Bear was not a loud dog, except outside when guarding us. He was a sweet dog. His tail was always wagging. He didn’t scratch to be let in or out, he waited for others to do that, and then tagged along. He was sometimes stubborn about coming in for dinner if he wasn’t finished with his duties.
As my FB and twitter followers know, Bear passed yesterday just before 3 pm. I called him Bear, or Bear Dog. This photo was taken in December of 2016 – the day Gideon died. Bear will always be in my heart, right alongside his papa, Gideon, and his sister, Miranda. It seems so quiet today, even though he was not a loud dog. I think it is the one less heartbeat in my house that makes it so quiet. Run and play free, my beautiful, loving boy.

Oh Kate...I'm so sorry to hear this. My wife and I have lost several beloved pets/companions over the years...we know exactly how you feel.
I hope Bear has crossed the rainbow bridge and is playing with my grand dog who crossed the bridge 3 weeks ago. RIP.
I'm sure he's running with a lot of good dogs friends, including the ones who graced my life with their loving presence. xoxo
so sorry for your great loss - beautiful boy
They can never be replaced. May Bear become a happy beautiful loving memory for you soon. My heartfelt condolences...
So sorry you have lost Bear now, as well as Gideon earlier. They are part of the family. Take care.
Kate, I had to say good-bye to my wonderful cat Luna just last week. She is not the first of my dear friends to depart for parts unknown, and she will not be the last. It always hurts, but I figure the measure of our sorrow is a direct reflexion of our unending love for these special beings. I am sorry you don't have Bear with you anymore. And even though "sorry" can not even begin to cover the sadness we feel when our dear friend moves on without us, we all share this profound grief with you.
bear's heartbeat is still with you, kate, i imagine i am hearing it from here, beating right next to yours....
What a beautiful tribute Kate to your Bear.
As long as he's in your heart he'll always be there. My heart goes out to you.
I am so sorry for your loss. Bear was the best dog...that face....blessings for your home.
