 Bear lost a struggle with heart problems and died at home.... 6pm, Dec.7/03. Lovingly remembered by the whole household. She was a fighter to the end. |
BearI am shorn for summer in this pic, but I usually have a long shaggy coat with thick underfur like a wolf (inherited from at least one of my parents). Charlie found me in the bush in the fall of '93 when I was only about 5 weeks old. At first quick glance, he thought I was a small black-bear cub (hence, my name). I was wet, scared, and covered in fleas...but he took me home (along with one of my sisters that was also lucky enough to find him). I've never been able to get over my fright of thunderstorms since that terrible night lost in the bush, but I'm 10 yrs old now (which is REALLY old for a wolf). I still guard the house & yard & look after everything while the Master's away. I don't like strangers and people are intimidated by my size, but I'm pretty loyal & loveable when you get to know me. |
