 Buddy the Thoughts.com Bear Hits Canada!
Buddy the Thoughts.com Bear has finally arrived in Canada!  He had a very long trip from Australia so he was pretty tired (not to mention slightly squashed) when he landed at my local post office.  EasyToSay and Kaybee sent him with provisions (Tim Tams) which he'd gotten into, but he did save some for me and Wow!! are they ever yummy!

It turns out that Buddy is a very inquisitive little guy.  I should have known - he's born of Thoughts.com after all.  He wanted to know why I was called BootLady, so I showed him my boots.  He said I had big feet!  Can you imagine??


Then he asked me the oddest thing.  He said that he wanted to have his picture taken peering over my sunglasses just like my avatar.  So I shrugged and handed him my shades.  Yeah....he got a bit tangled up...I'll work with him 
 

He was a little worn out from trying to figure out the sunglasses thing, so thought I'd show him my picture of the amazing people I'd met at the Thoughts.com hootenanny in Las Vegas last year. But he wasn't interested. He said he just wanted to soak up some typical Canadian culture, so I let him have his way.


When he sobers up, he says he wants to meet some other Canadian bloggers.  So we've decided to have a local gathering.  Next weekend, he'll be off to Toronto to meet badlydrawnstickman, Moxi, and Azalia!!  He's very excited about that!  Hey, if there are any other bloggers in the Toronto area who want to pitch up and meet Buddy, email me, k?

One Buddy, One Love

Thanks, Heather :)

Boots so glad buddy finally arrived in Canada, fancy him being able to resist and not eat all the Tim Tams. Your boots are really cool. :-)

Thanks, Sharn! Must be the angle...I DO look kinda big in that shot! :P

Thanks, smilin'! I think it's gonna be a blast! :)

I can tell right now,that Buddy Bear is going
to fit in where ever he goes.
Great pictures !!

Thanks, nana! I just love this Teddy Bear idea! :)
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-07 13:41:53 
  
Glad you had a safe arrival, but why would you subject him to that dishwater beer, pass him a BLUE!

Hey, it's the only empty case my son left behind when he went back to school! I'm more of a wino myself :P

That's what I get for procrastinating. I have been home from three months now and I still have not put my car in the shop for repairs. It's not like I needed the car hell I don't go anywhere, and all I do is sit here at home and read, write and play Mafia Wars on FB. Dammit I could have had my car fixed and driven to Toronto in two days to meet with all of you. Hell I even have a cousin that lives there so I would have a place to crash for a day or two. :(

Everyone have fun meeting and have a glass of rum for me.

That would have been a blast, Big D! Maybe Buddy'll wind up in your neck of the woods someday soon :) Meantime, I'm happy to hoist one for ya, my friend!
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-07 14:09:09 
  
Oh I could drink that bear under the table!! amateur :P

but he does have a certain inebriated charm...
Posted by  Azalia  on 2009-11-07 16:56:19 
  
LOL! Well, I guess we'll find out, huh?

Yep, he's a cutie all right!
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-08 07:03:24 
  
HAHA Buddy is adorable, what a crazy little man he is! Rolling around in your sunglasses and getting hammered. Tsk Tsk, typical Canadian. ;-) hehehe. Teasing of course (remember? I'm pretty much Canadian...MN is the Canada of the US hahaha).
Posted by  VegRunner  on 2009-11-07 17:01:24 
  
Oh I know, Veg, he really wanted to fit in here. So far he's doing a great job! Ha ha!
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-08 07:05:04 
  
Awesome Boots... I miss him already! Buddy's not looking too bad considering his long trip, perhaps you fluffed him up a little upon his arrival? I must tell you though, Buddy has quite a taste for alcohol, so keep an eye on him and have lotsa fun!! xoxo :)
Posted by  Kaybee  on 2009-11-07 17:13:41 
  
I just hope he doesn't find my wine stash, Kaybee! I'm already having a blast with him. He seems to be enjoying this whole travelling business :)
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-08 07:07:10 
  
Um. where did you buy your boots? I'm a bit partial to biker boots, but those were cute.
Posted by  lynbarnes  on 2009-11-07 17:43:06 
  
Come to our hootenanny and I'll tell you, Lyn :)
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-08 07:08:30 
  
Fantastic Boots, I see he's using the "I'm so cute" line to get what he wants ALREADY! Like a fluffy puppy he'll play on that. I'm sure you Canadians will keep him in line. Can't wait to see him at your meet-up.

