A Sad Day

This week we had to say goodbye to Bear. He has been in our family for 13 years. He was a wonderful dog. He loved the kids and the kids loved him. He handled the little ones well when they started crawling and pulling on his fur when they were babies. He rode on the fishing boat on vacations. He would fly down the deck steps and run across the backyard to catch the birds flying overhead. He loved going for walks when he was younger. This morning Zaria was looking out the slider calling "Bear, Bear" and going to the door handle for me to come open it up and let him in. We will miss him.
