Bear

Our dear friend Bear died today...

He was about 5 1/2 years old. He was a pure bred black lab. 

He was very big and very soft and super friendly. Bear never hurt anything and never stopped wagging his tail. He always was loving and hyper!

He was a good example of never being upset or irritated. He always smiled his doggy smile.

He's had some sort of pneumonia the last little while. He's been taking pills that seemed to have given him an extension of life with happy healthy days and some not so good days. 

We didn't know how close to dying he was, because he rarely looked pained or sad. Today was the day for him to go. And I know why the day is  gloomy...

We had another Lab who died before we got Bear, Abby, who we hope are good friends now.

He is survived by his best doggy friend Cera and his loving friends, all of us.
