IN MEMORY

BEAR POLING
1999-2007
Today was a very sad day at our home. We lost a very good family member. Bear, Amy's dog,was put down after he suffered a stroke. For several weeks we had him in the house, he usually stayed outside in the kennel because it was too hot in the house for him. He loved to play in the cold weather! But he had trouble getting around and couldn't walk very good, so Amy brought him in and he stayed in her room for the last few weeks. But over the weekend he just got weaker and weaker. So the vet decided it was for the best to have him put down. He will be missed by all, especially Amy and all the grandkids, who called him "That Big Dog!" As you can see by the pictures that fit him very well. But he was very gentle, especially with the kids.

We'll miss you Bear, you will always be with us.

Aww, I'm very sad to hear about Bear (even though I'm very late reading about it) Reading the story remind of my dog Max who acted the same way the last week. Just always remember all of the great memories with Bear.
