Anyway, back to more serious matters. The eagle eyed amongst you, may have noticed that Ungi has changed his appearance slightly in our new Bears Unlimited Board photo. He recently had to have a fur transplant to deal with a rather serious hemorrhage of the stuffing variety.
We are fortunate, that as there are so many bears gathered in one place, many of whom are now middle aged now, we can justify hospital facilities at our Norfolk home.
We are also lucky that one of our minders is quite a skilled bear surgeon, probably because she's had so much practice. Much of the experience has been gained by dealing with repairs to Randolph who appears in the picture with Ungi, about to wake up after his latest surgery. Although still a mere youngster, Randolph has the misfortune to make more visits to the operating theatre than most. We think this is something to do with the fact that he wasn't made in England (but we don't want to say where he came from, as we don't want to be done for slander).
Fortunately, us bears and reindeers stand up to surgery well and recover a lot faster than our human counterparts. We don't even have to have a general anaesthetic either. The combination of a pint of Wherry, a glass of wine and a shot of the Polish cherry vodka we brought back from Poland, knocks us out nicely, just long enough for surgery to be completed.
We think Ungi looks incredibly distinguished with his new fur sideburn, but we haven't persuaded him to have the other side done yet. He says it will only be a matter of time.
Have any of our readers got any surgery tales they'd like to share with us?
Lots of love, all at Bears Unlimited xxx

I'd just like to remind everyone when my head fell off! Araldite fixed it nively and it's still attached one year on - Isaiah! Do I need cosmetic surgery to get my eyes levelled out? We are pleased to report that our venerable Midlands Branch minder is recovering well from his recent surgery but thinks a drop of cherry vodka would speed up the healing process.
I'd just like to remind readers my head fell off but the skilled application of Araldite fixed me and it's still attached 1 year on, but I'm a bit stiff in the neck - Isaiah! Do I need cosmetic surgery to level up my eyes? WE have just been to check on the venerable Midland Branch minder this weekend after his recent surgery and are pleased to report that he is doing well but would like some cherry vodka to aid his recovery!
