  We can try to breed little chihuahua or pug sized bears that will curl up at your feet.

    Suddenly I’m very pro genetic modification as long as we get mini pet bears. Dang it!

    Surprisingly, chihuahua bears are not my idea of a good time.

      I feel like something bigger would actually be better, like somewhere between a collie and a GSD. Labrador-size and temperament bears would be about the right speed, maybe.

      Hah, where does the new breed land on the temperament wheel... Is it going to be more like a koala, raccoon, weasel, badger, or tasmanian devil?

  How does that compare to a horse? I want a saddle-broken bear.
