang sent a fun reindeer card.  This card has some glitter on it and we get a reflection on it from the Christmas tree.  Thanks Droopy, Patches, Spunky, and Grandpa Angus.

A card came this afternoon and there is a bear on it!  

Ajdin, Uncle Tibbs, Parker (woof), Ms. Feathers, and Ooogie sent this cool card with a bear on it.  Thanks guys, I love how everyone in Ajdin's gang has different signatures (unlike Drunk Fox and I who have surprisingly similar signatures, go figure).

A letter came from Canada today.  Looks like the Vancouver (BC, not Washington) post office has gotten their act together.  They probably hired a few stuffies to supervise and manage the mail delivery personnel.  

Sandy saw this badge and thought about me and the philosophical journey I took this year. 

The pin looks great on my winter scarf and says "May the forest be with you".  Thanks Sandy, it's perfect!

Thanks everyone for the cards.

After reading the cool cards from the gang I decided to get in line for a visit with Santa.  Now, Christmas is over, sigh, but that's OK because this Santa is working on Christmas 2018. 

After reading about Ajdin's experience waiting in line during Black Friday Santa Bear decided to enlist a reindeer to work security.

Not a bad turnout for Santa.  It seems that a squirrel, another reindeer, and little bear have started the line.   

Oh my, I need to get in line.  Drunk Fox is ahead of me and he takes hours with Santa.  I wonder if he will let me sneak in front? 

Wow, the line isn't even moving yet.  Apparently Santa Bear is on a break or something.  That's Ok, it will give me time to refine my list. 

My list:  snacks, trips, a new scarf, hiking book, dog treats (to keep Sequoia in line) and some new archaeology gear.  Yep,. that ought to do it for me this year. 

An afternoon out....

Hello Blogger Pals, It is I, Little Fox.  No, I am not on vacation in the Midwest although this picture reminds me of what a Midwest winter might be and I think I will take a "pass" on it.  My roommates told me to get my spare change and pack a lunch because we are going to the Casino.  If the Casino has a buffet, why do I need to pack a lunch?  Humans make no sense to me.

There is still some snow on the grounds of the Casino. I am not sure if you can see the waterfall in the background.  Maybe I will use this picture as my holiday card picture next year?

The casino had their decorations out in full force.

This bear was about 6 feet tall.  I wanted to hop onto his sleigh and open some of the gifts but my roommates discouraged that behavior since he was on a roped off platform. I don't know how tall Uncle Tibbs is but this bear was huge.

Now let's get down to business.  I have my change in a mason jar and I am ready to start playing the slots.  Let's see this one looks lucky. 

This afternoon adventure was quite tiresome for me.  Casino's are built for walking around and little foxes don't have the stride length that humans do so I new I needed a break.  My roommates said they would get me a nice glass of wine to relax but upon further exploration this looks like water!

Santa Bear is going to hear about this.....trust me.

A special meeting

Hello everyone,
For the last couple of years my roommates haven't been motivated by their low scores on their evaluations.  Since I have been "good" this year I have decided to forgo the evaluations and take my requests right to Santa Bear.

This year I would like:
**Healthy and tasty snacks on every hike (short or long)

**Trips and travels around the world

**Adventures suitable for a fox with snacks and desserts provided (I think Jerry is rubbing off on me)

**A free range chicken for Drunk Fox and I to enjoy (none of this farm raised stuff)

**Archaeology gear - hat and satchel


We'll see what Santa Bear delivers this year.  Keep your paws crossed. I best go, there are lots of animals in line for Santa.
