Wife and I are older and our dogs are our babies.
Both were killed by a bear two days ago. The little one attacked the bear and our big fella went after him protecting her.

Bless you Toby and Jess...

I always hug my kids and tell them I love them whenever I can and I did the same with my babies...Life is short, sweet and sometimes sad..

Did you kill the bear??  I would have killed it where it stood.

What kind of dogs were they?  Mine would have took one look and ran the other way.  Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss.  But why in the world are you dogs roaming unsupervised outside?

Let's hope you killed the damned bear.

The big fella has my respect. That dog had courage and loyalty.

I wouldn't think any less of you if you took a shot at that bear. I would do the same, if given the chance.

I feel for you, OP.

Sorry for your loss... I'd be heartbroken.

I was going to say you should take out the bear but on second thought the bear was just being a bear and doing bear shit. It's an unfortunate incident...no more animals should die...

That's terrible. Rest in peace Toby & Jess. I'm sorry for your loss. Yeah I'd have ventilated that fucking bear.

49, I am very sorry to hear of the fate of your two dogs, how brave your boy must have been to try and protect his mate. I won't try to armchair quarterback what happened, I understand that there are still places in America where it is fitting for dogs to run loose, as mine did when I was a boy. We are older now as well, and our dogs live in a yard or on a leash these days, and we certainly love them as you did yours. Your good dogs knew that you loved them, and are waiting for you further on up the road. If you are inclined, I hope you whack that damn bear a good one and end his dog killing days, if you are not, then live and let live, I suppose enough blood has spilled... Treasure the memories of your faithful dogs.

Sorry to hear that, back when I lived on the edge of the Ocala forest a bear got one of my dags.

I'd be out right now with a 458 SOCOM SBR with revenge in my heart.

Sorry OP. Same thing worries me at the cabin, bears and yotes. Our little guys are not aware of those dangers, one never meets a stranger.

I'm sorry to hear that...........and I do understand.

Sorry 49.
I've lost pets to predators.
Hope it was fast, nature can be very cruel.

You can now give two more dogs great lives! Go to it!

Damn dude.

Sorry for your losses.

My GSD has been harassing me to take her outside because it's raining, and she loves the rain, but I can't find my umbrella.

Really puts shit in perspective. Guess I'm going to get soaked along with her now.

Damn, very sorry OP.

Oh OP, Dear God, I pray for you and your wife.  Stay strong brother.  My thoughts and prayers are with you. There is a greater reason for everything that happens.  Stay strong.  Those dogs loved you as much as you loved them.  You are blessed to have experienced and felt such. God bless.


(at this point in our lives our dogs are our children too)





PM me if want.  Be strong.  They likely saved you and your wife.

Thank you for the kind comments. We live very rural in a forest and have been here with minimal issues with the bears for almost 25 years.
But this year it has been different with the drought and the bears woke up early to an empty larder. Two weeks ago a bear destroyed my chickenhouse but spared most of the chickens. The dogs were defending their turf. I know the bear  and he will be back and he will be dead..

I am truly sorry for your loss and I know what you are going through, our dogs are part of our family too.

Sounds like the bear was defending itself from an attack by your dogs based on your own op. Was the bear in your yard?
5/17/2015 9:03:15 AM EDT

Oh wow, I'm so very sorry.

Sorry for your loss 49.
My buddy in my avatar is my best friend.

Very sorry to hear that. They sound like they were fearless dogs.

Sorry for your loss. . I know how much dogs become family members and when they pass it hurts bad.  

Good luck with your bear hunt.  It sounds like it is necessary since that bear is looking at your place as a food source.
