🐾 Meet Bear & Louie — Two Forever Good Boys 🐶💙🌈
Human: Joy Bogard — Finance Department
Official Titles: Forever Chief Snoozing Officer 💤 & Guardian of Snow Days and Snuggles 🐾
Behind our Finance Department's Joy were two very special boys who filled her family's life with laughter, comfort, and unconditional love. Today, we honor them both.
🌈🐻 Bear, AKA "Cinnamon Sugar Boy" — Director of Naps & Conversations
Rescued at age 2, Bear spent 12 wonderful years with Joy's family. This gentle Chow/Lab giant was the sweetest, slightly grumpy senior citizen!
At 14, he preferred snoozing over toys, blueberries and raspberries over just about anything, and talking back like a Husky! 😂🫐
Joy's beloved Cinnamon Sugar Boy recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge, leaving a lifetime of precious memories behind. ❤️
🌈🐶 Louie — Director of Snow Days & Emotional Support
Joy's very first pup came home at just 4 months old and shared 15½ beautiful years with her.
This goofy Golden Retriever loved rolling in the snow—but retrieving? Apparently, nobody explained the job description! 😂❄️
Louie always knew when Joy or her kiddos needed comfort. He'd curl up close, rest his chin on their stomach, and stay by their side.
And the sound of someone eating an apple? Louie reported for duty IMMEDIATELY! 🍎🐾
💙 Their Forever Management Philosophy: "Life is better with snacks, naps, snowy adventures, and someone who loves you unconditionally."
We like to imagine Bear and his big brother Louie reunited beyond the Rainbow Bridge—Louie playing in the snow while Bear finds the perfect sunny spot for a nap.❤️
Two beautiful souls. Two lifetimes of love. Paw prints that will never fade.
Run free, sweet boys. You were loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure. 💙🐾
