Who is Yzerbear?

Well, Yzerbear is actually a little red beanie bear. Here Yzerbear (on the left) is with some friends on the most recent adventure. Yzerbear got his name because he is a beanie bear produced by the Salvino company which represented different players from different teams and sports. My bear is representing the Detroit Red Wings player, Steve Yzerman. On the back it has Steve Yzerman's last name and #19. On the front it has Steve and a "C" to respresent that he is the captain of the team. On each arm is the #19. Since my bear needed a name, I came up with YzerBEAR. Replacing the MAN in Yzerman's name with the word BEAR since it was a bear. Since I purchased him in July 1999 he has traveled all over with me. Its a strange thing that my sister and I do, but we take pictures of them in the places we travel. Her bear, known as ShannyBear, is on the right. He was purchased in May 1999. He is representing Red Wings player Brendan Shanahan. In that picture with them is Benny who joined the others when we purchased him in JUly 2000 in Toronto, Ontario. Frankie is the cute little pug in the picture. He was purchased at Universal Studios in Orlando. My sister and I use the names of the bears as our online names and they since have sort of become our nicknames to family and friends. We both love bears and have since started collecting bears and other animals from the places we visit. Here are some of the places that Yzerbear and ShannyBear have gone.
