BEAR
Nov 22, 1997-June 10, 2008
Bear, our beloved ranch friend, died at the age of 10 1/2 late Tuesday night, June 10, at the emergency vet after he collapsed at home. The vet diagnosed him with cancer of the blood vessels, a common malady of larger breeds. It was unexpected, way too soon, but quick and painless. He had a good life to the end and is buried in one of his favorite spots in the woods. See photos and memories.
