Denali a.k.a. Bug

Good-Bye to Bug
It was sad to read this morning of the passing of Bug, our grizzly bear, who was euthanized this morning. Bug had been showing signs of lameness and stiffness in his legs. He had been put on multiple medications to control his pain, but his condition did not improve significantly. A veterinary exam this morning revealed joint deterioration in his right hip, resulting in a bone-on bone situation, and part of the socket had worn away. There were also bone chips in his feet making it very painful to walk. Bah and his brother Bug came to Portland in February, 1985 when they were a little more than 3 years old. Bah died in 2001. They were both very special to all that worked with them.
