Care Bear

My big Bear crossed the Bridge this morning. He has been having issues with his Laryngeal Paralysis and things had gotten to the point where he was struggling too much to breathe easily anymore. Thanks to our friends through the years who have followed his stories and life since he came to live with me.  A huge thank you to Dr. Becky and Marie for taking 
care of him this past year.

I want to post some pictures of him, but will need a bit first.


We love you, big boy.

    So sorry! We will miss Bear. We had a Bear too many years ago, a big 'ol lab. I hope the Bears meet up at the Bridge. ((HUGS))

    I am so very sorry to hear this. Bear was a sweet boy.

    Although I don't blog anymore and don't really read any other dog blogs, I've continued to follow your blog through the years. Something about the Brat Pack just pulled me in, and I've followed their stories. Bear was really special, as we're the others who passed before him. You are truly a wonderful dog mom to have cared so deeply for each one of them. My thoughts are with you. Big, BIG hugs.

    Love,
    Amanda and Avery the Golden

    Maryann, we are totally gutted for you. Bear was adorable (adorabearable?) I really hope Santa or his Christmas fairy or someone, waves a magic wand for you next year so that your pack has some time out.
