BFF..BEAR FREE FOREVER See video description

As my regular blog readers know, my return trip to Animals Asia Foundation in Chengdu China was filled with a roller coaster of emotions, ranging from deep sadness to sheer joy for the rescued bears. CLICK HERE to read the previous post I did from China for a refresher.

I took almost 2000 images in one day’s time and hours of HD video to document the moonbears and Jills program for my artwork, book and calendars etc which I will be doing to benefit AAF in months to come. In the video you will see some very uplifting footage I took of bears no longer in pain that remind us why our help is so desperately needed.

The first in this series of Tshirt  designs inspired by those images is now available in my Zazzle store with 100% of the profit going to AAF to help BEFRIEND A BEAR (or 2 or 3 or 100 if we can do it!)  The video above I created to promote the shirt but more importantly to promote AAF and the  incredible work they do.

When I asked Jill “what can I do” to best help AAF, her answer was quick and to the point.  “Get the word out about the moonbears”.  So that is what I plan to do and I would like to enlist your help in this mission. Heres how to do it

Happy Sunday everyone.  I’m out of town at the moment and not able to do much emailing so I decided to do a quick blog post here thanking all of you who responded so quickly to my update about the Bai Xue adoption outreach!! Thanks to all our ‘den’ members we have reached the $500.00 for our adoption of this dear old girl via Pandas International.

As soon as I return home in a few days I will be emailing all the participants with details.  Carrie at PI has been informed of our great success and will be pulling together the paperwork for us soon too!! THANK YOU ONE AND ALL!!!

As long as I’m here……I couldn’t resist posting a few of my hundreds of photos from Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai Thailand.  Instead of focusing on the Ellies…..these images feature just a few  the canine members of the ENP family which for the most part were rescues .

Another handsome dog who loved to play billie goat on the picnic tables.

Bill…..This was the dog I said you would like….isn’t he lovely????? Such expressive eyes

This was the SADDEST expression I had ever seen.  It was siesta time in the hot afternoon when I took most of these shots and the dogs were saving their energy…..very still and easy to photograph!

This is Mookie!!  The most distinguished dog at ENP with his dapper beard!  Mookie just had a bubble bath in the river and was drying off in the shade and rubbing his face all over the wood floors. What a character he was.  I really wanted to take him home with me

As was on our last visit to ENP….the rescued creatures, great and small…..all getting along so well….healthy and safe under the wings of their volunteer angels and staff

If you have been trying to email me the past couple of days, I will be replying to all my emails today.

Big hugs from on the road!!!   Sandra
