Bear

This is my predecessor, Bear. My mom had Bear for 14 years before she had to "put her to sleep" in December of 2004. As I understand it, mom just couldn't stop crying because she missed her Bear so much. Around the same time, I had been found wandering the streets in Syracuse, and was taken to a high kill shelter. Hmmm, do you think that was a coincidence? (The shelter was a very scary place. A lot of barking dogs and very little food, it was cold and damp, just thinking about it makes me sad. Enough of that, let's get back to the good stuff.) An angel named Casey saved me from the shelter, took me to her home and kept me in foster care until she could find my forever family. My mom kept looking and looking on petfinder.com until she finally found me in March of 2005. She talked my dad into driving from Rhode Island to upstate New York in the deep freeze of March. How's that for love? So I guess you can say I actually had two angels working on my behalf, Bear and Casey. My Auntie Sandy thinks I look so much like Bear that she calls me ReBear.
