"Who's that talking to Nana Kayzy?" asked Bilbo, peeking out of his hoodie at the strange new bear.
 |
| Who's that? |
 |
| Joseph |
"I heard Nana Kayzy calling him 'Joseph'," replied O'Shaughnessy. "She's just finished making him."
 |
| He looks scary! |
"Ooh, he looks a bit scary, with that black hair sticking up on top of his head," whispered Bilbo, retreating back into his hoodie.
"That's just a mohawk hairdo," said O'Shaughnessy, "and I'm sure he's not scary - Nana Kayzy doesn't make scary bears - he's just
different. You're different, too, Bilbo - you've got a stripey nose, and nobody thinks you're scary!"
 |
| He's just different |
Bilbo giggled, and emerged from his hoodie again. "Mmm, that's true," he said, "Nana Kayzy says each one of us is
special, so I guess we're all
different."
 |
| We're all different! |
O'Shaughnessy smiled, and then suggested,
"How about we go and say hello to him?"
 |
| Let's go and say Hello |
Bilbo nodded, so O'Shaughnessy picked him up and piggy-backed him over to where Joseph was standing.
 |
| G'day! |
After introductions, the bears were soon having fun, teasing each other, and just being boys.
 |
| We're gonna call you Joh-Moh! |
It wasn't long before the bears had given Joseph a new nickname - Joh-Moh - which seemed to suit him very well, so the name stuck (although Nana Kayzy continues to call him Joseph).
You can learn a little more about Joh-Moh, O'Shaughnessy and Bilbo by going to the
For Adoption page.
Bilbo nodded, so O'Shaughnessy picked him up and piggy-backed him over to where Joseph was standing.
All bears are friends, they join the fur club, and are mates forever.

I adore your bears and this new guy is no exception. Hugs
ReplyDeleteAwwww we didn't know that Bilbo still hadn't found a home! Remember us? We were standing in front of your stand at the Woodend bear show for quite a while ummm-ing and ahhhh-ing whether to adopt Bilbo or not.
ReplyDeleteI'm am absolutely amazed he's still available, never would have guessed. He might come to live with us after all....... :)
Hugs!
