Beemer 1990-2003

Our long time friend and companion, Beemer, is no longer with us. She was just shy of 14 years old. I gave her to Shannon as a wedding present. It was a long hard decision to let her go. She was just too uncomfortable all the time. She was always plagued with ear problems and they were getting bad again. She wouldn't have survived a 7th surgery. The doc said he was amazed at how long she lived because dogs of her breed and size don't generally live past 10-11.

She lived a good life and will always bring a smile to our family's faces. The hours and hours spent playing in the surf at Dog Beach when she was a pup. Playing in the snow at our place on Palomar Mountain. Fetching her off the roof of the neighbors house that was buried in a snow drift and getting stuck myself in the process. The way she would watch the road as we drove and would lean into the corners a split second before we started the turn.

She will be missed more than I can say...
