Last week, we added a new addition to the family! His is a big, fluffy, bundle of love and goes by the name Bear! With Jake getting up there in age, we thought it would be a good time to get a companion dog for Jake, as well as another dog as to liven things up around here.

Bear, in fact is here next to me as I write this post. One would think that being a ninety pound dog, he would make a certain amount of sound when he walks. I can attest that this is not the case. He is deceptively quiet when he reconnoiters through the house, the only sound heard is by way of his metal dog collar clinking and tingling together. He has not even barked yet, but I bet when he does you will know it!

Bear came to us by way of the Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue. They are a wonderful and dedicated volunteer organization with the sole purpose of helping people connect with a Golden Retriever who, for whatever reason needs to find a new, loving home.

If ever a creature is one that gives us a glimpse of the love of God, it is a Golden Retriever, that I am certain of! I would write more, but I must go and take both Jake and Bear out for their morning “walkies”! Trying to walk two ninety pounds brutes of love is quite a feat, let me tell you! Ok, off I go! Woofies!!!!!!

(Here are two pics of Bear and the last one is of Jake waiting for his dinner)
