My Favorite Hiking Companion

One of the nice things about hiking with Bear is how comfortable people are talking to me compared to when I’m alone. You would not believe how many times I’ve been told that I’m so handsome and well-behaved. Thankfully they also complement Bear, particularly the horse riders who appreciate his gentleness around their nervous steeds.

The Hall Monitor

Bear loves to sleep in the hallway, halfway between my office and my wife’s office. He’s sleeping there now, quietly snoring in the dark. He had been sleeping beside me on the couch but he’ll sometimes get up and go where it’s dark and quiet and free of cats.
