February 28, 2005 - From Ms. Mary to SJ:
Giddyup's green ball arrived -- tucked safely into the arms of a little black bear. Ranger is sooooooo cute. Thank you! He is sitting on my desk right now. I picked up the mail on my way to work, and I never never never leave family members in bags or boxes any longer than absolutely necessary. We are bonding today. When I get home and introduce him to the menagerie, he will spend the first few nights on the sofa with the Vermont bears (Mr. Smoky, Joe, and Fred) while he gets to know the rest of the bunch.
