Bear Update!

It's been a while since we've had an update on Bear. We received a letter from Ken and it is below. All is well, and it sounds like Bear may be a little skinnier than when he left us - wish I could say the same - ha!

Chris -

Hi. Nice to hear from you again.

Bear is doing great! He and Echo have become quite the dynamic duo. They often sit together for hours at one of the glass doors and watch over the yard, making sure there are no unwanted cats, deer, or squirrels.

We are walking together twice a day, every day. 2.5 to 4 miles first thing in the morning and another mile in the late afternoon. He especially enjoys getting toweled off after a rainy walk. What a character!

Bear had his first grooming here on the island. He was very well behaved and took it like a veteran. So he's looking quite handsome and we think he's even slimmed down a little with all of the walking.

Echo and Bear even touch noses occasionally. There are the usual expected tussles and growly exchanges, especially over favorite chew toys. She's still the boss though and he knows it.

We are so thrilled to have him. He is very affectionate and loves to snuggle up. We're enjoying him so much.

Have a safe trip. I'll send some photos of the little guy when I can. - Ken, Morgan, Echo & Bear
