I sooooooo want one!

I lived in the woods for nine months. An orphan black bear cub adopted me. Around August, when she began getting bigger, if I had to wake her she became 'Grumpy bear'. I have a small scar on my arm where she clawed me. She acted sorry aafter the fact, but I have had enough of 'sleeping bears' for now.

[Henry Blewer]

I doubt she would have done that. I was her potato chip connection.

Wild animals are dangerous . But i think he knows this better then me.
