October 16, 2007 - December 23, 2020

Polarbear Nation. It’s a sad time for our family, but we had to put our Polarbear Sophie down on December 23, 2020. A magnifident companion for 13 years 3 months. As you can all relate Sophie was more human than animal. Like Sophie’s mom Tinkerbelle, she was destined to be a star! She gave my family so much love and good times. Sophie loved people, walks, water, her ball, and trips. She literally knew our exit at the Jersey shore and would rise up in the back seat. I want to share a few pictures of her…..

I want to thank Ruth for sending me puppy #9. A fantastic gal who for 20+ years worked tirelessly for the well-being and placement of her pups. You Rock Ruth!

March 31, 2013 - November 27, 2021

My companion crossed the rainbow bridge on Saturday November 27, 2021. The joy she brought to me, Kim, and our entire family.  From the day I picked her up May 2013, she was always by my side. Literally by my side, like we were glued to the hip.  She loved playing hide ‘n seek when she was a puppy, always attentive and eager to learn. She was so smart understanding the Command “Leave it” early in her training.  This made playing fetch very enjoyable. With Frisbee and tennis balls she had to be theatrical performing flying leaps to catch either of them.  From the time the pool opened until it closed, she would play with our grandchildren, loved to be wet. And always shared ice cream with them.

Our two oldest Granddaughters grew up with her, they were able to push her a side if they felt she was too close or trying to take their toys. Juno loved the children always showing so much affection. As they got older, she would try to push them off the couch when they were in her space.  We have so many found memories of her.  She was everything that we knew she would be, from the day she arrived at the airport , through puppyhood, early  stages of gaining her personality, which was awesome, she was a great Guard dog, always alerting us to someone near our home, but then friendly beyond what she needed to be with all that we welcomed.  One time she climbed into the UPS truck thinking she was going for a ride.  She loved going for rides, that meat we were going for a walk-in town, living in the country that walk was a treat.  She will be truly missed and loved forever, until we meet again my friend…
