<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You were my constant companion. You were always by my side. Your eyes never left me. And I know your heart loved me deeply during every moment of your life since the day you became my Bear. I can never be grateful enough for having you in my life. Everyone said you were so lucky to be in our family. Oh no. We were so lucky to have you. You brought amazing joy to every day. I could never look at you without a smile and a heart filled with love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I miss your beautiful smile with and without your tennis ball. I miss stroking your head and your amazingly soft fluffy fur. I miss your loving kisses. I miss seeing your face light up and your tail wag high when you heard the word beach. Even when the sun didn't shine, you lit up the beach with your Golden joy. I miss watching you roll in the grass with total delight. I miss you prancing proudly with my shoe in your mouth to greet me when I returned home. I miss hearing that deep bark asking me to “please Mom! Throw my ball!”. I miss throwing the ball to you and seeing your happy face, ball in mouth as you retrieved. I miss you snuggling beside me as close as your body could be to mine. I miss so much holding you and hugging you tight. I miss your paw on my shoulder as we rested together. I miss your paw asking me for pets. I miss your roll over for belly rubs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You would always be there to comfort me when I was sad. Now no one is here to gently lick my tears.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We were so incredibly connected. I felt we knew each other’s thoughts, without every saying a word.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love you Bear with all my heart. I could not love you any more or any deeper. And I will never ever stop loving you, my wonderful, beautiful Bear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

passed very peacefully in our home, surrounded by love. I'm sure now he is sharing his love and BearHUGs with the other angels. </span></div>

I went to Dr. Diana yesterday, and she told me I need to rest for 10 days! When I told Annie and Rosy. they said that they will make sure I have one of them as company at all times.

<b><span style="color: #990000;">Dear world,</span></b><br />
I was really tired yesterday and didn't feel much like eating. But Mom said I needed to eat to keep up my strength. So Dad, being thoughtful, ordered a meatball pizza. When Del Mar Pizza found out it was for me, they sent it as a gift! With the way I was feeling, I couldn't eat much, but it was SO delicious. Then I took a long nap and before I knew it was dinner time. Well Dad had another swell idea. Smashburger! I got smashed on Fidoburgers. YUM. Then I was ready for another nap. I wonder what they will tempt me with next!<br />

<b><span style="color: #990000;">Dear world,</span></b><br />
I thought I should give you an update since I know some of you are worried. Last night I got really weak. Mom & Dad said another tumor ruptured, no wonder my belly felt really weird. So they gave me some meds and I slept and felt a little better this morning. I asked Mom if I could go to the beach. She said I could do anything I want. So we went! I couldn't do much cause I was still a bit tired. But I did swim with my bud Digby a little. And then just stayed close in with my ball. I was very happy. Then I was ready to go home and had to go to Dr Andy. I was told I have to rest for a few days, even if I start feeling better. So my main activity will be napping. Sounds good to me!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for all of your thoughts, prayers and love. I think they are helping! </div>

<b><span style="color: #990000;">Dear world,</span></b><br />
It happened! I fell in love. Crazy love. Her name is Taylor. And she is the most beautiful, wonderful and fun dog I have ever met (sorry Rosy, of course you are the most beautiful, but sisters don't count.) Anyway. Taylor's absolute passion is swimming in the ocean while fetching her ball. (sound familiar?) We played for over an hour. And when we played we even shared each others balls, something neither of us ever do. I truly think she is my soul mate. I just had to make a movie about it.<br />

Today is Madonna's birthday. So Rosy decided to pay homage to the icon by wearing one of her most famous outfits. Rosy said that the outfit is so inspirational that she is thinking maybe she can become a famous icon. So now she wants Jean Paul Gaultier to design a special outfit just for her Poodle Ambition tour. Dream on Rosy.</div>

I love going to see the critters at Pet Smart. On my trip the other day, first I saw this really cool bird that I totally connected with. Then I was so excited. I saw a chinchilla again! I told Mom that it looked like he was asking me to take him home. And then she reminded me <a href="http://lovealwaysbear.blogspot.com/2011/12/pet-chinchilla.html" target="_blank">about Rosy</a>. I guess I will just have to be happy to have chinchilla visitation rights.<br />

<b><span style="color: #990000;">Dear world,</span></b><br />
It seems that my favorite park is also a fave of brides. I have seen so many brides and quite a few weddings there. It is always so romantic. It gets me to thinking
what it must feel like to find true love. I should know by now since I have
watched so many seasons of the Bachelor and Bachelorette with Mom. Well, maybe someday I will meet my true love.
In the meantime, I will just enjoy watching (but not crashing) the weddings at my park.<br />

The other day at the beach, I was minding my own business and happily fetching my ball in the ocean. Then out of nowhere, this lab came racing past me and intercepted my ball! He must have been a tourist. Dog locals know beach etiquette.<br />

The other day I got Royal Mail from <a href="http://wigglethedog.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">my friend Wiggle</a> all the way from England! I was SO excited when I opened the package and out rolled a tennis ball. Not just any ball, an authentic Wimbledon ball straight from Wimbledon Centre Court!! How awesome and so inspiring. Maybe I should t<a href="http://lovealwaysbear.blogspot.com/2010/07/tennis-anyone.html" target="_blank">ry tennis again</a>?<br />

<b><span style="color: #990000;">Dear world,</span></b><br />
The other day at the beach I met Koda and Lulu. We played for an hour and became best buds. So I thought since we were so near Mexico, we should call ourselves the Three Amigos. Lulu pointed out that she is an Amiga, not an Amigo. Ugh. Girls are so picky. I wonder what else I can call us ... Three Dog Day? Three Fetcheteers? Snap, Crackle Pop? Do you have any ideas?<br />

