There's of course a story behind him. On my trip to Yellowstone, I kept talking about hoping I'd find a bear- now Nancie (granddaughter) knows how I like to get up close to my subjects and she kept reminding me not to get close to a bear if I found one. Gave me this to remind me as I left for the airport!
Thank you all for the support on the Planter Fasciitis - have written down every suggestion!
