ABBOTSFORD, CANADA: Grizzly man Mark Dumas, 60, is the only man in the world who can touch a polar bear. And as these incredible pictures show the fearless bear handler from Abbotsford, British Columbia, even goes for dip in his swimming pool where he and 16-year-old polar bear Agee enjoy a watery cuddle together. Mark and wife Dawn, 60, train the (800lb) friendly beast - the world's largest land predator - to star in high-budget TV commercials. She has even performed in movies like 'Alaska' in 1995 when she was just a few weeks old. With his incredibly intimate bond Mark wrestles on the grass with Agee, kisses her, puts his head in her huge jaws, and even bear hugs her as she rears up on her hind legs to over seven feet. Mark and Dawn have owned Agee since she was six weeks old and the colossal mammal even lived in their home as a cub where she played with the family dogs and was bottle fed

I think dad was speaking with you when we left , finish up with the pay off .Baby & I stroll over to Sams Town and played some slots.
My kids was up when we returned this morning , said poppa cooked breakfast & told me what he cooked , I laughed so hard , Man had chocolate ice cream all over his white shirt .
Thank you for caring about my kids .
Dear Sha,
ReplyDeleteI love the video about the man and the bear. It really makes me want a bear of my own. And then I think, "What if I forgot to feed him?" If he got real hungry he might forget we are good friends and just see me as a tasty snack and eat me. So I think I will pass on the bear as a pet and stick with Maxy.
Congratulations on passing into the fourth grade Sha. You must be a pretty smart kid and I know the whole family is proud as can be. I am proud of you too.
Daddy will think of something great to do. He usually does.
Enjoy your summer and have lots of fun.
Lots of love and a big bear hug, Aunt Jeannie
Dear Jonny,
ReplyDeleteWow!! Fifth grade? I am so proud of you and I know your whole family is too.
Congratulations!! Everyone knew you would do it and when mama cries you know she is happy.Isn't that funny? You will enjoy fifth grade;they learn really cool stuff.
So, would you like to have your own polar bear to swim with?? It looked like fun in the video but I don't think I would try it.
I think your family will think of a more fun way to celebrate everybody passing into the next grade. Have a wonderful summer...see you soon..
Lots of love Aunt Jeannie
Hello Man,
ReplyDeleteRight now I am floating in the pool inside a big bubble and I am eating a popsicle. That's what I'm doing.
You are a very smart boy and I am happy you passed into a grade. I hope you will show me how you read your books.
Have lots of fun and here is a big kiss...Love Aunt Jeannie
Dear Jenny,
ReplyDeleteI really like that lion song and I love the video of the guy with the pet bear.I think the bear was seven feet tall and eight hundred pounds. I hope the bear never sits on the guy by mistake because he will flatten him into a man pancake.
I think everyone is very proud of you for passing into the third grade. I know I am. Yup, you know mama is happy when she cries.
Boy that was a wonderful breakfast.Poppa likes to eat good stuff an he sure knows how to have fun.I never had dessert with my breakfast before. I might try it.
Hugs and kises to you and see you soon...Love you back.. Aunt Jeannie
Dear Gil,
ReplyDeleteThe guys are getting quite independent. That's great. They are welcome to write to me any time.They know they will get an answer within a couple of days.
You had a busy day at the casino.G said it wasn't quite a record but close to it. Did you have any luck at Sam's Town?
According to the kids they really enjoyed their breakfast. They think their Poppa is a great chef.
The important thing is that they all survived the breakfast.
And honestly, any time is a good time for cake and ice-cream. Not sure about the cold chicken.
I bet you are proud of your brood for passing into the next grade. They all mentioned that mama cries when she is happy.Hahaha! And Man passed too? That's a little bonus.
I guess you have to come up with a perfect way to celebrate their passage.I wish you luck with that.
You have good kids, like my boys. They are a pleasure....Jeannie
