In The Beginning
The most common question I get asked about our Bears is how did it all start – where did the first Bear come from or why did we start rescuing them?
Well it all began back in December of 2006 when we had decided to go on holiday to Egypt. Myself and my Pixy daughter were all packed and ready to go when a friend of ours, Tony, told us that his Teddy Bear had never been on holiday.
BearTube
Our Bears loved YouTube and have been ardent followers until Google purchased the site. Google has vast resources and money at their disposal and copyright holders are just looking for half a chance to sue them. Google now removes all copyright material. This is useless if our favourite songs get deleted so Edward invented BearTube…
About Renault Bears
The Renault Bear originally came from France. In particular, within the regions of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Rhône-Alpes or the French Alps as we in England call them. The small cream coloured Bear is an animal of quiet charm and likable disposition. They have long been held as a symbol of the imposing wilderness of the French Alps where they lived for hundreds of years.

This week’s Blog posts…
If you have been following the bears for a while, you will know that on the old blog we decided that because Sunday’s are always boring we would turn them into musical fun days. We have decided to continue this tradition here at Jammy Toast. Each Sunday we will post a music video from an artist or genre that we think will be enjoyable to our friends. Today we have decided to feature…
Today is an exciting day for me because Davidd said I can have my own regular posts on the blog to feature my artwork. Personally, I think he just couldn’t be bothered finding anything to write about today but I am still pleased about it. I love drawing and it really has been great lately because since my drawings have been shown on the blog many of you have said some really nice things about them. It does get difficult though, because once everyone compliments them then I have to try even harder next time to produce even better drawings.
Razzi is a little bit of a scaredy-cat and is often found hiding under the bed or behind the sofa when something scares him. If a horror film is on the telly then the first sign of trouble is when Razzi starts to go a little pale. Then when the monster is revealed Razzi is nowhere to be seen – he is in hiding again. Not all bears are brave and whereas most bears hide up a tree if they are scared, Razzi is scared of heights. In this new series we take a look at some of the monsters that have scared Razzi…
Here at the Bear Sanctuary we are a strange lot when it comes to football. Most people on Merseyside support Liverpool or Everton. A few even follow the adventures of the mighty submarine across the Mersey; Tranmere Rover. Here at the Bear Sanctuary we like all the Merseyside clubs to do well although we will admit that our hearts really belong to Tranmere – we always shout for the underdog. However, above everything else, we believe in fair play and it doesn’t matter if you’re a red or a blue most will agree that what happened to Kenny Dalglish yesterday is not fair!
We are thinking of starting a new series of articles here on the blog – at Razzi’s request. It has been known for some time that Razzi is a little scared of things he doesn’t like. Who remembers when we first heard about the Bog Monster from Prague and Razzi refused to sleep for a week in case the monster came for him in the night? This was made even worse when our friend Laura told Razzi that there was also a Bog Monster in Bromborough. Razzi has not been to Raby Mere since!
For some time now, Razzi has been asking if we could get him a Steiff Bear as a little companion. I thought this would be a good idea, because of the history of the Steiff Company, to bring one of the bears to join us here at the Sanctuary. After searching for a while, we discovered that the most expensive Steiff Bear ever sold was a Steiff Monaco Bear which sold for £130,190. It was dressed by Louis Vuitton and sold at a charity auction in Monaco. Razzi said he had to have one of those!
We mentioned last week that we had five bears who are still in search of a name. Some of the bears we have rescued and who now live with us have never had a name selected for them, mostly because our Friends are pretty crap at picking names. When they arrive nameless, we have offered to find them a name and then asked everyone to think of a name. You lot, being crap, have not thought of a single name for these poor bears – with the exception of Hollie who has come up with a few names.
