141 Ellsworth Boulevard

The world of the bears is always subject to change. The big bears and little bears have switched surnames countless times (as of now the little bears are the Frenchmans, not the Wickershams). Of course, these changes are all grounded in dedicated thought...NEVER a whimsical decision inspired by the last movie Alyssa watched. They've held citizenship (or maybe not) in the U.S., Canada, Japan, China, Scotland and somewhere in Antarctica. Much of their time has been spent in New Mexico, due to a compromise between Puss's natural roots and Josiah's wish for them to live in America. They've also spent a lot of years in Canada, "because they're bears"...? They've hailed from small fishing villages in both Japan and China. They originally had Scottish accents, so I guess that explains their affinity for Scotland. I really don't know where Antarctica came from. They're quite the little group of nomads/fugitives. And, somehow, there has been a branch of the widespread Icicle Creek Lodge Daycare Center wherever they go.
Their living situation doesn't change as often as the location, but it does go through remodeling pretty often. At times, the bear family has been homeless (i guess that eggo waffles box wasn't trash after all, Mom). Presently, they live in a three story hot pink mansion with a rooftop swimming pool and butler, too! Pig and Bobby are a couple of criminal masterminds. They have a system of secret tunnels throughout the house, by which they wreak havoc everywhere at once. They are known to steal from the vending machine. Since we've moved in, I've been working with Josiah and Alyssa on a real home for the bears. Six rolls of duct tape and a truckload of modge podge later, they've moved into 141 Ellsworth Blvd.

 The living room and Matthew's room are on the first floor, as well as Bertram the Butler's purple bathroom. On the second floor, we have Puss on the left, with the floral wallpaper (Puss and Matthew had temporarily switched rooms when this picture was taken). Pig and Bobby share the blue and pink polka dot room, and Bobo (pronounced Boo-Boo, mind you) is on the far right. The attic is Bertram's room and kitchen...but there's a trapdoor going down to Pig and Bobby's quarters so he's often ambushed in the wee hours of the morning.

Pig is the socially awkward child and Bobby's punching bag.


Bertram the butler. He hates kids, especially Bobby. He has a potbelly and sings in the shower.


Bobby with his trusty bazooka.
