"Bear" June 1998 ----- August 1998
Chow Mix
I will never forget the day that Bear
came into my life or the day
that he was taken away from me.
I got Bear from the Humane Society from the city that I live in.
He was the cutest little puppy they had.
The man that
worked there took him out of his cage
and he immediately ran up to me and
started licking my face.
I knew it was love at first sight
so I took the little baby home hoping
that my parents would say
that it was okay for me to keep him.
My mom just fell in love with him
and when my dad saw him
he said,no we can't keep him.
We already have too many dogs as it is.
But I let Bear down and he went over to my dad
and started licking his feet
and my dad couldn't resist
that so he said yes you can keep him.
I was so happy.
Bear went everywhere I went.
He even slept in the bed with me.
Then a couple of weeks after I got him dad
said it was time for him to go outside.
I was scared for him at first cause
of the other dogs in the yard
were alot bigger than he was
but that did not stop Bear. He liked being outside.
He would run the other dogs and the cats too.
I left to go to work one morning and I told my mom to
please take care of Bear for me
and I knew she would.
But she forgot to put
him in the house when her and daddy went to Wal-Mart
and when they got back
Bear didn't know that a truck could hurt him
so he ran under daddy's tire
and he was gone in an instant.
He didn't feel any pain.
Mama said it was just like he was sleeping but she knew he wasn't.
so daddy thought it would be easier on me
if he just went ahead and buried my little baby Bear
down by the pond.
When I got home from work I didn't see Bear anywhere
so I figured mama had brought him in the house
so I walked in yelling for me and mama
came in the room and said Crystal your little puppy is gone-
I thought he had run away
so I told her we could just go and try to find him.
and she said no honey he didn't run away
and that's when she told me what had happened.
I just fell to the floor and burst into tears
asking why why Bear.
She told me where daddy
had buried him and I went down there
to say good-bye to my best friend.
Bear if only I had been there
then you would probably still be living.
I am sorry if you were in pain.
You were my best friend and you still are.
I think about you all the time.
Even though you were only here for a short time
you became my dearest friend.
Bear I will never forget you. You are
always on my mind and in my heart.
I will love you from now until eternity.
Bear I promise I will see you again at the Rainbow Bridge-
Please wait there for me.
I love you baby Bear,
Mommy
