Night Bear


We say good-bye to our dear friend Danny Bear tonight. He was more affectionately known as Bear Dog. He is a beautiful golden retriever who was born on December 11th (exactly 11 years ago today)
In his early years he loved to run and chase his tennis balls, he never met a roll he didn't like and who can forget the time he jumped up on the counter and snatched an entire turkey. Bears idea of a perfect day depended on the season, in the summer months his days were spent laying in the cool grass with his good friend Worf by his side, and in the winter months he enjoyed rolling in the snow and biting at every snowball thrown.
As age took its toll, Bear Dog became a mentor for all of the younger dogs. Though arthritis in his back hips slowed him greatly, you could still tell Bear was happy to see you, when calling out his name his tell would wag and his entire rear end would shake. He was a good friend and loyal companion.

Bear Dog we'll miss you!

Love Always,
Doug, Melanie & Colby

Duh, you made me cry! How are the Adamsons doing? What about Doug? He's tough, but they had their puppy a long time!

What a touching momento! I'm so sorry you guys lost Bear. Pets are more than just an animal--they're family.
