[members - click here , here, here and here] A few months back, I was working on the BearFoot site, and I realized, after putting a few months of work into it, that I was spreading myself too thinly; I just didn't have the necessary time to efficiently work on yet another website.

My goal with that site was to add Roger's (galleries - videos - profile) photos and videos there, and I did manage to place a bunch of photos, a lot of them not seen anywhere else. Now, since I was putting my time and energy into BearFoot and not into the PlanetBears galleries, well I wasn't adding any photos to PlanetBears and some members were getting restless. So... I decided to therefore allow PlanetBears members to 'preview' BearFoot. I made a call in the news stating that all PlanetBears members should contact me and in turn I would give them a temporary user/pw.

Well, after making this call 2 times in the news and once in the newsletter, I would say only 1/10th of the PlanetBears members contacted me in order to get their temp user/pw... which led me to conclude that not many people read what's on the net. I could probably write anything I want and get away with it since people seem to be skipping the text in favour of looking at the pics and videos. I'm not passing judgement, I'm much the same way.

Ok, this is getting to be a long explanation, and nobody is reading this anyhow, however I need to mention all this just so it looks like I'm doing some kind of work ~ what I decided to do was to put those sets of photos I put on BearFoot and bring them over to PlanetBears. There are 12 sets of photos in all and in this update I am adding 4 of them (almost 300 pics).

In the first set, Roger is relaxing. These photos were taken in the summer of 2007. Roger had 3 weeks off so we spent those 3 weeks up at the country place. A lot of these photos are focus on his feet ~ since the site is called BearFoot ~ however I like seeing all of Roger, not just his feet, so there's a lot of full bodied photos as well.

In the 2nd set, Roger gets all muddy. The level of water in the lake had hit an all-time low which was effecting the water we were using in the cottage. He had to wade in the mud in order to add an extension to the tube. Some great shots came of this.

In the 3rd set, more miscellaneous shots of Roger, reading, relaxing, checking out his baby apples (since he just planted a few apple trees a couple of weeks prior). Everything from sleeping to eating... I just wasn't able to get enough pics of Roger.

In the 4th set, we added some leather cuffs to his wrists and ankles, and a few more by his forearm and above his knees. A leather collar, a blindfold, a bit of rope, and Roger is one of the cutest captive Bears around.
