Nibs Confronts Beatrice

October 6, 2011
After putting it off for days, Nibs finally asked Beatrice for a talk. So she came to the house (Teddy was on one of her drives) and the two bears sat on the bench in the courtyard.

"Beatrice, things are not going well. I would really like it if you could be easier on your daughters Teddy and Felicia," Nibs started. "They are doing the best they can. Teddy can't lose any more weight. She's so stressed out about what you think of her shape that she's losing her fur! And Felicia doesn't want to rush into marriage with Edward."

"Nibs, I am just trying to be a good mother by guiding my girls--they need my advice," Beatrice said. "I don't need you butting in. If you don't like it you can take a hike!" Beatrice really got in Nibs' grille! Look at her lunging at the guy!

"No, Beatrice, you can take a hike!" said an angry Nibs. "Leave my courtyard now!"

Halloween Falls On A Monday!

October 3, 2011
Every year Teddy and Nibs throw a Halloween party at their house. It's tradition. So Teddy took out her calendar this morning to see what day Halloween falls on.

Gadzooks! It falls on a Monday. Well, that's no fun.

Oh well, Teddy will just have to call in sick on Tuesday. Wait a sec! Teddy doesn't work. Ha ha ha. That bear has it so easy. Except when it comes to her mother Beatrice. Nibs still has had his "talk" with her.

Not Blue Skies

September 30, 2011
When Teddy picked up her copy of Los Angeles Times this morning, she noticed it was very gray out. Maybe the bad weather will motivate Beatrice to go home?

Just look at the skies! Gray. Gloomy. Overcast. Beatrice hates that.

Teddy wonders when Nibs is going to confront her mother. He can get pretty grizzly when he wants to. Eeek!

Halloween Cards!

September 29, 2011
Nibs insisted that Teddy get out of the house for some fresh air so she went for a stroll (where else?!) in Beverly Hills. Paper Source caught her eye immediately.

They already have their Halloween cards in and boy oh boy are they spookier than ever!

The windows were just full of lovely autumnal things! Teddy's mood perked up.

Fall is Teddy's favorite time of year. Her fur gets thicker (it's been falling out lately thanks to Beatrice, but oh well) and she loves it when Starbucks starts making their Pumpkin Lattes! YUM.

Teddy has gone from grumpy to giddy. Will it last?

A McDonald's Kind Of Night

September 28, 2011
Poor Teddy has been so stressed out over her mother Beatrice's visit (Felicia won't even answer her phone!), that Teddy hasn't been able to cook at all, not even her Bertolli frozen pasta meals. So Nibs picked up McDonald's for her.

"Teddy, you are way too stressed out!" our favorite bow-tied bear said. "I've noticed that your fur has been falling out. It's all over the house! I'm going to have a talk with your mother. This must end!"

Has Teddy EVER lost her appetite? Especially when tasty fries and warm burgers (2!) are in front of her? This was a first.

Nibs, however, chomped away fearlessly like a, well, like a hungry bear!

Martini Talk

September 23, 2011
With peace on her mind, Teddy had her mother Beatrice and her sister Felicia over for martinis.

"Mother, we want you back in the clan," Teddy started. "That means you have to stop pressuring Felicia to get married."

"No way!" said Beatrice. "I have to push. Or else Beatrice will end up a spinster."

Felicia didn't say anything. She just quietly shed a small tear.

The Drive

September 22, 2011
Teddy's head was a mess over the whole Beatrice visit, so she decided to go for a drive.

Teddy always clears the cobwebs out of her brain when she's behind a wheel.

Maybe Nibs is right. Perhaps Teddy should make peace and invite Beatrice back into the clan.

That way there would be more peace among the bears. Teddy decided to invite Beatrice and Felicia over to discuss this matter.
