Welcome Mylee!

Our last morning walk was a surreal one outside and made for some cool photos. The first pic above, by the way, caught Mattie mid-shake.

Now you can chase Mattie...even if you're miles away from home. Just click play to watch the video and get that ball!
Also, you might enjoy looking over the art jams site for Bright Lights stop-motion animation class. We just finished up today.

The Bearmatt Daily's "Chase Mattie point-of-view video"
is almost ready for you to watch...just in case you wanted to "chase Mattie" from miles away from home...stay tuned! Meanwhile, enjoy the pic above of the star on the set of our production.

One of our embedded Bearmatt Daily writers emailed this report direct from Laramie.

"Hey...the Days Inn has a "Business Center" with TWO computers. Yea, I
can check my email and Bearmatt! That is the most exciting thing here so far.
We did get to see the Cowboy's campus and I have to get a t-shirt with that
bucking bronco guy on it before we leave in the morning.

Today was a long day and of course we did not get an early start. I think we finally
got out of town around 10:30 and made it to Laramie about 6:00. Morgan had her
clothes off and swim suit on before we had a chance to take a deep
breath. The kids swam for about an hour or so and then we headed "downtown"
for a bite to eat. Taylor and Morgan wanted Godfather's Pizza (always nice
to try something we can't get back home!). I was just glad they served adult
beverages!

It is very cool and windy here and I believe the state bird
must be the mosquito.
But I'll take this any day over hot and humid!"

Great reporting...and on this end we have one tired dog trying to pant her way to sleep in the big chair, watching tv, after a bout of playtime in the backyard...and a long early morning walk.

And so their fun begins...in Laramie.
Yep, you guessed it...all of our two or three readers can rest easy knowing another edition of the Bearmatt Daily is back online. The Mattie Edition! Click by next week cause we'll be updating soon.

Goodbye Bear. Rest in peace...or bark in peace, whatever your little heart desires.

This is the last morning post. It's 6:40 and the girls...wait...I just heard a *thunk* on the office floor...hold on...it's Mattie with her blue turtle-butterfly-insect thing. Okay, back to typing. The girls just had their breakfast and treats and we all hung out on the back patio for a while. Mattie can get a little jealous when Bear comes up next to me and starts pushing her nose into my arm for some loving. I start petting Bear and Mattie wedges herself between us pretty fast. Now she's got her deflated bank robber toy and wants to play.

I was finally able to put up some of the pics I've been taking. Not too many. I've been trying to get the girls playing at night; their like little kids. Bear will come prancing in, dive headfirst...oh wait...they BOTH just came into the office. Too funny. Anyway...she'll put her face into the chair, rub and bark, then go after Mattie and then Mattie starts playing with Bear, then they run all over the place and then...it...stops. Just like that. Oh, their doing it now. I'm hearing Bear barking. Busy morning with these crazy girls. I better go and give them both some pure undivided attention.

Good morning and Merry Christmas. I just finished walking the dogs. It's 7:10 in the morning here and still a little dark. There's a chill and a breeze out but not too bad. No snow. Mattie is tuckered out (in fact she's on her side on the floor right now) and Bear is really feeling the Holiday spirit. She's playing with the mat in front of the fireplace as I type this, and has been turning in her "scratch my ears forever and let me nuzzle up against you with my nose" coupon. They both had their Christmas breakfast, with several treats, and I'll be heading out for the morning in about forty-five minutes. All is peaceful in this doggie world.