Loved reading this Boots, so much fun to be had with a Thoughts.com Buddy Bear :) xx
Posted by  EasyToSay  on 2009-11-07 19:46:28 
  
This is such a great idea, Easy! I think Buddy's really going to enjoy his adventures! :)
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-08 07:09:45 
  
awww come on! give him the good stuff.. Unibroue..
Posted by  pastormike  on 2009-11-08 01:05:34 
  
Oh Mike, you should see the beer and wine list from the place we're meeting up! As a matter of fact, I'll email it to you so you can check off which ones you've tried :)
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-08 07:12:05 
  
OH LORD! He is being ruined with that low class beverage!!!!!!!!

I'm just grateful he's not a wino (so far), E! We'll see... :)
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-08 07:12:56 
  
Oh sure! One day in Canada and his name is changed from Buddy the Bear, to Bud Nonethewiser Beer. Maybe tomorrow you'll get him a tattoo! Tsk,tsk.lol
Posted by  cabinfever  on 2009-11-08 03:24:26 
  
Oh geez, cabin-guy! He'll be shaving his head, getting pierced, it's all downhill from here. Maybe I should take him to my rehabologist before it's too late!
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-08 07:14:09 
  
I'm thinking this is one bear who is easily led astray.

And the Aussies sent him to you Boots!!!!!

I say its in the genes.....:o)
Great story
Posted by  Waasyon  on 2009-11-08 04:00:23 
  
Yup, Waasyon, what the heck were they thinking? I'm an irresponsible adult with a driver's license. Can't be good...
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-08 07:15:28 
  
Well, when (if) he gets tired of Canada, I imagine you miught contemplate sending him UK-way.

DO NOT send him to me. The sunglasses were all too reminiscent of when you sent me Saturday Shopper and we all know how *that* worked out.

Keep him out of the Molson - otherwise the following morning he'll be liek a bear with a sore head.
Posted by  Perigo_Minas  on 2009-11-08 08:57:57 
  
I think he's already learned the sore head thing, Perigo. Are you sure you don't want him? I could spill some spaghetti sauce on him. It'd be like a flashback :P
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-08 17:50:57 
  
I get enough of those already.
Posted by  Perigo_Minas  on 2009-11-10 15:57:46 
  
hey boots sorry i'm late here but i was kinda missing today hee hee

Thanks, Doug :)
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-08 19:44:38 
  
Awesome. Is he coming to the UK at all? I have some handbags for him to play with :)
Posted by  Angie_vV  on 2009-11-08 18:31:43 
  
I imagine he will eventually, Angie. I think the plan is to send him all around the world :)
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-08 19:45:20 
  
LOL Boots...That Buddy just seems so darn cool. Hey he likes to party like the people do in Australia:) Thanks for sharing and giving me a chuckle. I can not wait to see what the others say when he lands on their door step:D Take care
Posted by  michelle8angels  on 2009-11-08 21:07:47 
  
Yup, Michelle, I think that's where he got it. Those Aussies are a wild bunch :P
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-09 06:09:00 
  
such adorable pictures... what a cute little buddy.
Posted by  theaphroditenovice  on 2009-11-09 01:41:48 
  
Thanks, tan. Yep, he's a cutie all right! :)
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-09 06:10:12 
  
I'm gonna buy me a Buddy:)
Posted by  yourgoddess  on 2009-11-09 20:27:40 
  
I understand completely. How can you possibly resist a bear who likes to sleep on his face and wear sunglasses on his bum? :)
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-10 08:22:47 
  
I think Buddy Bear is going to be running your household. Well you know how well loved pets can be lol
Posted by  kal  on 2009-11-09 20:34:30 
  
As long as he doesn't chew the furniture, I'm fine with that, kal :)
Posted by  BootLady  on 2009-11-10 08:23:46 
  
Buddy is a cutie, I bet all who meet him will fall madly in love. What a Snuggles he is. Enjoy him, dear heart. I sure enjoyed the blog, and also, all of the comments were fun. Who doesn't love a cute little cuddly bear????!!!!

Hugs, my blessings ---------------------------------------------- Shea
