Pack Leader Report: Stupid Bunny

I have no idea how I, Pack Leader, managed to miss a giant egg laying, basket carrying bunny that just came sauntering into my house. Clearly watching after the Kid has made me soft. Back in the day when I and the two leggers did a lot more walking and I was stalking squirrels on a daily basis, that giant bunny never would have stood a chance. At least stupid T-Bear and his so called super sensitive bear nose, missed the bunny too (Really his nose is only good for sniffing out honey and the odd bit of BBQ, not that's not useful, but by no means is it super). Crazy Monkey claims he saw this giant bunny, but thought it was some sort of hallucination caused by a bad banana. Luckily, the Bunny wasn't up to any funny business and left The Kid a nice haul of stuff.

The only reason I am not out tracking the Bunny now is my continuing inability to master those blasted doors, and he left me a nice treat too. But next year, mark my words bunny, I won't be fooled by your silly tricks. Nobody just saunters through Pack Leaders lair with out my say so! Beware Bunny!! Beware!!!

The Kid No Swaddle Can Contain

After an extensive training regiment involving Bear-based strength training and a Monkey based program of general squirminess, the Kid is now officially The Kid No Swaddle Could Contain.(tm)

The Kid is busting out all over.

The Kid Meets Grumps

The Kid had a big milestone recently. He finally got to meet his Grandpa Grumps.

They both seemed to have survived the experience. In fact, they both seemed to have a good time. The Kid felt Grumps needed to work a little bit on his bounce technique, but all in all he showed quite of bit of talent for the Grandpa business. The Kid was very interested in this Scotch thing Grumps seemed to like. Also The Kid, was very interested in these boiled peanuts that Grumps seemed fond of. T-Bear has also requested to be involved in any future scotch and boiled peanut educational events.

The Kid Grows Some More

The Kid continues to grow. He is now up to almost 9lbs. 14oz. He continues to be a bit long and lean, but other than that he seems to be doing well. As part of his growing process, he has begun to try and master the tricky skills of smiling and thumb sucking. In addition, T-Bear has begun to try and teach him some more useful skills that are involved in the process of catching fish.

T-Bear has been training The Kid against Olly the Octopus and Wally The Whale. The Kid has been wrestling with Wally.

Here The Kid can be seen after taking down Wally.

Due to Olly's arm advantage, T-Bear has The Kid working on his kung fu skills.

Here The Kid can be seen trying some sort of punch grab sort of maneuver.

There have been some who are not sure how wrestling and kung fu will actually help The Kid learn to fish, but T-Bear assures us that these are very key skills in getting salmon out of the river in Alaska. It should be noted there appears to be no record of T-Bear actually being in Alaska or really any river. Luckily, regardless of his eventual fishing skills, the kid will have some very impressive smiling skills to fall back on.
