Bear, the Dog of the Day
Name: Bear
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: Golden Retriever
Home: Medford, Oregon, USA
 
   Bear loves to swim, play, and learn new tricks. She can be lazy most of the time but she has that burst of energy time to time. She will run around our backyard like a nut!

    Buffy Bear is a great, smart(at times), dog who knows a lot of tricks. She can so far sit, stay, come, lay, roll over, play dead, crawl, beg, shake paws, and can jump through a hoola hoop. When I first brought the hoola hoop out she was terrified. I coaxed her over and set the hoop up, put a treat on the other side, and she came through! Then I lifted it up higher and higher each time until she had to jump through it.

    Bear used to love water! She would jump right into a stream or pool if she could - but she went to the dog groomers and that all changed. I'm guessing they sprayed her in the face with water because now she is not too fond of water. It is very sad, because she used to love it so much.

    She also loves snow! When it snows here, she goes crazy and frolics in the powder. She will roll around in it and even eat it! I make a snowball and throw it to her and she catches it and eats it. I once made a snow man and Bear came up behind me and pounced on it and started to chow down! She destroyed it to nothing.

    She is one of the greatest dogs I have ever had, and she is definitely one of my best friends.
