Chester, Charlie, Ice & Elvis...

Wednesday we slept in a little, took our time getting ready and did a little more browsing/sight seeing in Gastown while we waited for Sharon to get off work at 4. When she got home we rushed out to Langley where we met up with Tony and he led us out to Dana's place to meet some more celebrities. Sharon and the guys kept this a surprise the ENTIRE week! They wouldn't tell me what we were doing Wednesday night until we got there and walked out to meet Chester and Charlie. It was a GREAT surprise and SO much fun!
This is Chester...He's AMAZING! Yes there was a hot wire fence between us, however, that hot wire fence was NOT ON! Yep, we're standing less than twelve inches from a real live bear! Dana is an amazing animal trainer who trains different types of animals for the movies. Chester and Charlie have appeared in A Bear Named Winnie (when they were cubs) and most recently in Borat (which I wasn't going to watch but might have to get from redbox just to fast forward and see these guys do their thing!)


This is Charlie's mean bear face...yep he portrays a mean bear REALLY well.
We got to feed Charlie some cookies...he likes his Chips Ahoy!
Yep...I got bear slobber on my hand!

Then we met Ice....Ice is a wolf/Husky hybrid. He can turn from vicious dog to sweet puppy in one command. Sharon, of course, is FEARLESS! The rest of us didn't get this close!



Meet Elvis. How many of you can say you've been locked in a cage with a raccoon? Oh, yeah just Justin, Michael, Sharon and I!


After leaving Dana's we stopped back at Tony's where he showed us what his famous dogs could do. It was crazy watching this dog, Bobbi, attack (from the safety of the second story deck of course) ;) The loony guy in the attack suit is Dean. Needless to say we were all a little too sane to jump into that suit...especially after seeing the bruises those teeth left!
