The passing of the great Buddy Bear. He was a bear to outsiders and a buddy for Sue and I and our family. He was a great dog. Intelligen­t. Loyal. Protective­. A very good dog overall. He lived a great dog's life. He ended his days in a wonderful setting. A field. A pond. A domain. Lots of squirrel's to chase. Coyotes to fight off. Deer to howl at. He enjoyed his life. He was a faithful companion.­ He guarded our home. He protected us from intruders.­ He got us out for walks on a regular basis. He was a very good member of our family. He will be sorely missed! He went quickly. Something happened this morning. He had trouble walking. He waited for Sue to come home. He passed in our company. It was a sad but peaceful ending to his life.Watch him in action on youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh7d_2EEUS4
