so very cute...reminded me of the group Three Dog Night which means it's cold enough to cuddle up with 3 dogs so it must be a 3 polar bear night there #1334336Danny B. Head December 10, 2010 0

You certainly built up a rapport with them. Looks like they were sitting for a family portrait. Great stuff!

Thanks so much for your wonderful comments. It was amazing to watch them walk around, explore, chase each other, and then settle into a rest or nap.Here is one shot of us in our parkas and boots that Nat Hab supplies for their visitors.

I forgot to say that I didn't know about the "three dog night" meaning. Thanks Cathy! It certainly is a three bear night all the time in Churchill! LOL #9092565Karen Celella December 11, 2010 0
