We got up at 630am this morning and headed over to this year’s “Walk for Hope” at 30 degrees F; the cold did not deter the Bear from barking at every dog he saw and one dog broke away from his minder and rushed at the Bear. Bear, as usual, stood his ground and matched the slightly bigger dog at every jab. The confrontation lasted only a few seconds.

Once we started the walk, the Bear was not happy being 532nd out of a thousand walkers, so we made a fast pace through the three-plus miles.
