Pet Of The Month - Cynder Bear
Cynder Bear is a Black Chow Chow who I met many years ago. Her owner,
Bethany, is a very close friend of mine who lived in Bradford, VT. I first came to
know Cynder when I would go visit my friend in Bradford. Cynder, like most
Chows, was very protective of her owner and didn't make friends with me right
off. A few years back, Cynder and her owner moved to this area. It was at this
time that Cynder and I became very close. I began taking care of Cynder at my
house when my friend would go away. Cynder had some anxiety when her mom
would leave her, but she soon became comfortable at my house and grew to
really like staying with me. I took care of her on many occasions and even
worked up to being able to groom her. I earned her trust and our bond really
grew strong. I gave Cynder the nickname : Cyndee. She developed friendships
with my dogs and cats. Cynder really seemed to be enjoying life in this area.
Her mom works at a local Veterinary hospital and took Cyndee to work with her
everyday. Cyndee lived out on the islands with her mom, Bethany,
her mom's companion, Shawn, and her two cat friends Simon & Pheobee.
About 8 months ago, Bethany called me and let me know that Cyndee's kidneys
were failing. Being a veterinary technician, she caught it early and began many
different types of treatments. Her owner did an excellent job of taking care of
Cyndee during her illness. Cyndee's health improved and she managed very
well considering her condition. Two weekends ago I cared for Cyndee at my
house for a couple days. She was still happy and enjoyed her stay, but she was
having a hard time getting around. Her health continued to fail. Cynder passed
away on April 29th after 13 years of life. I'll never forget Cynder Bear! She was
a beautiful girl who will always live on in the hearts of those who loved her.

MY HEART BELONGS TO A CHOW CHOW

That blue black tongue,
That fluffy mane -
The Chow Chow stands apart.
Devoted, proud and loyal,
Sure to win your heart.
A dog that's quick
To give a hug,
And often makes me grin-
My Chow Chow means
The world to me,
My dog, my love, my friend.
