Today was a very rough day. We buried our beloved dog Bear. I would rather not disclose the true reason for his death but it hits very close to home. We mourned his death as a family. The kids are obviously are taking it very hard. They all have grown up climbing over that dog when they were babies. Diane has had Bear longer than me. She is taking it very hard also.
I grew up, ah, got older in Ford City Pa. A small town 45 minutes up the Allegheny River from Pittsburgh. Growing up a true 70's child I really thought that the Steelers were suppose to win the Super Bowl every year. :D Being the free spirit that I am I couldn't wait to get out on my own, so I joined the Navy. I flew out to the Philippines and met my boat the USS John Paul Jones DDG32. From there we sailed back to the states and spent most of the rest of my tour between San Diego and Long Beach. Since getting out I married twice, had 6 children and lived in Groton CT, Pensacola FL, Germantown MD and now in Northern VA. I've been married to my wife Diane for 10 years now and have three energetic and loving children. My life reads like a fiction novel in many ways. Many ups and downs but I feel blessed to have this life. To some it may seem boring but it's all mine.. :D

Sorry about Bear. Not much else I can say. Went through that a few years ago....
SO Sorry about Bear...he sounds like he had a rich full life and was a well-loved pooch.
I've been reading your blog daily - sorry for not leaving comments but I think of sweet Cody daily and pray for his recovery.
Hope his fever goes down soon and he's back to fine form for hte beach!
Bear had a great life and he was loved deeply.... :(
