I followed Rona, and thought that was a Gold Badge. It should have been! Still a Finalist and a POTD is a major honor too, and you still deserve congratulations! (Btw, every time this picture pops up, I keep thinking my version would have been a blur - due to my shaking with excitement at seeing this bear! It's so cool that you could keep your Cool! lolll) #9699719Courtenay Vanderbilt September 27, 2011
