Hi Fred:
I am sorry to hear about Bear. You must be simply devasted.
I too lost a (10 year old) male Pyr last Christmas in less than 24 hours and didn't see it coming.
I'm glad you have a place for Bear on your ranch.
The next few months may not be easy so hang in there.

Dear Pyr friends,
7 years ago we rescued a big male Pyrenees. His name was John's Care Bear.
When he came to live with us, he just went by Bear.
Several days ago, he went off his feed. No temperature. No sore/tender
spots that I could detect. He only allowed me to check the outside of his
teeth and gums.
Yesterday morning, the left upper side of his jaw was swollen and he was
drooling blood.
Off to the vet thinking it may be an abscessed tooth. Wrong...
He had a huge tumor on the top right inside of the jaw and roof of the
mouth. Inoperable. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge with his great head in my
lap.
I brought him home and buried him on the ranch.
Bear was 10 years old...
Wait for me big fella...
Fred
