Steph and I made our annual trip to Dads grave site. Orchard has had some crazy weather lately and there were multiple downed trees and large branches. We put out the new Cubs flag, brought grass seed to seed the site and just over all cleaned the area up. On our way home we stopped to see Grandma and Grandpa. Due to their age and Grandmas health they aren't able to come to many family things anymore so about the only time we get to see them is if we go there. We have to be a little strategic about it because if we call the week before Grandma gets all nervous about the house and gets worked up enough that she calls to cancel. So instead we have started looking for Grandpa at the Lunchbox having coffee in the morning and stopping to ask him if it would be alright if we stopped by. This way Grandma doesn't have to stress about the house and we still get to see them. Lets be honest we don't care about the house a bit we just want to see them. Bear is always up for visitors too. I have never seen a dog that was so loyal and protective of his people as Bear is with Grandpa! Grandpa has to be touching him the entire time he lays by the couch or Bear is nudging him to pet him again.
