Bear!

Bear finally made it home to Littleton. On February 1st we drove up to a small town outside Vail and picked him up. He was pretty scared the first couple of days, but is now a full-fledged member of the family. Even Matt tolerates him! He loves me and Millie (because we give him the most attention) and Ruby is interested when she wants. He loves to follow me around the house and is content to watch me do whatever I am up to. The house training was pretty easy since he is older. Bear loves to be outside, but is very timid about new things. He is not much of a watchdog - a cat sat in the yard for about ten minutes the other day before Bear even noticed it. He proceeded to bark viciously with no response from the cat. He finally gave up and came whining to the back door. Not doing much for boosting the testosterone level in the house!
