Bear was an incredible dog!!  He was so loving, gentle, loyal, sweet, funny.  He had so much personality, there are not enough words to be able to describe him with enough justice.  We had him for sixteen years, and those years were all filled with love because of Bear!!  I feel empty with him gone!  He had a very happy life!  He is now with my father again so I have some comfort in knowing that he is getting just as much love with my father as he did here with us.  We will miss you Bear!!  And we love you more than you will ever know!!
