Hi there,

Are you subscribed to our mailing list?

We noticed that our last newsletter wouldn’t send due to technical reasons. So we flipped some switches and after a test, the last newsletter has been sent.

If you didn’t get an email, please check your spam box, some email providers filter out our mailings.

We’re sorry if we caused you any inconvenience!

Thanks to taking many pictures, WordPress and Google’s image search we managed to get a bunch of the bear portraits back online. Note that many of them are actually second-choice pictures. But hey, now at least we can enjoy them!

Also, we decided it might be interesting to see what our adopted family members do nowadays. So to give you a taste, look at the message Stubby wrote!

With much regret we have to inform you that we have had some irreversible data loss on our website and picture database. This means that many of the portraits of our bears are lost…  🙁

We are working hard to ensure that you can visit our site as you might have done before.

Sorry, sorry, sorry!

Dear Borderbears-newsletter-subscribers,

Regrettably, we have noticed that some of our subscribers have not received our newsletters.

Even after some testing, we have not been able to reliably find the cause of this. But what we do know, is that the newsletter email might be ending up in your junk or spam box, due to some aggressive filtering by your provider.

So until we’ve found a proper solution to this problem, please bear with us and look in your deleted/spam/junk mail box!

Thank you for your understanding.

Because you’re not going to spend these wonderful holidays with an empty stomach, are you? Well maybe you are, but we are going to stuff ourselves. With honey!

Speaking of food, here’s a nice picture of Todor and Brom, just leaving for Christmas dinner shopping:

Oh, what’s that? Who’s that pipsqueek’s nose sticking out of the front of the carriage?  Oh dear, Honey  and cheese, what is that going to taste like?

Anyway, I’m going a little off-track here. The real reason I’m posting is of course not only to wish you a very comfortable Christmas with your friends and family, but especially to wish for you to have a beartastic 2012!

On top of that I would like to give a big thank you to all our great Border Bear adopters for taking care of our dear brothers and sisters!

The Border Spokesbear.

And of course a beary Christmas!

We are excited to announce that German bear magazine BärReport has written a cover story about Border Bears. Also, we provided the magazine with a pattern that you can use to make your own bear (like the one on the cover).

You can pick up the 2010 September-November issue. If this magazine is not available near you, please try to order an issue from their website.

Thanks, BärReport, for the wonderful story!
