Tribute to Bear

Bear
1998-2008
Today my Mom and Chip had to put our family dog down because he was so sick. Bear was the best dog. He was just like a human. He understood everything that we would say. He loved being scratched. He would come up to you and put his head under your hand so that you could pet him. He would continue to do it until you did pet him.

This was his favorite pose. He would sleep like this.

He was a Golden Retriever. He was great at retrieving balls and sticks. The funny thing is that he would never give them back so you could throw it again.



Bear you were a wonderful friend and the best dog. You were always so full of life.

We are going miss you.

I'm sorry Shell... there's nothing like losing a dog that you grew up with and there's nothing like Golden Retrievers!

This was the sweetest and cutest post I've read in a long time! I can't wait to get our first family dog. And I hope he is as great as BEAR.

I'm sorry Shell, that must have been hard. I don't know what we will do when we have to put our little wassail down.
