September 23. “Button, your ears are rather small in comparison to your body!”

Are bear ears so tiny!”

“I’m not talking unless I get my hug.”

This ritual usually happens around 9 every morning give or take 10 or 15 minutes. I distinctly saw a grin on his face.

“Do you like being hugged, Button?”

“I do and you know that. Hug me one more time please. I am so lonely out here. Can’t I come out sometimes and play with Rani and Mowgli (The two strays we rescued off the streets)? I’d like that so much.”

“I’ll remember that. Let me see how I can get them to play with you. I need to introduce them to you first.”
