Rocky Mountain Black Bear or Bear-Dog as he was known was picked-up in Lasalle,Co. on Dec 23,2000 Born Aug 27th, 2000. And became our family from the moment we saw him. The stories are countless,but his loyalty and his love and his being vigilant to keep his family safe never waivered. As our hearts are bleeding from his absence,we know he is at peace. It makes daily routine very difficult. As his family, we have learned from him, some life lessons…….. Never, Never Give Up! Being stubborn is good at times. Love is not words. Do what you do best. Greenbeans and cucumbers are best snuck out of the garden. Words can not describe what an impact he had on us, in our hearts,our souls and within our family. I will always be Thankful for his tireless love for all of us. He will be greatly missed. He has a permanent place in our hearts. Thank-you for posting this as he deserves to be honered and appreciated.
