UPDATE ON HOPE THE BEAR CUB

Hope looking spiffy sporting her new radio collar!

"Update July 9, 2010 - 9:59 PM CDT

Hope was off foraging on her own in the boonies today. Lily was across a lake and 1.5 to 2 miles away from her as the crow flies. We checked on Hope’s radio-signal throughout the day, and by 9 PM she had moved closer to a road. We’ll likely be able to reach her with formula, etc., in the morning. We were very glad to get the scat from her yesterday totally filled with wild food—ant pupae."

For those of you who are interested in the latest on litle Hope, the orphaned bear cub.

Just talked to my son in FL, and he and Melissa are busy packing their rented massive-sized U-Haul diesel truck and are moving into their new place as I type!! They stayed at the new place last night until after 10:00, celebrating with champagne!

Thanks for the update, Soos.

Great news for the kids that everything is final and they're moving in!!! I know you can't wait to get down there and enjoy it with them.

Good news on both fronts. See what you have to look forward to this winter - you'll see their new house. ... Woohooo.

That is great news about the kids moving in!!
Pretty exciting for the whole family, eh?

[Nasoosie]

It sure is exciting!

Here's a picture of where they are tonight, after moving all their furniture and stuff all day long with huge U-Haul in the 100+ heat!


Outside of the new house.


View of their house and surrounding property. Their house is across the pond, on the left-hand side of the pic. They own 11.5 acres here, including this spring-fed pond.


Before they bought it, my son dreams about owning it as he looks out the windows at the property and pond!

I can't wait to see it in person! What an amazing feeling for them to be spending the first night in their wonderful new house!

Oh Soos! What a gorgeous house and property!! You will love parking down there in the winters! (Probably can't get by with skinny dipping tho )
When will you get to see it for yourself??

Wow Soos, what a wonderful house and so good for them! Where in FL is it? Sounds like winter may be a good time for a FL GTG???

[Nasoosie]

It's in the St. Cloud area----right about mid-center FL. My house down there is just about 20 minutes north of there, in the Williamsburg area.

Wow, Soos - the kids' home is gorgeous (and the property, too)!
Congrats to them.

How exciting for you son and his family! A good place for you to visit in the winter.

Soos, have you picked out your "site" yet? What are your plans for your house down there? Congrats to the both of them. Beautiful place. Linda
