DICKY THE BEAR’S BLOG

Hello everyone.  I was unhappy and scared stuck in this dark, big box with so many other bears.  Some of the bears are very big and they squashed me.  Sometimes they sat on me and I had to try and wriggle away from them. 

Even though I was surrounded by so many bears, I felt lonely because I missed my special friend, Miranda and her family.  I also missed all the bears in my bed at home. 

Every time the lid is opened I get excited thinking it might be someone coming to rescue me.  Then I see that horrible man and I know he will just slam the lid down and lock it again.

I don’t know how many days I have been here but it seems like forever.  Sometimes I wanted to cry but I didn’t want to upset the other bears as they were all scared and unhappy too. 

Now I have found a way to cheer myself up.  I imagine I am at a park with Miranda, her new friend Wally and their families.  It is a lovely sunny day and we have a picnic with honey sandwiches and cold, sweet fizzy drinks.  It all becomes real to me and I smile to myself and feel happy again.

I try to cheer the other bears up too.  I tell them to be hopeful as I know we will all be rescued soon.  I keep telling them about my new, special friend, Wally who is very clever.  I say to them that he will find us all very soon.
