My wife and I adopted this dog 7 years ago on Christmas eve. My son found her as a stray and took her home but couldn't care for her so he talked us into taking her . He named her honey bear but I got to calling her dummy bear because of some of the stupid things she did . She turned out to be a great dog and she will be missed. The cancer is in her shoulder so she has lost the use of one front leg we are hoping that it progresses slowly. As long as she isn't in pain and can still walk around we are going to keep her around but we know that the day is coming.
