Grizzly was born July 13, 2017 and became a member of our family when he was just a 4 week old puppy. It happened in the simplest of ways— a quick cuddle with him curling into my shoulder. From that moment on, he was our dog. We brought him home August 28th, 2017. He was 6 weeks old

As the years went on, our family grew. Grizzly served as the family protector through four pregnancies and five kids. He was also the greatest at hide-and-seek and loved a good game of tug-o-war. He especially loved to snuggle on the couch and watch tv.

We had almost nine years with our Grizzly. He spent his final days with his Papa, enjoying the outside breeze and watching Avatar. He died peacefully in his sleep on 1/4/26.

He will always be remembered as the gentle giant we loved and cherished.
