Every year on the third Friday in May, people around the world observe Endangered Species Day. In 2026, that day falls on May 15. It is not a celebration in the traditional sense. It is more of a pause. A moment to look honestly at the animals quietly disappearing from the Earth and ask ourselves …

Mother’s Day arrives each spring with flowers, cards, restaurant reservations, and heartfelt social media posts. For one day, we pause and collectively say, “Thank you, Mom.” And we should. Mothers shape our lives in ways we often do not fully understand until much later. Sometimes, not until we are adults ourselves. Sometimes not until they …
Hi friends, it’s me, Bear. Mom says I’m not technically a baby anymore because I’m getting bigger and stronger every day. But I still think I’m her baby, and honestly, I think she agrees. She still calls me “Baby Bear” in a soft voice, so I know I’m right. Today I had a very important …
Sometimes the sweetest moments arrive completely unannounced. I originally installed cameras around our backyard to photograph nighttime visitors. Over the years, they have captured raccoons, possums, skunks, wandering cats, Gray Foxes, and all sorts of unexpected guests moving quietly through the dark. But recently, one of my daytime cameras surprised me with something entirely different. …
Hi, it’s me.Mom’s Baby Bear. Yesterday was a hard day, not for me exactly, but for my best friend, Summer. I could tell something wasn’t right before anyone even said it out loud.

It sits just beneath the surface, whispering …
by Baby Bear (Bear the Brave) Every morning, Mom puts on her walking shoes, and every morning I follow her to the door just to make sure she remembers I belong to her. I know she always comes back, but I still feel a little funny in my tummy when the door closes. Dad says, “She’ll …
Every weekend, Summer comes over for playgroup, which is a very important event. Mom, Dad, and Uncle Anthony may think it is just two golden retrievers running around the backyard, acting ridiculous. Still, Bear and Summer would like everyone to understand that there are official rules involved. First of all, whoever steals the ball first wins; …
There are moments when technology surprises us, not because of what it can do, but because of how it sounds while doing it. I had one of those moments recently while watching a short clip featuring Claude, another artificial intelligence system often compared to ChatGPT. In the clip, Claude is asked how it “feels” about …
I stand very still when I hear a sound. My ears go up first, and then my whole body follows. There are noises everywhere if you listen hard enough. Some are big, and some are small, but I think they are all important. Because it is my job now. Mom tells me I am brave. She …
