Nice bear Stew. I'm thinking of having my skull done like that. Your daughter looks pretty enthused about the prospect of sitting on a bear rug!

Eli everyone I sent that pic to thought she was roaring with the bear. When it was actually a yawn before nap time.

Time is running out to get your entry in. Nice looking critters so far.

Dan,
 I've still got the original box that you shipped the plaque in so just let me know when you're ready to get it shipped back. It's looked good on my wall for a year so it's time to roll it over. Thanks, Eli.
