(Eleanorah)

Norah🐻's love language is food though she doesn't like eating for the first few hours after she wakes up. 🤭

She is confident, Miss Independent and immediately LOVES every human she meets! Norah is our free-spirited bear. She especially loves Buddy-boo and cuddling with Momma🐻 at bedtime.

She loves rolling in the grass (especially on Tutu Tuesdays). She will play with dogs of all sizes — she is a master of the play bow and even lays on the ground to make herself less intimidating to other dogs. She likes to be lazy in the mornings and doesn't like getting up before noon.

Momma🐻 thought it would be a great idea to teach Norah to speak on cue — it was not a great idea. Norah🐻 now walks around all day 'talking' (aka yelling) at everyone. Enthusiastically and demandingly. Momma🐻 has nobody to blame but herself (but secretly, she loves and adores that Norah does this. 🤭)

Norah🐻 does not like to be told what to do or that she has to be still (like to pose for a photo) and as a result, can often have a not-so-happy resting…face.

Momma🐻 describes her as the typical little sister personality. Norah is a go-with-the-flow kind of bear. She loves to play and just have fun. She is carefree, dramatic, often in her own world and doesn't worry about what everyone else is doing 95% of the time. There is truly no other bear quite like our Norah!

How to identify her:

Norah🐻 has droopy soulful eyes, a solid white stripe that runs from her nose up over her head and down the back of her neck; it resembles a lightning bolt in the back which fits her because she's slender and athletic and loves to run as fast as lightning! ⚡️ She has white 'ankle socks' on all of her feet. 🐾

(deLilah)

Momma🐻 describes Lilah🐻 as the typical big sister personality. Lilah🐻's love language is touch. She is the bigger, more stout, typical shaped Bernie bear and has some everyday health issues. But those don't slow her down, much.

Lilah🐻 is a big goofball and has always found herself in comical situations! She is Momma🐻's shadow and velcro dog and is dependable when asked to do something. She is smart and picks up on new training cues quickly. Lilah🐻 is the bear that likes to get up early and loves cuddling with Momma🐻 in the morning. She will do anything for affection alone — no food required (but it IS always appreciated)!

She has a little social anxiety and sometimes needs reassurance by requesting Momma🐻 to hold her paw in new or challenging situations (like when she's at the dogtor's 🤭) — or sometimes just because.

She is a watcher that sees and hears everything. Her favorite thing to do is to sit or lay outside at night and be the night watchman of Bear Territory. She also tries to keep everyone else in line. Some of the nicknames assigned to her are: L.E.O, Linebacker or The Enforcer.

There is a choke point at a gate between our upper and lower yards, and Lilah has been known to stop everyone at that opening, bark orders at them and then everyone takes off in the direction they were going. It is quite comical to see in person!

How to identify her:

Lilah has deep, intense, soulful eyes, white 'knee socks' on her front feet 🐾 and a slender white stripe from her nose to her forehead with a white spot on the back of her neck (aka a 'Swiss Kiss') that reminds Momma🐻 of Spike from the movie The Gremlins. 🤭😄
