SO! A while back...er. A year ago? Somewhere around there? I was trying to replay SimAnimals on my Wii. As always, I fell out of interest with it partway through again. But this time it was a lot more fun to play. Why?
I met a bear in the game, dubbed Bronson. He was black, with a gold-brown face, and I absolutely fell in love. The bears on that game are oddly dog-like. They sit and pant, they frolic when they play, and they even play fetch with sticks with you!! Despite needing to work on the land in-game, I found myself spending any peaceful side-moment with Bronson, as he seemed to take to following me from world to world, no matter where I went. xDD
I became very attached, and I absolutely loved him to pieces. Then...I can't remember if he died, or left and never came back. I'm thinking he died. Either way, one day, Bronson was gone, and the game felt much more lonely.
Ever since then, I wanted him in Petz, so I could play fetch with him, love him, and have him forever.
Roughly around the same time, Daveena had hexed some bears! I was SO excited and in love with the file. I forgot how she gave them out, (she did give them out, right?) and whether I applied and simply didn't get one, or if they were freebies and I just missed out. Either way! xD I never got one, but ever since that day it was one of my petzy goals to get Bronson for Petz.
By the way, SimAnimals is like impossible to find pictures of online. Particularly of the black bear. o.O I found two pictures to share, of a BROWN bear doing things I remember Bronson doing, to show how endearing he could be. So, just imagine it as a black bear with a gold face, and this is pretty much him:
His mate looked like that, anyway! But yes.

SO! Imagine my delight when Daveena hexed a new bear file. Off the lovable, Bronson-like SHEEPDOG. Imagine how much that excitement increased when she put customs up for adoption.
And, when I got picked for one, the excitement pretty much blew off the charts. xDD
I spent SO MUCH TIME with my Petzy Bronson, I wound up with forty pics. And since Bronson is so large, I had to make four graphics. xDD
MY BUDDY! You're finally home!! <3 Though...LOL There's a little change in you.
Daveena sent me over a female bear. xDD Normally, people would suggest gender-swapping it. And while I don't think gender-swapping is a big deal, and I do that on copies of petz I need to breed for trades and such...I don't like to change a pet's gender and keep it that way. I like them to be 'natural', the way they came. It's just a perfectionist thing with me. xD This bear came as a female, it really IS originally a female...making it male seems wrong.
But on the other hand, you all saw what I wrote. You know how much I loved and wanted Bronson, who was so clearly a male by that name...
What to do? Well, I decided I would have both. xDDD This is Bronson, and she is a lady. She doesn't care if her name is a male's name. I never named the SimAnimals bear in the first place, so maybe she even CHOSE this name. Maybe she PRETENDS to be a boy, to intimidate would-be attackers. I don't know, I don't really care xDDD It's silly (which is a bonus LOL) but I like it. She is my buddy Bronson.
She just never cared to tell me about her maleness LOL!
I do have to say though, Daveena offered a very kind thing. She asked me if I'd like to send her back, and she would send me a male bear instead. By that point, I had played with this girl for hours, took all these pictures, got to know her, fed her, taught her to fetch, awwed over her, petted her countless times...
Nah, there's no way. This girl is here to stay. <3 I love her SO much, and I couldn't be happier! Thank you, Daveena!! I truly think this bear will never leave my game because I'm SO SO over the moon about having her here, I don't think it'll die off. xDD
And, I feel a tad guilty. LOL I showed my sister Bronson, and she completely MELTED. I forgot what a bear lover she was. xP She said it was probably the best bear hexie she's ever seen, she was tempted to join RKC JUST for the chance to adopt one (I told her she was too late though...had I known early enough, I would have said something to her sooner! Been trying to get her to join here forever xD) and she just couldn't look away. She was so enchanted with my bear, she couldn't stop gushing over her.
And the sheepdog personality...her personal favorite...threw her over the top. xD Oh she wants one SO bad.
At the very least, I'd like to let her visit with Bronson, so Daveena, if you're comfortable with that, would it be okay? (If not, that's perfectly fine, just say so! ^^) But oh man. I need to lock up my snuggly bear...I have a sister that's got eyes for her!!

So, that's my sappy bear story. THANK YOU AGAIN, DAVEENA!!! I'm so happy, I can't put it into words!! <3
