Bear.

There really are no words to mark the passing of Bear. There are just tears and a haunting emptiness in our home. Tufts of Carhartt-colored fur are melting out of the front yard snowbank, and the vacuuming of our big red rug brings no joy. She lived her 14 and half years at Jacob's side never once knowing she was a dog, and she was right. She was so much more than a dog, to Jacob and everyone else she met. She told vivid stories and understood fluent English. Our memories of her run deep, and our only peace is knowing that she is not in pain and is sent off with our purest love. Godspeed Bear.