<b><span style="color: #990000;">Dear world,</span></b><br />
For <a href="http://lovealwaysbear.blogspot.com/2013/08/sisters-day.html" target="_blank">Sisters Day</a>, we went shopping so I could get Rosy and Annie a present. Annie picked out a toy fox that made growling noises. Rosy immediately went to the bag aisle and selected a pink bag. I told her I cant afford to buy her a bag. I felt so bad. She said it was ok, she will just put it on her wish list. So she picked out a new purple toy that she can pull the stuffing out of. She was very happy. <br />

<b><span style="color: #990000;">Dear world,</span></b><br />
Today is Sisters Day, so I want to focus on my sisters. Rosy, the toy poodle is my Princess sister, and as royalty, she likes to rule the house (or at least try). Princess Rosy insists that Annie is her dog, but I assure Annie that she is my forever sister. <span style="font-family: inherit;">I think sometimes they team up on me. Rosy chases my ball and often gets it. Annie then takes it and puts it with the rest of her hoarding
collection. But most of the time, they are both just adorable (I hear Mom say
that a lot.) </span>And while I miss my brothers <a href="http://lovealwaysbear.blogspot.com/2010/01/tribute-to-oliver.html" target="_blank">Oliver</a> and <a href="http://lovealwaysbear.blogspot.com/2011/06/special-fuzz-friday.html" target="_blank">Fuzz</a>, I really do love my little girls.<br />

<b><span style="color: #990000;">Dear world,</span></b><br />
My favorite park is Seagrove Park in Del Mar which I go to almost everyday. Tourists and locals love to enjoy and take pictures of the beautiful view. So the other day, while Mom was trying to get the perfect angle to take the picture, I decided to lay down and roll. Mom freaked and yelled Stop! at which point I realized that I could have rolled off the cliff. So instead I took a nap.<br />

<b><span style="color: #990000;">Dear world, </span></b><br />
Yesterday at the beach, Annie finally decided to come into the ocean and play ball. I tried to give her tips and show her how to do things. But she said she could do it herself. So the next thing I knew, I looked over and a wave was coming. I barked "Annie, JUMP!" But of course she didn't listen. She just automatically learned to be (body) surfer Annie.<br />

<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Dear world,</b></span><br />
At my favorite park, there was this very beautiful tree. Kids were always playing on it. Then the other day a sign was on the tree. The tree asked for no climbing because it was fragile, tender and worn but it wanted to stay. I sat down and decided I will help protect it. But I had to leave to go home. The next day I came back, and it was no longer there. I was so sad. I guess it wasn't cared for back. But I cared. Thank you Caring Tree for as you say giving me your gift of strength and peace. I will always remember you.<br />

<b><span style="color: #990000;">Dear world,</span></b><br />
I just found out about Bagpipe Appreciation Day. I thought I should celebrate considering that Golden Retrievers have Scottish roots . Did you know that? In the 1700's in Scotland, dogs were needed that could retrieve from water and land so Golden Retrievers were born! I wish they taught them how to play bagpipes at that time, then I would have that in my DNA too. Uh, but then maybe I would have to wear a kilt, so never mind.<br />

become totally obsessed with Seaweed snacks ! Annie thinks with my obsession
with ocean swimming and now seaweed, maybe I becoming a Bearfish. Rosy said if
that is the case, she would like me to introduce her to some tuna. </span><br />

The other day Mom decided to surprise us. We arrived at the park as usual. But instead of Mom and Dad sitting on the mat, Mom set up a picnic for me, Rosy and Annie! Freshly cooked turkey burgers just for us! We asked what the occasion was and she said "just because". Isn't that an awesome occasion?<br />

<b><span style="color: #990000;">Dear world,</span></b><br />
The Royal baby has arrived. How exciting! I am just so curious what his name will be. So I googled what people were guessing and these names are the favorites:.<br />
<u><b>James</b> </u>- means "supplanter". That makes sense if he replaces someone - I guess maybe he will someday then become King James? And maybe he would be a real slick James like Bond.<br />
<u><b>George</b></u> - means "farmer" . That's nice, he will be close with the land. Plus he could be handsome like Clooney or really big like Giant George (the world's largest dog).<br />
<u><b>Alexander</b></u> - means "defender of people" - well that certainly makes sense for a Royal. So I guess he would need to aspire to be Alexander the Greater ?<br />
<u><b>Arthur</b></u> is another name that is popular and that is my personal favorite. Do you know why? Cause it means Bear !!! Wouldn't that be cool! Prince Arthur (Bear) !<br />

<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Dear world,</b></span><br />
I have a new routine now. Almost everyday we go to SeaGrove Park. When we get there, Mom throws the ball and I start to roll over it. I roll one way and see my wonderful ocean. I roll the other way and see the pretty sea grove trees and humans enjoying a beautiful day. At the same time I smell and get a massage by the deliciously green grass. And all the time I am thinking, I am a happy dog.<br />

<b><span style="color: #990000;">Dear world,</span></b><br />
The other day at the park I watched a Dad play catch with his daughter. So I asked Mom if we could play catch. She said sure. So she took out the bag with my chicken cookies, held one in her hand and said "CATCH!" I love my Mom!<br />

<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Dear world,</b></span><br />
It is finally Del Mar Racing season. Rosy is so excited. Opening day is the most fashionable event of the year, with thousands of ladies wearing their most beautiful hats. So she picked out a new dress for Annie and herself. And of course, accessorized with chic hats. Then she selected one of Dad's ties for me and said I should wear a hat as well. So here we are all ready for Opening Day. Only problem, as canines, we are not allowed into the Racetrack.<br />
