Well, it all started with me. Yes, I know that Old Bear has been around forever, and a few others arrived before him, but it really all started with me when the Man walked into the Bear shop. I remember that day well. Mrs Bearworthy was not impressed with the Man to begin with, but she warmed to him as he walked around the shop in circles. It was really the way the Man spoke about the Lady that captured my heart.
Even though I helped Mrs Bearworthy get organised in the shop, I never thought I would become the head of the household, responsible for a whole family of bears, not to mention the Man and the Lady (especially the Man, who needs a lot of guidance!).
Still, management and leadership came naturally to me, and it didn’t take long to get things organised.
