In Loving Memory of Bear
1984 - 1999

Ten years ago he split the air
To seize what he could spy;
Tonight he bumps against my chair,
Betrayed by milky eye.
He seems to pant, Time up, Time up!
My little dog must die,
And lie in dust with other pups;
So, presently, must I.
Ogden Nash

 
Here's Bear when he was just a little puppy

Bear lives on through his offspring, including AZTX

"A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down." Robert Benchley
