National Teddy Bear Day!

What a Grrrrrrrrreat Day!!! The first teddy bear was sold today! Thanks Mr. Roosevelt!

Ok, well not today…….. but lots of years ago today! I heard that on the snooze tonight.

We teddy bears got our name from Mr. Teddy Roosevelt. He was the 26th president of the United States.

I think we look good together!

(I put us together with my PhotoChop app on my iPhone! Neat huh!!!)

Yet, it’s kinda weird though….. I learned from Wikipedia that Mr. Teddy Roosevelt was actually hunting furry creatures like me. The peeps he was with hurted-ed a little bear and tied him to a tree.

That was mean.

But Mr. Teddy Roosevelt wouldn’t shoot the little bear just for sport.

The bad humans Mr. Roosevelt was with still killed the little bear. That makes me sad. But I guess that’s how we started to get stuffed? .... and that ended up being a very beary good thing!

So make sure you #GiveABearAHug today to celebrate National Teddy Bear Day!
