In memory of Bear. 1994-2009

Bear passed away last week. A 15 year old German Shepherd of exceptional note he was the best friend of my best friend who we call Bulldog. Going back more than 25 years our dogs have been friends and companions not only to ourselves but to each other. Simon and I have been caught in the desert in a broken down truck with our dogs awaiting rescue on a day with temps in the mid-one teens the dogs got the priority for cooling while we sweated out the arrival of a spare tire.

Two weeks ago we took Bear and my dogs Jin and Abby to the local river for some playtime then to the pub for a pint. That was the last time I saw Bear. He had a good time good time that day. Pass easy over the Rainbow Bridge Bear.







This was also taken the same day.

Sad to hear of Bear's passing. 15 years is a good long life for a pup; my Emmett made it to 16- I mentioned that he was doing poorly last time I posted. Since that time he's moved over the Bridge. At least Bear was still able to play at his age; Emmett wasn't up for much of anything for about the last six months, tho my mom has a good pic of him and her other Sheltie from Christmas.

The wife and I love the NinjaJin pic!
