Time for this week's bear of the week - except this week it's not one bear, but a whole family of bears - the Berenstain Bears.
Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Sister Bear and Brother Bear live in a cool tree house and have lots of funny adventures - usually involving Papa Bear learning something which he is, in fact, trying to teach (Papa Bear is not too bright, methinks).
The Berenstain bears began as book characters but, like so many famous bears, have made their way on to television screens (hmm, makes me wonder why nobody has made a tv show about moi, Pemberthy Bear). You can learn more about the Berenstain Bears,a nd play games, on their website.

Pemberthy's Cute Site of the Week: Orsinal
This week's cute site is just the cutest of the cute.
Orsinal is filled with cute characters in cute games. It is so lovely for me to find a site filled with games which don't involve shooting or hunting or violence. Primula loves it too.
My favourite game is bungee bear (click on the bear graphic about half way down) but Sunny Day Sky (first graphic on the page) is lots of fun, involving using an umbrella as a parachute and feeding acorns to duck in the pond (click on the duck in the third row) is lots of fun.
Orsinal is going to be one of my favourites for a long time.

Pemberthy's Cute Site of the Week
Are you ready for this week's cute site? More animal photos - there just seem to be so many cute shots posted all over the net.
This week's site is called Cute Overload. Lots and lots of cute stuff here, including a cute background. And if you look at the category menu on the right, you might even find some cute bear shots - though not even a little picture of moi! When I said this to Primula she growled. 'It's not all about you, Pemberthy,' she admonished. And was right, as always.
Sigh. Well, enjoy the cute site anyway.

Pemberthy's Bear of the Week: Fozzie Bear
This week's bear of the week is a TV star. WOW! I'm in awe. AND he can play the piano - and I know, from experience, just how hard it is to control a keyboard when you are blessed with paws instead of human fingers.
So,w ho is this bear? Fozzie Bear, of course, of Muppet fame.Fozzie not only plays the piano, he also dances (not so well, but hey, who am I to criticize another bear's dancing skills) and he tells jokes. All the time, which sometimes lands him in trouble.
You can learn more about Fozzie Bear here.

Pemberthy's Word of the Day: Tetchy
Today’s word of the day is TETCHY.
Tetchy (adjective) – irritable, touchy or sensitive.
It has been so cold of late that I have become a bit tetchy. It is spring here in the southern hemisphere and, by rights, the weather should be warming up. But it still seems cold as cold here in the toyroom, and I am heartily sick of it.
Primula told me that I was a bit tetchy.
‘Am not!’ I told her.
Primula smiled patiently. ‘Yes you are, Pemberthy darling. You’ve growled at everyone this morning. You grunted at me when I said good morning, you told the monkeys to be quiet when they sang you a song, and just now I saw you turn your back on the toy soldiers when they tried to involve you in their game of hopscotch.’
I sighed. Primula was right – as always. I was being tetchy. And more than a tad rude.
Primula took me to the toyroom window and pointed at the view outside. The sun was breaking through the clouds, just a little, and I could see two yellow daffodils blooming in Sally’s garden. Other bulbs are flowering, and there are birds nesting in the tree outside the window.
I smiled. Spring IS here, just not as warmly as I’d like. Soon it will be summer, my favourite time of year. What have I got to be tetchy about?
‘Oh Primula, I’m sorry. I don’t mean to be such a grump. How about a sing along?’
Of course Primula agreed and soon the toyroom was ringing with the sounds of singing. From now on I shall try not to be such a tetchy bear.

Pemberthy's Cute Site of the Week
Time for another cute site. More cute animals this time - at the Cute Cat Blog. My favourite is the Invisible Guitar Hero photo - my friend Sally's kids (the Murphlets) love Guitar Hero, but I've never seen a cat playing it!
Anyway, enjoy the site.

Pemberthy's Bear of the Week: Winnie the Pooh
Bears bears bars! I do so love bears, being one myself.
This week's bear of the week has been filling the hearts of kids (and other bears) since 1926, when A. A. Milne's book, called Winnie the Pooh was published. Other books followed and much further down the track he became a Disney character. I personally prefer the 'old style' pooh to the Disney version, but the Disney one is cute too.
You can learn more about Winnie the Pooh here. this website also has games, wallpapers, links and more.
Enjoy!
