It is exactly one month ago today when God took

my Little Bear from me.

You see Little Bear was not a dog he was much more than that.

He was a part of our family my little baby boy.

When we got him and his brother Smokey I never dreamed

I would lose either one of them at such a young age.

He had just turned 4 years old on May 23 2001.

He just didn’t listen when he darted out towards the road that horrible

June 3rd day. He was protecting his family and his home from a strange dog

who was being walked on the opposite side of our busy road.

Little Bear died instantly right in front of my home and now I have to live

with that memory everyday. It has been very difficult especially for Smokey

who misses his brother terribly.

They have never been apart in 4 years now he is alone.

I know he still remembers his brother. He looks at me with his soft eyes

when I mention Little Bears name.

We walk together to visit Bear resting place to talk to him

and sit for a while.

I can’t express the loss that I still feel and I guess always will.

I just hope that my Little Bear boy is happy and safe and looking

down at all of us with his soulful eyes and mischievous little grin

and waiting for the day when we will all be together again.

I can’t wait till the day comes when I can hold him in my arms again

and tell him once more how much I love him and appreciate all the

unconditional love he gave me for his four short years.

There is nothing like the love of a true companion.

My Little Bear was my true companion.
