The beautiful Whateva is my Org Valentine this year
I will be working on V-day and be in the hospital the next day so I wanted to leave her something now so she has a special V-day wish from me.


I decided I'd make her wish a theme of a cute little bear and his friends








Did you know that Winnie the Pooh was named after where I live?
History of Winnie the Pooh
The story of Winnie the Pooh started when a young man, Harry Colebourn, saw a man cradling a tiny orphaned black bear cub, and bought it for $20. He was serving in the Canadian Army at the time. The bear, who Harry called Winnie after his hometown in Winnipeg, became the Canadian Army's mascot. After coming to England, Harry Colebourn and the other Canadian soldiers had to go to France, so Winnie was put in the care of London Zoo. When Lieutenant Colebourn came back from France, he found that Winnie was having such a wonderful time at the Zoo that he decided to let him stay there forever. Winnie lived until 1934.

Whateva you are a beautiful person and I wish you the best for every day of the year, but especially for Valentines Day

You gave her poo?

Yellow and furry?

MickG said:

Sorry Mick, I already found the most Poohish body on the org, he goes by the name of Alf (you know, the one from Melmak)

Well, he might not be as round as Pooh, but he's furry like him, nice and cuddly

Wait, I though Pooh was Christopher Robin's bear?Where does this fit in with the Canadian army story?
