I can attest to Bear's gentle side. He looks so happy here Lisa! - My fave is post 6.

Thanks Ed, Marko and MA. Marko, he's really started to come out of his shell since you were here. He actually stood something down (a signpost with a piece of garbage bag stuck to it...lol...it was dark outside) and barked at it (X2) instead of running away (he's not barked at all since before that time). He has a very loud, deep and "big tough dog" sounding bark too...I was quite surprised when he finally let out his voice!
MA, the vet figures he's about 2 years old and he has a really gentle soft temperament for a BC....but he does love to run, especially into water then out onto land!

And then roll in the dirt ...then drop into any small puddle he can find, even if it's a bit of water left in the gutter next to the road. Yep ... sounds like our Sooty. He was also amazingly good and gentle with people and children.
