Bear

In the back yard on Day 3

Bear has his own page!

Bear joined the family on January 24th, 2010. We didn't adopt him, he chose us.

He had been living in Low Gap Park for 6 months or so, abandoned or lost and homeless. We'd attempted to get his attention a few times, but he always scurried off, even when offered food or doggie treats. Other people left water bowls for him and tried to befriend him. Animal Care had even been to the park on several occassions to try and catch him. But no one who tried had any luck bringing him in.

There had been several storms that brought a few weeks of cold, wet weather in early January. We think he had probably had enough, was tired of it, and wanted someplace different. So one dreary rainy morning, he came close as we were waling into the park. He allowed Trish to scratch his head and she was hooked. A few hours later he made his decision, jumped into her Jeep voluntarily, and has been with the family ever since.
