I woke up this morning and couldn't find Dave or Bear. I finally went out to the garage to get the car and drive around to make sure they were just talking to a neighbor longer than usual. No. The truck was gone and I just knew if I called Dave that he had taken Bear in to be put down. He had. Bear had begun being in so much pain this morning that he -as Dave said- it seemed like he was attempting to outrun his pain. Since he's been on opiates these last few months this was the best he could do for him. I was amazed that he didn't wake me. He's told me before that Bear will be our last dog because he doesn't want to have to do this ever again.Although interestingly enough if I should die, he said then he'd get another dog. A Scobby Doo Huh???
Bear gave us so much joy. I have to think that he was the most known dog in the Springs after he ate those 2 20s. Bank tellers in two banks would ask me, "Is that THE Bear?" Bear did live longer and stronger than our last dog Max and he really did fill up this house. Now the dispensing of his toys and food and new beds will begin. It'll be a long time before the gap he's leaving will be filled.-BB

Bobby, I recall the story of the 20's well. I'm sorry for the lost of your fuury friend.
I am so sorry, BB. I just lost my Rosie and know just how big a hole they each leave. Lots and lots of good memories, though.
